Scientists Spot Ultra-Fast Pulsar Near Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole
Scientists have detected a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near the Milky Way’s central black hole. If confirmed, this rare object could act as a precise cosmic clock, helping researchers study how gravity behaves in extreme environments and offering a powerful new way to test Einstein’s theory of general relativity ...

New Study Predicts Cosmic ‘Big Crunch’ Could End Everything in 20 Billion Years
New research suggests the Universe’s expansion could eventually reverse, leading to a dramatic “Big Crunch.” By analyzing dark energy survey data, scientists propose expansion may stop in about 11 billion years before contraction begins. The model predicts a final cosmic collapse roughly 20 billion years from now, though uncertainties remain ...

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...

Doctor Reveals One Drink And One Brain Exercise That May Lower Dementia Risk
The doctor shared a video in which he referred to a large observational study involving more than 131,000 people who were followed for up to 43 years

Dark Matter May Not Exist, Study Suggests Gravity Works Differently at Cosmic Scales
A new theoretical study suggests dark matter may not exist, proposing instead that gravity behaves differently across vast cosmic distances. By modifying how gravity weakens over scale, the research explains galaxy rotation and lensing effects without unseen particles, raising questions about long-standing cosmological models and inviting a fresh l...

James Webb Space Telescope Spots Most Distant Galaxy That Existed 280 Million Years After Big Bang
MoM-z14's light has travelled over 13.5 billion years to reach Earth, the scientists have revealed.

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...

Kepler Data Reveals Earth-Size Exoplanet on the Edge of Its Star’s Habitable Zone
Scientists studying Kepler telescope data have identified HD 137010 b, a possible Earth-sized planet orbiting a Sun-like star. While the planet follows a year-long orbit and may sit near the habitable zone, limited starlight could leave it colder than Mars. Future observations will determine whether this icy world truly exists.

Scientists Search the Big Bang’s Afterglow for Signs of Colliding Parallel Universes
Some physicists argue our universe may be just one bubble in a much larger multiverse. Inflation theory suggests countless universes can form, each with different physical laws, while quantum mechanics allows branching realities. This idea could explain why cosmic constants appear finely tuned for life. However, other universes may be fundamentally...

Is Space Sticky? New Study Challenges Standard Dark Energy Theory
New observations from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument are challenging the standard Lambda-CDM model of cosmology. A recent, still-unpublished hypothesis suggests that space itself may behave like a slightly viscous or “sticky” fluid, subtly affecting how the universe expands. By introducing a ghostly resistance to cosmic growth, the mo...
