NASA Shares Stunning Image Of Sun's Powerful X1.4 Solar Flare
This flare is among the most intense type, it is not expected to impact the Artemis II mission.

Hubble Telescope Captures Comet Reversing Its Rotation for the First Time
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers observed Comet 41P slow, stop, and reverse its spin due to gas jets. The rare phenomenon could mark the beginning of the comet’s breakup as it nears the end of its life.

NASA's Hubble Telescope Captures Rare Real-Time Breakup Of Comet K1
Co-investigator Noonan noted that Hubble had never before observed a disintegrating comet at such close proximity to the actual moment of fragmentation.

SPHEREx Captures Dramatic Outburst of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope captured a dramatic outburst from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after its close solar flyby in October 2025. Infrared observations in December revealed water vapor, carbon dioxide, methanol, methane, and cyanide erupting from the comet’s nucleus. Scientists say the chemical makeup suggests formation in a relatively warm e...

NASA’s SPHEREx Spots Interstellar Comet Flaring With Gas and Organic Molecules
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope has observed interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS unexpectedly brightening as it leaves the solar system. The comet released water vapour, carbon dioxide, and organic compounds months after its closest solar approach. Scientists say the findings provide a rare chemical snapshot of material formed around another star, helping compa...

JWST Uncovers the Origins of the Universe’s First Supermassive Black Holes
James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal that the earliest supermassive black holes formed from massive gas clouds collapsing directly into heavy seeds. This process bypassed normal star formation, allowing black holes to reach millions of solar masses within just 200–500 million years after the Big Bang, solving a long-standing cosmic myst...

NASA’s TESS Captures First Images of Rare Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite has captured rare images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, only the third such object ever detected. Observations from January 2026 reveal the comet rotates every 15 hours and produces sunlight-driven jets, behaving much like Solar System comets. Scientists say studying 3I/ATLAS may unlock clues about th...

Hubble Observations Turn Exoplanet Into Dust; Reveal Rare Double Asteroid Impact in Nearby System
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has revealed that a vanished exoplanet near the star Fomalhaut was never a planet at all. Scientists discovered two rare, violent collisions between asteroid-sized bodies, producing glowing debris clouds that briefly mimicked planets. The findings offer a rare glimpse into how planetary systems evolve and how mislead...

How 3I/ATLAS, Icy Lemmon And Cosmic SWAN Redefined The Sky In 2025
The year stood out for its memorable comet activity, with interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS, along with comets C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) and C/2025 R2 (SWAN), drawing global attention.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe Reveals Sun's Powerful Eruptions And Mysterious Energy Return
Nour Rawafi, a project scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, explained that there had been previous indications that solar material could return in this way, but seeing it so clearly was truly remarkable.
