This New Interstellar Object Could Possibly Be The Oldest Comet Ever Seen
A mysterious object, first observed hurtling across the solar system on July 1, has now been identified as "very likely to be the oldest comet ever."

Meteorite From Outer Solar System Challenges Planet Formation Timeline in Early Solar System
A meteorite from the outer solar system may upend long-held beliefs about planetary formation. New research shows rocky planets like Earth may have formed at the same time as those beyond Jupiter. The findings challenge previous models and suggest a more synchronised origin for rocky worlds across the solar system, with major implications for plane...

New Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Could Reveal Secrets of Distant Worlds
Astronomers have confirmed the arrival of 3I/ATLAS, only the third interstellar object ever spotted in our solar system. First seen on July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS survey team in Chile, it was quickly identified by its unusual hyperbolic orbit and comet-like tail. Larger and brighter than either 1I/ʻOumuamua or 2I/Borisov, 3I/ATLAS is estimated to b...

NASA's New Horizons Proves Deep-Space Navigation via Stellar Parallax
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft accomplished a world-first by performing a deep-space stellar navigation test using stellar parallax. On April 23, 2020, while 438 million miles from Earth, it imaged nearby stars Proxima Centauri and Wolf 359. From the spacecraft’s distant viewpoint, the stars appeared slightly shifted compared to Earth-based obs...

New Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Speeds Through Solar System
Astronomers have identified 3I/ATLAS as the third confirmed interstellar comet, racing through the solar system at 68 km/s. Discovered on July 1, it will pass near the sun in October. Skywatchers can view this rare object live online tonight, thanks to a live stream by the Virtual Telescope Project using observatories in Italy.

Chile Observatory Captures Universe With 3,200-Megapixel Camera
Chile's Vera C. Rubin Observatory, which boasts the world's largest digital camera, has begun displaying its first images of the cosmos, allowing astronomers to figure out how the solar system formed and whether an asteroid poses a threat to Earth.

Scientists Spotted the Largest Comet Lying in the Solar System’s Outskirts with Outbursting Gases
NASA confirms comet C/2014 UN271, the largest known from the Oort Cloud, is chemically active. Detected by ALMA from far beyond Neptune, the comet’s carbon monoxide jets offer rare insights into icy body chemistry and early solar system conditions.

Student-Built Solar Racing Car 'Aagneya' Ready To Shine At World Challenge
Made of carbon fibre, the system taps solar energy and stores it in the 11 Mega Joules battery real time, so there would be no need for any external power.

Parker Solar Probe Witnesses Unprecedented Sunward Plasma Jet Driven by Magnetic Reconnection
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has made a groundbreaking discovery, observing an unprecedented plasma explosion in the Sun's corona. This rare event produced a sunward jet of particles, with protons accelerated to nearly 1,000 times the expected energy. Scientists traced this phenomenon back to a magnetic reconnection site, where twisted solar magnetic ...

Europa Could Briefly Sustain Life When the Sun Becomes a Red Giant Star, Scientists Say
Scientists at Cornell’s Carl Sagan Institute propose that Jupiter’s moon Europa could host life for up to 200 million years during the sun’s red giant phase. While Earth would be incinerated, Europa’s subsurface oceans might temporarily support microbial life, offering a final refuge in the solar system and expanding the search for biosigna...
