Scientists Identify Rare Black Hole Merger in the Early Universe Using Gravitational Mapping
Astronomers have identified two merging supermassive black hole systems named Gondor and Rohan using a new method combining quasars and gravitational wave background signals. The discovery offers a fresh way to map black hole mergers and understand galaxy evolution and cosmic gravitational waves in a clearer and more systematic manner.

NASA’s Hubble Captures Rare Pre-Planetary Transformation as Twin Beams of Light Pierce the Cosmic Dust
A new Hubble image reveals twin beams blasting from a hidden dying star inside the Egg Nebula, a rare pre-planetary phase. The symmetrical arcs and glowing lobes show how Sun-like stars shed dust and gas before forming planetary nebulae, offering scientists a rare glimpse into stellar evolution.

NASA Juno Mission Uncovers Subtle Geometric Shifts That Challenge Existing Models of the Jovian Interior
Scientists have refined Jupiter’s size and shape using modern radio signal observations, finding the giant planet slightly smaller and more flattened than earlier estimates. Though the difference is only a few kilometres, researchers say it greatly improves models of Jupiter’s interior, gravity, and atmospheric structure, offering deeper insigh...

Scientists Uncover "Ghost Genes" That Predate The Dawn Of Life
New research into "universal paralog" genes reveals that the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) was not the first spark of life, but a successor that inherited complex genetic tools from an even older, "pre-LUCA" ecological system.

Venus May Hide a Vast Underground Tunnel Formed by Ancient Volcanic Eruptions, Scientists Say
Scientists analysing NASA’s Magellan radar data have identified signs of a vast underground lava tunnel on Venus. If confirmed, it would be only the second such structure found on the planet, challenging the belief that Venus is geologically inactive and opening new possibilities for studying its volcanic past.
