New Study Confirms TeV Halos Are Common in Middle-Aged Pulsars
A recent study by researchers from the U.S. and Mexico using data from the HAWC Observatory has confirmed that TeV halos are a universal feature of middle-aged pulsars. These extended regions of gamma-ray emission are significantly larger than pulsar wind nebulae and may help identify otherwise undetectable pulsars. The findings challenge existing ...

Scientists Reveal Most And Least Satisfying Jobs In The World
A new study has revealed the most and the least satisfying jobs in the world. For the study, researchers studied the data from the Estonian Biobank and analysed about 59,000 people and 263 occupations.

New Study Sets Stronger Mass Limit on Ultralight Bosonic Dark Matter
A groundbreaking study has set a new lower bound on the mass of ultralight bosonic dark matter particles—2.2 × 10⁻²¹ eV. Using stellar motion data from the dwarf galaxy Leo II and advanced computational models, the team ruled out lighter masses that cannot form observed structures. This challenges the popular fuzzy dark matter theory and pav...

Astronomers Discover Teleios, A Supernova Remnant with Perfect Symmetry
A newly discovered supernova remnant named “Teleios,” meaning “perfect” in Greek, is astonishing scientists with its rare circular symmetry. Detected using data from ASKAP’s Evolutionary Map of the Universe, Teleios (G305.4–2.2) could be located 7,170 or 25,100 light years away. With a steep spectral index and low surface brightness, it...

Why The Moon's Two Sides Look So Different: Study Explains
An exhaustive examination of lunar gravity using data obtained by two NASA robotic spacecraft is offering new clues about why the two sides of the moon - the one perpetually facing Earth and the other always facing away - look so different.

New Study Reveals Recent Ice Gains in Antarctica, But Long-Term Melting Continues
A study led by researchers at Tongji University using NASA's GRACE satellites has observed recent ice gains in Antarctica from 2021 to 2023, mainly due to unusual precipitation. However, the long-term satellite data from 2002 to 2020 shows a significant and accelerating trend of ice loss. However, experts emphasize this short-term gain does not rev...

NASA’s IMAP Spacecraft Prepares to Map the Solar System’s Edge
NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) has been delivered to the Astrotech facility near Kennedy Space Center for final preparations ahead of a tentatively planned launch in fall 2025. IMAP will map the heliosphere — the solar wind-driven bubble that shields our solar system from cosmic radiation. It is to orbit near Lagrange...

28 Major US Cities Are Sinking, Including NYC and Chicago, Satellite Study Finds
A new satellite study has revealed that 28 of the most populous U.S. cities, including New York and Chicago, are sinking by up to 10 millimetres yearly. Researchers found that groundwater extraction is the key driver behind this trend, raising silent but serious threats to infrastructure, even in inland cities not typically prone to such risks.

Scientists Chase Falling Satellite to Study Atmospheric Pollution from Spacecraft Reentries
In a rare airborne mission, scientists chased ESA's Cluster Salsa satellite as it reentered Earth's atmosphere. The fiery descent revealed emissions of lithium, potassium, and aluminum—chemicals that could impact the ozone layer and climate. With satellite reentries increasing, researchers aim to improve pollution models and plan further tracking...

Can Money Buy Morality? Study Finds Wealthier People Slightly More Prosocial
A large-scale meta-analysis finds that wealthier individuals are modestly more likely to engage in prosocial behavior, such as generosity and cooperation, challenging the notion that those in lower social classes are more altruistic.

New Study Challenges Signs of Life on Exoplanet K2-18b
A bold claim of alien life on exoplanet K2-18b is now under scrutiny as a new analysis finds the data too weak to support earlier detections of dimethyl sulfide — a potential biosignature. Experts urge caution, noting that more robust, peer-reviewed evidence is needed before confirming the presence of life or habitable conditions on the planet.

NASA's New Satellite Duo Begins Tracking Mysterious Auroral Electrojets
The EZIE mission is shaping up to be a breakthrough in space weather research. Launched in March 2025, its three satellites are now orbiting Earth and collecting data on auroral electrojets, massive energy currents near the poles. Scientists believe the results could lead to better forecasting tools and stronger, safer satellite systems.

NASA Observes Rare Uranus Occultation, Unveiling New Atmospheric and Ring Details
NASA captured a rare stellar occultation of Uranus this month, providing fresh data about the ice giant’s atmosphere and rings. Scientists measured temperature changes and atmospheric composition, offering new insights since the last major occultation in 1996. The findings could help guide future exploration missions and deepen our understanding ...

Ancient Greenland Rocks Found in Iceland Sheds Light on Late Antique Ice Age
A 2025 study led by geologists Christopher Spencer, Ross Mitchell, and Thomas Gernon identifies ancient Greenland rocks embedded in Icelandic cliffs. These rocks, transported by icebergs over 1500 years ago, confirm glacial expansion during the Late Antique Little Ice Age (LALIA). The findings shed light on past climate anomalies and serve as cruci...
