Mars Orbiter Tracks Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS With Unprecedented Precision
Scientists mapped the path of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS with ten times greater accuracy using images from ESA’s Mars orbiter. The breakthrough shows how observations from different points in space can improve future planetary defense. The data, the first of its kind from another planet’s orbit, offers a powerful new tool for tracking fast-mov...

Extreme Star Factory: ALMA Detects Galaxy Y1 Forming Stars 180 Times Faster Than the Milky Way
Using ALMA’s ultra-sensitive Band 9 observations, astronomers identified galaxy Y1 as an extreme star-forming system in the early universe. Producing stars at 180 solar masses per year, Y1 reveals how intense, short-lived starbursts helped shape young galaxies and may have been more common than previously believed.

Supernova’s First Moments Show Olive-Shaped Blast in Groundbreaking Observations
Astronomers captured the first moments of a nearby supernova, revealing an asymmetric, olive-shaped blast. In massive stars, core collapse after fuel exhaustion creates a shock wave. Early observations of future supernova surveys will be able to sample diversity in stellar explosions as well as the properties of broad breaks due to asymmetric sho...

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 ...
