Hubble Delivers Best View Yet of Rare Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Racing Through Solar System
Hubble has captured its sharpest image of 3I/ATLAS, a rare interstellar comet speeding through the solar system at 130,000 mph. The view reveals a dust-filled coma, a faint tail, and activity similar to native comets. Astronomers aim to study its composition before it vanishes forever, offering insight into objects formed around other stars.

Hubble Captures First Images of Ancient Interstellar Visitor Comet 3I/ATLAS
Hubble has captured images of comet 3I/ATLAS, an ancient interstellar object likely 7 billion years old. As only the third known visitor from beyond the solar system, it offers rare insights into distant planetary systems. With its water ice and D-type asteroid-like dust, 3I/ATLAS is now under global scientific scrutiny before it vanishes back into...

China’s Tianwen 2 Probe Snaps Striking Views of Earth and Moon While En Route to Asteroid
China’s Tianwen 2 spacecraft, now millions of kilometers from Earth, captured distant images of Earth and the moon as it journeys to asteroid Kamo'oalewa. Set to collect samples by 2026 and return them in 2027, the mission could reveal insights into the solar system’s formation—before continuing on to a second deep-space target, comet 311P/PA...

Gemini North Telescope Spots Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Racing Through Solar System
Gemini North has imaged 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object to enter our solar system. Larger than its predecessors and possibly older than our solar system, the comet will pass closest to the Sun on Oct. 30 before returning to deep space. Scientists worldwide are racing to gather data during its brief visit.

James Webb Telescope Spots Rare ‘Cosmic Owl’ Formed by Colliding Galaxies
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled the “Cosmic Owl,” a jaw-dropping image of two colliding ring galaxies forming a structure that resembles an owl’s face. This double-ring formation is extraordinarily rare, and the event is shedding light on galaxy evolution, black hole dynamics, and rapid star formation. Led by Ph.D. student Mi...

NASA Astronaut Captures Rare Red Sprite Over Storm from Space Station
In a rare celestial event, NASA astronaut Nichole “Vapor” Ayers captured a vivid red sprite lightning phenomenon from the International Space Station as it flared above a thunderstorm across Mexico and the southern U.S. The image highlights the importance of orbital observation and NASA's citizen-science initiative, Spritacular, which collects ...

Hubble Observations Give Forgotten Globular Cluster Its Moment to Shine
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled ESO 591-12, a long-overlooked globular cluster glittering with multicolored stars. Captured during a survey of missing clusters, this image provides new insight into stellar evolution and the early Milky Way. It marks a vital step in resolving the structure and origin of ancient star systems hidden withi...

Astronomers Capture First-Ever Image of a Dead Star That Exploded Twice in Rare Supernova Event
Astronomers have captured the first-ever image of a white dwarf star undergoing a rare double-detonation supernova. Using the Very Large Telescope, the team revealed that such explosions can occur without a star reaching the Chandrasekhar limit. The findings, published in Nature Astronomy, could reshape existing theories about stellar death and imp...

Two Spacecraft Recreate Artificial Solar Eclipses to Observe the Sun’s Superhot Corona
Twin satellites in ESA’s Proba-3 mission have successfully recreated artificial solar eclipses from space to examine the sun’s million-degree corona. The breakthrough will allow continuous observations of the sun’s outer atmosphere, offering rare insights that natural eclipses on Earth can’t provide. The mission marks a major step in solar ...

NASA’s Perseverance Captures Deimos Before Dawn in Striking Martian Sky Image
NASA’s Perseverance rover captured a rare pre-dawn image of Mars’ moon Deimos on Sol 1433, stitching together 16 long-exposure shots into a 52-second composition. Despite image noise and cosmic interference, the photo reveals Deimos, stars like Regulus and Algieba, and Martian sky conditions, highlighting the rover’s expanding role in celesti...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Shares Detailed Mosaic of the Sombrero Galaxy
NASA’s Hubble reveals a detailed view of the Galactic favourite, the Sombrero Galaxy, telling about the rare shape of the galaxy. The Sombrero Galaxy is found to have metal-rich stars in its outer region. This research has a future scope of getting deeper insights into its formation by using the advanced imaging technique of Hubble.

ISS Captures Rare Gigantic Jet, a Massive Upward Lightning Over New Orleans
A newly released image taken from the ISS captures a rare gigantic jet of lightning extending over 50 miles above New Orleans. The photo, dated November 19, 2024, was discovered in the Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth database. These rare upward-shooting discharges occur when storm cloud charge layers invert, propelling energy skyward. The...

Astronaut Captures Rare ‘Gigantic Jet’ Lightning Extending 50 Miles Above Earth
A rare ‘gigantic jet’ lightning was captured by an astronaut aboard the ISS on November 19, 2024. This massive bolt extended nearly 50 miles into the atmosphere, likely originating from a thunderstorm near New Orleans. The image, later discovered in NASA’s archives, highlights an unusual lightning event that travels upwards instead of strikin...
