JWST Detects Thick Atmosphere on Ultra-Hot Rocky Exoplanet TOI-561 b
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered compelling evidence of a thick atmosphere surrounding TOI-561 b, an ultra-hot rocky exoplanet orbiting its star every 11 hours. Despite extreme radiation and molten surface conditions, the planet appears cooler than expected, suggesting heat-redistributing atmospheric winds and volati...

New Tick Disease In US Dogs Could Pose Future Risk To Humans, Experts Warn
Scientists in the US have discovered a new tick-borne bacterium, Rickettsia finnyi, after several infected dogs fell severely ill and some died.

Astronomers Uncover the Vast Greater Pleiades Complex with 3,000 Hidden Stars
Astronomers analyzing Gaia and TESS data have discovered that the famed Pleiades is only the bright center of a much larger stellar complex containing over 3,000 stars. Spanning 2,000 light-years, this vast family reveals how young clusters form, travel, and disperse across the galaxy.

Nearby Super-Earth GJ 251 c Could Help Learn About Worlds That Once Supported Life, Astronomers Say
Astronomers discovered GJ 251 c, a super-Earth 20 light-years away. Its location in the habitable zone and rocky composition make it a top candidate for future searches for life beyond our solar system. The team, led by Suvrath Mahadevan and Corey Beard, said this discovery provides a clock for one of the best candidates to search for life's atmo...

James Webb Telescope May Have Spotted First Generation of Stars in the Universe
Astronomers using JWST may have discovered Population III stars in cluster LAP1-B, offering new insights into early galaxy formation and the universe’s first luminous objects. JWST observations suggest Population III stars may have formed 13 billion years ago, helping trace early galaxies. These stars might be building blocks for larger galaxies ...

Astronomers Spot Rapidly Growing Rogue Planet Feeding on Surrounding Gas
Astronomers have discovered that Cha 1107-7626, a rogue planet 620 light-years away, is now the fastest-growing planet ever observed. The massive world consumes six billion tonnes of gas per second, a rate never before recorded. The findings suggest rogue planets can grow in star-like ways, reshaping how scientists view free-floating planetary obje...

JWST Identifies Compact, Metal-Poor Star-Forming Region Tracing Back to Early Universe
Astronomers using JWST have discovered LAP2, a tiny star-forming complex magnified by Abell 2744. With extremely low metallicity and a size under 33 light years, it provides rare insight into conditions resembling the early universe, offering clues about how the first stars formed and enriched galaxies with heavier elements

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.

Could a Planet Exist Without a Host Star? Astronomers Say Rogue Worlds May Roam Freely
Astronomers have discovered that planets can survive without stars, drifting as rogue or hypervelocity worlds. Some are flung into space by black holes, while others are displaced by gas giants. On some of these rogue worlds, the idea goes, there might be oceans beneath icy crusts, where life, at least life at a microbe level, could exist.

Astronomers Discover Stellar Graveyard Filled With Black Hole and Neutron Star Collisions
Astronomers using LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detected 128 collisions of black holes and neutron stars, including two rare mixed mergers that double previous records. These findings reveal new details of stellar evolution, refine Hubble constant estimates, and test Einstein’s relativity in extreme conditions. The cosmic “graveyard” offers fresh insight ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Spots Rare Quintet of Galaxies From the Early Universe
Astronomers using JWST and Hubble have discovered JWST’s Quintet, a system of at least five merging galaxies just 800 million years after the Big Bang. This rare find shows how galaxies grew rapidly in the early universe and may explain how some became inactive so soon.

Astronomers Discover Calvera, a Runaway Pulsar Racing Above the Milky Way
Astronomers have discovered Calvera, a pulsar speeding 6,500 light-years above the Milky Way’s disk. Formed from a supernova in a nearly empty region, Calvera challenges long-held ideas of star birth and death. Its discovery reveals that extreme stellar events can occur even in the galaxy’s sparse outer halo.
