Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Shows Wobbling Jets in Rare Sun-Facing Tail, Surprising Astronomers
Astronomers have detected strange wobbling jets in the rare sun-facing tail of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. Observed as the comet neared the Sun, the shifting jets reveal new details about how material escapes from comets formed around other stars, offering rare insight into alien planetary systems.

A Nearby Planet May Have Formed the Moon Following a Collision With Early Earth: Study
A new analysis of Apollo samples and Earth rocks suggests that a nearby rocky planet, not a distant object, collided with early Earth and formed the moon. The study argues that this lost planet, Theia, originated in the inner solar system and shared Earth’s early neighbourhood, offering fresh insight into one of the most important events in our p...

Scientists Find Clock on Mars Runs 477 Microseconds Faster Than Earth
A new study by NIST physicists shows that clocks on Mars run about 477 microseconds faster per day than identical clocks on Earth. The difference comes from Mars’s weaker gravity, orbital eccentricity, and gravitational influences across the solar system. Though tiny, this daily time lead will pose challenges for future Mars navigation and commun...

NASA’s Perseverance May Have Found Its First Meteorite on Mars
NASA’s Perseverance rover may have discovered its first meteorite on Mars, a 31-inch iron-nickel boulder named Phippsaksla found in Jezero Crater. Its pitted, coral-like texture and unusually high metal content resemble meteorites previously identified by Curiosity, Spirit, and Opportunity. Scientists are now analysing the rock’s composition in...

Icy Moons Might Have Oceans That Briefly Boil, Study Suggests
A new study suggests that icy moons such as Mimas and Enceladus may host boiling subsurface oceans triggered by thinning ice shells and falling pressure. This low-temperature boiling could still support life beneath the surface. The research also explains geological features on larger icy moons and strengthens their potential as sites for finding e...

Study Traces Moon-Forming Impact to an Inner Solar System Neighbour Named Theia
A new isotopic study reveals that Theia—the Mars-sized body that struck Earth 4.5 billion years ago to form the Moon—likely originated in the inner Solar System, close to Earth’s birthplace. By comparing heavy-element isotope ratios in lunar rocks, Earth samples, and meteorites, researchers found identical signatures, showing both worlds form...

Mystery Deepens as Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Brightens Unexpectedly Near the Sun
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS defied expectations during its 2025 solar flyby, brightening far faster than predicted. Observatories worldwide recorded a blue coma rich in exotic gases, suggesting unique chemistry from another star system. Scientists are investigating whether its unusual composition or speed caused the outburst, marking a new interste...
