Rubin Observatory Discovers Fastest-Spinning Large Asteroid Ever Seen
Astronomers using the Vera C. Rubin Observatory have discovered asteroid 2025 MN45, the fastest-spinning large asteroid ever recorded. About 710 metres wide, the object completes one full rotation every 1.88 minutes—far quicker than any asteroid of similar size. The finding emerged from an early survey that detected nearly 2,000 new asteroids, in...

New Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Could Reveal Secrets of Distant Worlds
Astronomers have confirmed the arrival of 3I/ATLAS, only the third interstellar object ever spotted in our solar system. First seen on July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS survey team in Chile, it was quickly identified by its unusual hyperbolic orbit and comet-like tail. Larger and brighter than either 1I/ʻOumuamua or 2I/Borisov, 3I/ATLAS is estimated to b...

Smallest Galaxy Ever Found: Andromeda XXXV Defies Cosmic Evolution Models
Astronomers have discovered Andromeda XXXV, the smallest and faintest known galaxy, located 3 million light-years away. It challenges existing models of galaxy formation, as similar small galaxies were thought to be destroyed in the early universe. Researchers are studying how it retained conditions for star formation despite harsh cosmic environme...

SPHEREx Space Telescope to Map Cosmos in Infrared Light, Launching in February 2025
Set to launch in February 2025, NASA’s SPHEREx mission will provide a comprehensive map of the universe in infrared light. The telescope will examine 450 million galaxies and 100 million stars, shedding light on the universe’s formation, early conditions after the Big Bang, and the presence of water in planetary systems. SPHEREx will survey the...

Astronomers Discover A Massive Distant Spiral Galaxy from the Early Universe
Astronomers, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), have identified Zhúlóng, a massive spiral galaxy with a redshift of 5.2. This discovery places the galaxy in a time when the universe was under a billion years old, providing critical insights into early galactic formation. Zhúlóng, named after a mythical Chinese dragon, spans 62,000 lig...

Cosmic Survey Reveals Surge of Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies
A cosmic survey using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument has identified over 2,500 active black holes in dwarf galaxies, tripling previous estimates. Conducted by the University of Utah’s Ragadeepika Pucha, the research has also uncovered nearly 300 intermediate-mass black holes, quadrupling their known population. This milestone discovery ...
