  Tiny Red Dots Spotted By NASA’s James Webb Telescope Could Be Black Hole Stars

  NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope revealed mysterious “little red dots” that seem too bright and mature for their age. A new study suggests they may be black hole stars—giant hydrogen spheres powered by black holes—helping explain the rapid growth of early supermassive black holes.

  James Webb Space Telescope Spots Rare Protostar Blasting Twin Jets Across Milky Way

  NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a rare protostar about ten times the Sun’s mass blasting twin jets nearly eight light-years long. The beams carve through the glowing Sharpless 2-284 nebula, offering astronomers a vivid glimpse into how massive stars form and shape their galactic environment.

  NASA Hubble Space Telescope Uncovers One of the Youngest Known Blue Straggler–White Dwarf Systems

  Italian astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered a white dwarf orbiting a blue straggler star in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, located 15,300 light-years away. The rare system, among the youngest detected, sheds light on stellar mass transfer and offers vital clues to the evolution of binary stars in dense clusters.

  NASA Detects Strange Gamma-Ray Burst That Defies 50 Years of Expectations

  Astronomers have spotted GRB 250702B, a gamma-ray burst that erupted several times over two days—something never seen before. Detected by NASA’s Fermi and China’s Einstein Probe, the event defies current models of collapsing stars or black holes, hinting at an entirely new cosmic phenomenon.

  NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Captures Lobster Nebula’s Towering Spires and Massive Stars

  NASA’s Webb Telescope imaged the Lobster Nebula (NGC 6357), 5,500 light-years away. Its young star cluster, Pismis 24, contains giant stars carving glowing gas pillars. Pismis 24-1, once thought to be one supermassive star, is a triple system with stars up to 74 times the Sun’s mass.

  James Webb Spots Bizarre Planet-Forming Disk Full of Carbon Dioxide

  The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a bizarre planet-forming disk dominated by carbon dioxide where water is almost absent. This rare finding, in star system XUE 10 within NGC 6357, challenges current models of planetary formation and may reshape our understanding of habitable worlds.

  NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Spots Rare Quintet of Galaxies From the Early Universe

  Astronomers using JWST and Hubble have discovered JWST’s Quintet, a system of at least five merging galaxies just 800 million years after the Big Bang. This rare find shows how galaxies grew rapidly in the early universe and may explain how some became inactive so soon.

  Astronomers Propose Rectangular Telescope to Hunt Earth-Like Planets

  Astronomers are exploring a revolutionary space telescope design with a long, narrow primary mirror instead of a traditional circular one. A 20×1 m rectangular mirror concentrates resolution along its length, enabling it to separate Earth-like planets from their stars at ~30 light-years in infrared light. Rotating the telescope 90° captures plane...

  NASA Telescope Detects Possible Signs Of Alien Life On Distant 'Water World'

  Researchers using the Webb telescope found traces of two gases, dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), in the atmosphere of K2-18b, a planet 124 light-years away.

  Powerful Space Telescope Observes Interstellar Object, Finds CO2 And Water

  NASA explained that the object has been categorised as interstellar because of the hyperbolic shape of its orbital path.

  James Webb Telescope Discovers Tiny New Moon Orbiting Uranus

  A team from the Southwest Research Institute has discovered a tiny new moon orbiting Uranus using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. The moon, called S/2025 U1, is just 6 miles (10 kilometers) wide, too small for Voyager 2 to detect during its 1986 flyby. This discovery brings Uranus’s total known moons to 29, with S/2025 U1 orbiting 35,000 mil...

  Hubble Discovers White Dwarf Merger Remnant with Unusual Carbon Signature

  An international team of astronomers has discovered WD 0525+526, an unusual white dwarf about 128 light-years away, using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Unlike typical white dwarfs, this star formed through a stellar merger and shows an unexpectedly high carbon content. With a mass of 1.2 Suns and a scorching surface temperature of 21,000 K, the ...

  NASA Missions Uncover a Diverse Galaxy of Super-Earths, Raising New Questions About Planetary Evolution

  Super-Earths are among the most common planets in the galaxy, yet none exist in our solar system. Larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, they range from ocean-covered worlds to scorched, atmosphere-less rocks. Some orbit within habitable zones, making them prime candidates for life. NASA’s Kepler and TESS missions, along with upcoming telesc...
