New Black Hole Merger Gives Clearest Test of Einstein’s Relativity
LIGO has detected GW250114, the loudest gravitational-wave signal yet, marking ten years since its first breakthrough. The event confirmed Einstein’s relativity, Hawking’s horizon theorem, and Kerr’s spinning black hole model. By capturing the merger of two 32-solar-mass black holes, scientists gained the clearest view of black hole physics, ...

"Everything Floats": Shubhanshu Shukla Shares Challenges Of Eating In Space
Shubhanshu Shukla, the first Indian to go to the International Space Station (ISS), has shared a glimpse into how astronauts eat and drink in zero gravity, saying he had to "learn to eat again".

ESA’s JUICE Probe Uses Venus Flyby to Stay on Track for Jupiter’s Icy Moons
The European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) successfully executed a Venus flyby on August 31, 2025, using the planet’s gravity to speed toward Jupiter. Engineers overcame a brief antenna glitch before the maneuver, and the spacecraft endured Venus’s intense heat by shielding itself with its high-gain antenna.

Scientists Apply Stephen Hawking's Theory to Propose Detectable ‘Black Hole Morsels’ in Space
A new study suggests “black hole morsels” — tiny, asteroid-sized black holes from cosmic mergers — could emit detectable bursts of Hawking radiation. Observatories like HESS, HAWC, and Fermi may already hold clues. Detecting them could unlock insights into quantum gravity, unknown particles, and even hidden dimensions beyond the Standard Mo...

Hubble Delivers Best View Yet of Rare Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Racing Through Solar System
Hubble has captured its sharpest image of 3I/ATLAS, a rare interstellar comet speeding through the solar system at 130,000 mph. The view reveals a dust-filled coma, a faint tail, and activity similar to native comets. Astronomers aim to study its composition before it vanishes forever, offering insight into objects formed around other stars.

"Phone Felt Heavy, Dropped Laptop": Shubhanshu Shukla On Readjusting On Earth
Weeks after returning from the Axiom-4 mission, astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla on Friday shared experiences of readjusting to life on earth like how even a mobile phone felt heavy to hold and he dropped his laptop thinking it would float like in space.

New Rogue Planet Discovered in Hubble Data Using Einstein’s Gravity Theory
Astronomers discovered a rogue planet hidden in Hubble’s archival data using gravitational microlensing based on Einstein’s theory. The event, OGLE-2023-BLG-0524, lasted just eight hours and lacked signs of a host star, suggesting the planet might be truly free-floating.
