Rare ‘Crescent Sunrise’ Solar Eclipse to Grace Skies Over Antarctica and New Zealand
A rare partial solar eclipse will bring a crescent sunrise on Sept. 21–22, coinciding with the equinox. Skywatchers in New Zealand, Antarctica, and the South Pacific will witness up to 86% of the sun obscured at dawn, creating one of the most striking celestial spectacles short of a total eclipse.

Astronomers Predict 90 Percent Chance of Spotting an Exploding Black Hole in Next Decade
Astronomers now predict a 90% chance of detecting an exploding primordial black hole within a decade. Such an event would confirm Stephen Hawking’s theory that black holes evaporate, releasing a flash of radiation and exotic particles. Detecting one would revolutionize physics and rewrite our understanding of the universe.

Google Updates Gemini App’s Prompt Bar With an Open-Box Design
Google has rolled out a quality-of-life update to the Gemini app, making small interface adjustments. The biggest change is a redesigned prompt bar. Previously displayed as a closed rectangular box, it now uses an open-box style with only a top border. This layout frees up space, letting users fit more characters in one line.

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Uncovers One of the Youngest Known Blue Straggler–White Dwarf Systems
Italian astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered a white dwarf orbiting a blue straggler star in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, located 15,300 light-years away. The rare system, among the youngest detected, sheds light on stellar mass transfer and offers vital clues to the evolution of binary stars in dense clusters.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Captures Lobster Nebula’s Towering Spires and Massive Stars
NASA’s Webb Telescope imaged the Lobster Nebula (NGC 6357), 5,500 light-years away. Its young star cluster, Pismis 24, contains giant stars carving glowing gas pillars. Pismis 24-1, once thought to be one supermassive star, is a triple system with stars up to 74 times the Sun’s mass.

Cannibal Solar Storm May Trigger Auroras as Powerful Geomagnetic Storm to Hit Earth Soon
Between Sept. 1–2, Earth will be struck by a powerful geomagnetic storm caused by a rare “cannibal” solar eruption. The event formed when a fast coronal mass ejection (CME) overtook and consumed an earlier one, creating a stronger, chaotic cloud. As this storm interacts with Earth’s magnetic field, it may produce vivid auroras visible far b...

Apple Executives Reportedly Have a Disagreement About AI Acquisition Deals
Two Apple executives are reportedly in disagreement over each other’s strategy on how the company should proceed with artificial intelligence (AI). Apple’s foray into the AI space has been limited and marred by endless delays. While one of the reasons behind the delay is its late entry into the space, another is its reluctance to spend big when...

NASA Artemis II Orion Spacecraft Prepares for Historic Crewed Moon Mission with Safety Systems Installed
NASA’s Artemis II Orion spacecraft has taken another major step toward launch. After being fueled, it was moved to the Launch Abort System Facility at Kennedy Space Centre, where engineers are integrating a 44-foot-tall escape system to protect astronauts during liftoff. The mission will see four astronauts, including one from Canada, fly around ...
