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 ...

NASA Slightly Raises Odds of Asteroid Hitting the Moon in 2032 After Updated JWST Data
NASA has revised the 2032 impact odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting the Moon to 4.3%, up from 3.8%, based on new data from the James Webb Space Telescope. Though once feared for its high Earth impact risk, scientists now say it poses no threat and offers critical insights for future planetary defense strategies.

Discovery Of Small Star Giving Birth To Huge Planet Leaves Scientists Puzzled
TOI-6894 is roughly 240 light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo and is the smallest-known star to host a large planet.

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...

Milky Way To Collide With Its Largest Neighbour Andromeda? What New Study Said
Earlier, scientists believed the collision may destroy both galaxies, merging them into an elongated one.

Webb Telescope Uncovers Hidden Active Galactic Nuclei
The cosmic mystery of how quasars and Little Red Dots relate may soon be solved, thanks to new research using the James Webb Space Telescope. A study published on May 7, 2025, in arXiv reveals a population of dust-obscured supermassive black holes in the early universe.

Scientists Capture Plasma Streams, Coronal Raindrops in Sharpest-Ever View of Sun’s Corona
For the first time, scientists have captured ultra-detailed footage of the sun’s outer atmosphere, showing coronal rain and a never-before-seen plasma stream. These new images were made possible by adaptive optics that cut through Earth’s atmospheric interference, revealing structures never observed before. The findings could unlock solar myste...

3 'City-Killer' Asteroids Could Strike Earth In Weeks, Say Scientists
The study highlights the threat posed by three space rocks-named 2020 SB, 524522, and 2002 CL1-which currently share an orbit with Venus.

New Analysis Weakens Claims of Life on Distant Exoplanet K2-18b
A new study led by University of Chicago researchers has reanalyzed James Webb Space Telescope data and found weaker evidence for potential biosignatures on exoplanet K2-18b. Earlier reports had suggested the presence of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), a chemical associated with marine life on Earth. However, the latest analysis reveals that the signals ar...

India's Astronauts Vs Pakistan's Terrorists: A Tale of Two National Visions
While India trains scientists and astronauts to explore the cosmos, state-sponsored terror operates undeterred in Pakistan, Dr VK Saraswat, former DRDO chief said.

Scientists Warn of Inadequate Solar Storm Forecasting: What You Need to Know
Scientists warn that Earth remains exposed to solar storms due to missing early data on its magnetic fields. Current satellites offer just minutes of warning, limiting our ability to protect power grids, satellites, and GPS systems. Without broader solar observation from multiple angles, a major storm could cause catastrophic disruptions, emphasisi...
