Scientists Trace Universe’s Missing Ordinary Matter Using FRBs and X-rays
New astronomical breakthroughs have identified where the universe’s “missing” ordinary matter resides. Using 70 FRBs, including one from 9 billion light-years away, scientists discovered that 76% of ordinary matter exists between galaxies. A separate X-ray study observed an enormous hot gas filament connecting galaxy clusters.

Hubble Observations Give Forgotten Globular Cluster Its Moment to Shine
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled ESO 591-12, a long-overlooked globular cluster glittering with multicolored stars. Captured during a survey of missing clusters, this image provides new insight into stellar evolution and the early Milky Way. It marks a vital step in resolving the structure and origin of ancient star systems hidden withi...

Astronomers Capture First-Ever Image of a Dead Star That Exploded Twice in Rare Supernova Event
Astronomers have captured the first-ever image of a white dwarf star undergoing a rare double-detonation supernova. Using the Very Large Telescope, the team revealed that such explosions can occur without a star reaching the Chandrasekhar limit. The findings, published in Nature Astronomy, could reshape existing theories about stellar death and imp...

Fast Radio Bursts Reveal Universe’s Missing Matter Hidden in Cosmic Intergalactic Fog
Astronomers have uncovered the universe’s missing baryonic matter using rapid radio bursts. The study, published in Nature Astronomy, shows that most ordinary matter lies between galaxies, hidden in faint intergalactic clouds. This breakthrough highlights FRBs as powerful tools to probe cosmic structures, paving the way for discoveries in large-s...

ASKAP Telescope Discovers 15 Massive Giant Radio Galaxies, Largest Objects in the Known Universe
Astronomers using the ASKAP telescope have discovered 15 Giant Radio Galaxies, including one stretching 12.4 million light-years. These vast structures offer new clues about black hole life cycles and jet activity. The unprecedented detail of ASKAP’s deep-sky imaging reveals both ancient and recent radio lobes, opening a new chapter in understand...

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...

Canadian Astrophotographer Captures Stunning Sunflower Galaxy from Ontario
Astrophotographer Ronald Brecher has captured a magnificent image of Messier 63, famously known as the Sunflower Galaxy, from his backyard observatory in Guelph, Ontario. With over 13 hours of exposures taken using a Celestron 14" EDGE HD telescope and advanced imaging filters, the spiral galaxy’s fragmented arms and bright core are revealed in s...

Hubble Captures Stunning Image of Peculiar Spiral Galaxy Arp 184 in Camelopardalis
Arp 184, also known as NGC 1961, is a stunning yet asymmetrical spiral galaxy captured by NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Located about 190 million light-years away in the Camelopardalis constellation, it features a single, starry spiral arm and a rich history of supernovae. Included in Halton Arp’s Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, Arp 184 stands...

New Study Finds Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall Bigger and Nearer Than Thought
GRBs uncover a more massive and closer Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall, reshaping cosmic scale theories.Astronomers have found that the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall—the largest known structure in the universe—is even larger and closer than previously thought. Spanning 10 billion light-years, this immense cluster of galaxies was t...
