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...

New ALMA Images Reveal Complex Rings Left Behind by Planet Formation
Astronomers used ALMA to capture unprecedented images of young exoplanetary systems. The ARKS survey mapped 24 debris disks, revealing rings, gaps and collisions that trace planetary evolution. These snapshots expose chaotic transitional stages, helping scientists understand how newborn planets mature into stable systems like our own Solar System t...

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.

OpenAI Claims Scientists Are Increasingly Using ChatGPT as a Research Collaborator
OpenAI’s report shows scientists are using AI systems like ChatGPT to assist with research tasks from literature review to experimental planning. The company argues these tools can increase productivity in science and engineering and advocates broader access to advanced AI for researchers. Experts note AI can help but still requires human oversig...
