AI Identifies More Than 1,300 Unusual Objects in Hubble Space Telescope Images
Artificial intelligence has combed through decades of Hubble Space Telescope data, revealing hundreds of unusual celestial objects that astronomers had missed. ESA’s AnomalyMatch neural network scanned around 100 million image cutouts in just days, flagging more than 1,300 anomalies. Among them are colliding galaxies, rare gravitational lenses, a...

NASA Evaluates Early Liftoff for SpaceX Crew-12 Following Rare ISS Medical Evacuation
NASA has announced a pair of news conferences on Jan. 30 to discuss final preparations for the SpaceX Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station. The four-astronaut flight, launching aboard a Falcon 9 rocket in February 2026, is part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program and will support ongoing research and station maintenance during a month...

Toxic Gas May Have Sparked Life on Earth Through Icy ‘Cobweb’ Crystals
Researchers at Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology suggest that frozen hydrogen cyanide may have helped trigger the chemistry that led to life on Earth. Their simulations show HCN forming cobweb-like ice crystals whose reactive surfaces enable unusual chemical reactions even in extreme cold. These processes could generate amino acids, nucl...

NASA Confirms Expedition 74 Will Continue ISS Work After Crew-11 Exit
NASA has confirmed that the three-member Expedition 74 crew will continue operations aboard the International Space Station following the early return of SpaceX Crew-11. U.S. astronaut Chris Williams and Russian cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev are carrying out scientific experiments and routine maintenance while awaiting the arriv...

Hypothetical ‘Dark Stars’ Could Rewrite Early Cosmic History, Research Suggests
Hypothetical dark stars could explain three early universe mysteries: the abundance of supermassive black holes, dense blue monster galaxies, and compact little red dots. Powered by dark matter rather than fusion, these stars may have formed before normal stars, collapsing to create black hole seeds and influencing early galaxy observations, accord...

Scientists Study 100 Possible Alien Signals as Arecibo’s Historic SETI Search Concludes
Scientists are studying 100 possible alien radio signals identified from Arecibo Observatory data, bringing the 21-year SETI@Home project to a close. Supported by millions of volunteers, the effort found no confirmed alien messages but set new sensitivity standards. Researchers say the findings will guide future searches using more powerful radio t...

A Massive Black Hole Starved Pablo’s Galaxy, Ending Its Star Formation
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA have uncovered how a massive black hole shut down star formation in Pablo’s Galaxy. Powerful winds expelled gas at hundreds of kilometres per second, leaving almost no cold fuel behind. The findings suggest many early galaxies did not die explosively, but were slowly starved by their centr...
