Astronomers Solve the Mystery Behind M87’s Enormous Space Jet
Astronomers have directly linked the supermassive black hole M87* to its enormous plasma jet using new Event Horizon Telescope data. The findings reveal where the jet originates near the black hole’s shadow, providing crucial insight into how black holes launch matter at nearly the speed of light.

CERN Experiments Confirm Early Universe Behaved Like a Near-Perfect Fluid
Physicists at CERN have directly observed fluid-like behaviour in the quark–gluon plasma that filled the early universe. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider revealed wake-shaped ripples forming behind fast-moving quarks, similar to bow waves in liquids. These quark wakes confirm that the primordial “soup” of quarks and gluons behaved as ...

Scientists Recreate Cosmic ‘Fireballs’ in Lab to Solve Mystery of Missing Gamma Rays
Scientists recreated cosmic plasma beams at CERN to study why certain gamma rays vanish in space. The results showed the beams remain stable, suggesting ancient intergalactic magnetic fields, not beam collapse, hide the signals. The discovery provides new insight into cosmic jets and the universe’s earliest magnetic traces.

Researchers Discover New Plasma Wave in Jupiter’s Auroral Skies
Scientists at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have detected a new plasma wave in Jupiter’s aurora using NASA’s Juno spacecraft. The finding, published in Physical Review Letters, reveals how Jupiter’s magnetic field shapes auroral activity differently from Earth. The study opens new directions for understanding planetary auroras and m...

Researcher Photographs Giant Solar Tornado and Massive Plasma Eruption at the Same Time
On August 20, researcher Maximilian Teodorescu captured a rare photo of two dramatic solar events — a giant tornado of plasma rising 130,000 km and an eruptive prominence spanning 200,000 km. Both were shaped by the sun’s unstable magnetic fields. While the prominence did release a CME, it is not aimed at Earth.

Rare Giant Solar Tornado and Plasma Eruption Captured Together on the Sun
A Romanian researcher captured a rare sight on the Sun — a giant solar tornado alongside a massive plasma eruption. Both events, driven by magnetic field changes, highlight the Sun’s extreme activity during solar maximum. Luckily, the eruption’s CME is not headed toward Earth.

Unusual Plasma Waves Above Jupiter’s North Pole Can Possibly Be Explained
The presence of unusual plasma waves at Jupiter’s North Pole, detected by NASA’s Juno Spacecraft, has been explained by a group of scientists from the University of Minnesota. The team was led by Rober Lysak, wherein findings have resulted in the identification of the new types of plasma waves.

sPHENIX at RHIC Delivers First Results, Sets Stage for Quark–Gluon Plasma Studies
Brookhaven’s sPHENIX detector at RHIC has released its first results from gold-ion collisions, confirming accurate detection of particle counts and energy levels. These measurements validate the detector’s performance and lay the groundwork for exploring quark–gluon plasma (QGP)—a primordial state of matter from the early universe. With bas...

Scientists Capture Plasma Streams, Coronal Raindrops in Sharpest-Ever View of Sun’s Corona
For the first time, scientists have captured ultra-detailed footage of the sun’s outer atmosphere, showing coronal rain and a never-before-seen plasma stream. These new images were made possible by adaptive optics that cut through Earth’s atmospheric interference, revealing structures never observed before. The findings could unlock solar myste...
