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...

Scientists May Have Finally Solved the Sun’s Mysteriously Hot Atmosphere Puzzle
Scientists using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope have detected Alfvén waves in the Sun’s corona, potentially solving the long-standing mystery of its extreme heat and helping refine models of solar and stellar energy transfer.
-
Scientists Detect Hidden Magnetic Waves That Could Explain the Sun’s Mysterious Heat
For the first time, scientists have directly observed twisting Alfvén waves in the Sun’s corona using the Inouye Solar Telescope. The discovery could explain why the Sun’s outer atmosphere is millions of degrees hotter than its surface, offering key insights into solar energy transfer and space weather prediction.

NASA and ESA Trace Mysterious Lunar Flashes to Meteors and Gas Leaks
Transient Lunar Phenomena are mysterious bursts and glows observed on the Moon, lasting from milliseconds to hours. NASA and ESA research show that these events often result from meteoroid impacts, radon gas outgassing, and dust charged by solar wind, illuminating the Moon’s dynamic surface in surprising ways.

Scientists May Finally Explain Mysterious Crown-Like Features on Venus
Venus’ distinctive crown-like coronae may be explained by heat trapped beneath a rigid mantle layer, according to recent studies. This discovery provides key insights into the planet’s geological activity and helps researchers compare Venus’ surface evolution to that of other planets in our solar system

Earth’s Oxygen Explains Mysterious Rust Formation on the Moon
Despite lacking air and water, the Moon hosts hematite—an oxidized iron mineral. Scientists discovered Earth’s escaping oxygen drives this rusting process during the Moon’s passage through the magnetotail. Observations from Chandrayaan-1 and NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter confirm hematite patches where Earth wind suppresses hydrogen an...

Scientists Say Solar Flares Are Hotter Than Expected, Could Reach 108 Million Degrees
A groundbreaking study shows ions in solar flares can reach 108 million°F, about six times hotter than earlier estimates. The research explains decades-old mysteries in flare spectra and urges new “multi-temperature” models to better forecast space weather, protecting satellites, astronauts, and communications from hazardous solar storms.

NASA Missions Uncover a Diverse Galaxy of Super-Earths, Raising New Questions About Planetary Evolution
Super-Earths are among the most common planets in the galaxy, yet none exist in our solar system. Larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, they range from ocean-covered worlds to scorched, atmosphere-less rocks. Some orbit within habitable zones, making them prime candidates for life. NASA’s Kepler and TESS missions, along with upcoming telesc...

Mysterious Planet Nine May Still Lurk in the Outer Solar System
Astronomers have long speculated about a hidden planet—Planet Nine—lurking beyond Neptune. First proposed in 2016, the theory explains the strange orbits of distant Kuiper Belt objects through the gravitational pull of a massive, unseen world. Caltech researchers remain confident, while others suggest alternatives like debris rings or even a bl...

Indian Scientists Unravel the Mystery Behind Rare Aurora Over Ladakh
A team of Indian astronomers has successfully explained the rare aurora seen over Ladakh, caused by intense solar activity and CME collisions. The event, captured in May 2024, was traced using global data and advanced solar models, offering new insights into space weather forecasting and solar storm impacts on Earth.
