Scientists Discover Rare, Nearly Invisible Galaxy Dominated By Dark Matter
According to researchers, approximately 99 percent of this galaxy's total mass is dark matter.

Astronomers Find ‘Impossible’ Galaxy ACDG-2 With Virtually No Stars and a Massive Dark Matter Core
Astronomers have identified CDG-2, a faint galaxy in the Perseus cluster that appears to be composed almost entirely of dark matter. Located 300 million light-years from Earth, it was discovered by tracking globular star clusters using data from Hubble, Euclid, and Subaru telescopes. Scientists estimate that about 99% of its total mass is dark matt...

Angry Sun Puts India At Risk, ISRO Warns Of Strong Radio Blackout
The Sun is angry again, unleashing a series of powerful solar flares that have triggered warnings from space agencies across the world, including India's ISRO, which is closely monitoring the situation for potential strong radio blackout conditions.

James Webb Helps Astronomers Chart the Universe’s Hidden Dark Matter
Astronomers have created the sharpest map yet of dark matter using deep observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. By analysing the gravitational distortion of hundreds of thousands of distant galaxies, the team traced invisible dark matter across a large region of the sky. The results confirm that dark matter forms the scaffolding arou...

Hubble Reveals How Blue Straggler Stars Stay Young in Ancient Clusters
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered new clues to the mystery of blue straggler stars—unusually hot, bright stars found in ancient globular clusters. By studying ultraviolet light from 48 clusters, scientists discovered that blue stragglers are more common in sparse clusters, supporting the idea that they form through binar...

Hubble Data Reveals Previously Invisible ‘Gas Spur’ Spilling From Galaxy NGC 4388’s Core
The elliptical galaxy NGC 4388, situated in the Virgo Cluster approximately 60 million light-years from Earth, features an intriguing long tail of glowing gas, as shown in a recent image uploaded to the Hubble site in late 2025. This galaxy, viewed edge-on from Earth’s perspective, displays a bright spur of ionized gas spilling out from its core....

NASA Finds Most Distant Calm Galaxy Cluster Ever Seen in Early Universe
Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered SPT-CL J2215-3537, a massive galaxy cluster located 8.4 billion light-years away. Nicknamed the “Champagne Supernova” cluster, it is the most distant relaxed cluster ever observed, showing no signs of recent collisions. Its calm structure and active star formation challenge ex...

ISS Microgravity Experiment Reveal How Particles Behave Without Gravity
A microgravity experiment aboard the International Space Station is helping scientists understand how particles move and cluster without gravity. Conducted inside the station’s laboratory, the study could improve space safety, support future Moon and Mars missions, and deepen understanding of Earth-based processes such as pollution, pollen spread...

Hubble Captures Gas Escaping Sideways Spiral Galaxy NGC 4388 in Virgo Cluster
Hubble has captured a glowing plume of gas escaping the spiral galaxy NGC 4388 in the Virgo cluster. Moving through hot intracluster gas, the galaxy sheds material, partially energised by its central black hole. Multi-wavelength observations reveal the impact of both environmental forces and central activity on galaxy evolution.

Massive Sunspot Complex on the Sun Raises Risk of Strong Solar Storms
A massive sunspot complex has appeared on the Sun, covering an area comparable to the legendary Carrington Event region. Known as AR 4294-96, the active cluster features highly tangled magnetic fields that could unleash powerful solar flares and geomagnetic storms, potentially disrupting satellites, power grids, and global communications if Earth-d...

New Study Models How Interstellar Objects Could Approach and Impact Earth
A new study simulating billions of hypothetical interstellar objects finds that potential Earth-crossing bodies would most likely arrive from the solar apex and the galactic plane. The research highlights relative approach patterns rather than predicting real impacts. Scientists emphasise that known visitors like ‘Oumuamua and Borisov pose no dan...

AI in Space: Why Elon Musk, Google, and Amazon Want to Make It the Next Frontier?
Major AI companies are exploring space-based data centres to cut energy and cooling costs. Google is researching solar-powered TPU satellites under Project Suncatcher, while Nvidia-backed Starcloud is preparing to launch an H100-equipped satellite powered entirely by solar energy. Leaders like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have also expressed interest, ...
