Crystalline Ice Discovered in Space: New Study Reveals Hidden Order in Cosmic Ice
A groundbreaking study from University College London and the University of Cambridge reveals that water ice in space, long believed to be completely amorphous due to extreme cold, may actually contain up to 25% crystalline structure. Simulations and X-ray diffraction experiments confirm the presence of nanocrystals in so-called low-density amorpho...

NASA’s Hubble and Webb Discover Bursting Star Formation in Small Magellanic Cloud
NASA’s Hubble and Webb telescopes have captured spectacular images of NGC 460 and NGC 456, two star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud. These young, open clusters are filled with massive, hot stars that trigger new star formation by carving nebulae. The findings provide insights into early universe conditions and interstellar medium behaviour...

Scientists Trace Universe’s Missing Ordinary Matter Using FRBs and X-rays
New astronomical breakthroughs have identified where the universe’s “missing” ordinary matter resides. Using 70 FRBs, including one from 9 billion light-years away, scientists discovered that 76% of ordinary matter exists between galaxies. A separate X-ray study observed an enormous hot gas filament connecting galaxy clusters.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Series One UI 8 Beta 3 With Bug Fixes Reportedly Live in the UK, Other Markets
Samsung has released the latest One UI 8 Beta 3 for its flagship Galaxy S25 series, as per a tipster. The update is said to be rolling out in select markets. The update reportedly does not include any notable new features but carries only fixes for issues discovered in previous updates. A majority of the fixes in the latest Android 16-based beta up...

Most Distant Mini-Halo Discovered in Galaxy Cluster 10 Billion Light-Years Away
Astronomers have uncovered the most distant mini-halo ever detected, located around the galaxy cluster SpARCS1049, a staggering 10 billion light-years from Earth. Using the LOFAR radio telescope network, which spans eight European countries, researchers detected a faint, diffuse glow—evidence of a giant cloud of high-energy particles and magnetic...

ASKAP Telescope Discovers 15 Massive Giant Radio Galaxies, Largest Objects in the Known Universe
Astronomers using the ASKAP telescope have discovered 15 Giant Radio Galaxies, including one stretching 12.4 million light-years. These vast structures offer new clues about black hole life cycles and jet activity. The unprecedented detail of ASKAP’s deep-sky imaging reveals both ancient and recent radio lobes, opening a new chapter in understand...

Russian Researchers Discover 11 New Active Galactic Nuclei In Spektr-RG X-ray Survey
In a significant step for extragalactic astronomy, researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences have identified 11 new active galactic nuclei (AGNs) through the ART-XC telescope aboard the Spektr-RG space observatory. These AGNs, classified as Seyfert galaxies, span redshifts from 0.028 to 0.258 and display X-ray luminosities typical for the pr...

Astronomers Discover Largest Collection of Missing Link Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies
Astronomers have uncovered 2,500 dwarf galaxies containing active black holes using DESI data. This marks the largest-ever discovery of intermediate-mass black holes, with 300 new candidates identified. These findings could help scientists understand how black holes evolve from stellar-mass to supermassive sizes. The research, based on 410,000 gala...

Scientists Discover Two New Supernova Remnants in a Surprising Location
Two previously unknown supernova remnants, J0624-6948 and J0614-7251, have been detected in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Their unexpected location suggests a higher-than-expected concentration of ionised gas, raising new questions about galactic evolution. Scientists propose that gravitational interactions between the Milky Way and ...

Scientists Discover Hidden Clues to the Dark Universe in 3D Galaxy Maps
A breakthrough study has revealed new insights into the "dark universe," which consists of dark matter and dark energy. By using a novel technique called field-level inference (FLI), scientists have discovered previously hidden details in 3D galaxy maps. This method preserves the three-dimensional nature of the data, unlike traditional compression ...

Astronomers Spot New Cosmic Explosions 100 Times Brighter Than the Sun
Astronomers have discovered a new class of cosmic explosions, known as 'millinovas,' which are 100 times brighter than the Sun. These events, first identified in 2023, were observed in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. The millinovas are thought to occur when white dwarfs feed off a companion star, prod...

James Webb Telescope Discovers Star Formation Regions in Sombrero Galaxy
A new image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided a fresh perspective on the Sombrero Galaxy (M104), located 30 million light-years away in the Virgo constellation. Captured in mid-infrared wavelengths by JWST’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), this detailed view reveals star-forming clumps in the galaxy’s outer dust rings...

Astronomers Identify Black Hole Consuming Matter 40 Times Its Theoretical Limit
Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have discovered LID-568, a black hole that is consuming matter at a rate over 40 times the theoretical Eddington limit. This discovery, made in a galaxy formed only 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, sheds light on how supermassive black holes might have evolved rapidly in the early universe. R...
