From Activist To Saint: How Charlie Kirk's Death Accelerated Political Hagiography?
When prominent political or cultural figures die in the US, the remembrance of their life often veers into hagiography. And thats whats been happening since the gruesome killing of conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk

Scientists Confirm Ancient Asteroid Impact Created North Sea’s Silverpit Crater 43 Million Years Ago
New research confirms the Silverpit Crater in the North Sea was formed by an asteroid impact around 43 million years ago. Using seismic imaging and rare mineral evidence, scientists proved the impact origin beyond doubt, resolving a debate that lasted two decades and placing the crater among Earth’s rare, well-preserved impact structures.

JWST Identifies Compact, Metal-Poor Star-Forming Region Tracing Back to Early Universe
Astronomers using JWST have discovered LAP2, a tiny star-forming complex magnified by Abell 2744. With extremely low metallicity and a size under 33 light years, it provides rare insight into conditions resembling the early universe, offering clues about how the first stars formed and enriched galaxies with heavier elements

Scientists Visualize New Gold Quantum Needles at Nanoscale
Scientists at the University of Tokyo have visualized gold nanoclusters in their earliest growth stage and discovered new elongated structures called gold quantum needles. These exhibit remarkable quantum properties, opening possibilities for sharper biomedical imaging and more efficient light-energy conversion in future applications.

Twisted Jet Confirms Most Extreme Binary Black Hole System in the Universe
Astronomers have confirmed that the blazar OJ 287 hosts the most extreme binary black hole system ever found. Using a global radio telescope array, they captured an ultra-sharp image showing a dramatically bent jet—evidence of two supermassive black holes locked in orbit. The system’s 12-year flare cycle and jet twists match predictions of a sm...

Starlink’s Unintended Signals Threaten Astronomical Research, Study Finds
Astronomers have raised concerns over Starlink’s unintended radio emissions interfering with space observation. A Curtin University study found emissions from SpaceX satellites impacting up to 30% of astronomical data. Experts urge updated regulations to protect radio astronomy, as current rules overlook these non-deliberate signals from satellit...

To Gatekeep Or Let Lose? Parents Face Tough Choices On AI
Parents are "very worried" about the future Artificial Intelligence holds for their children -- whether it's deepfakes, "the inability to distinguish between reality and AI," or "the thousands of possible new threats that I wasn't trained to detect".

Hubble Unveils Dark Matter Web in Stunning Abell 209 Galaxy Cluster Image
NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope has released a stunning new image of Abell 209, a massive galaxy cluster 2.8 billion light-years away in Cetus. The golden cluster houses over 100 galaxies, but beneath them lies an invisible web of hot gas and dark matter. Using gravitational lensing, Hubble reveals curved arcs of light from background galaxies,...

James Webb Telescope Spots Rare ‘Cosmic Owl’ Formed by Colliding Galaxies
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled the “Cosmic Owl,” a jaw-dropping image of two colliding ring galaxies forming a structure that resembles an owl’s face. This double-ring formation is extraordinarily rare, and the event is shedding light on galaxy evolution, black hole dynamics, and rapid star formation. Led by Ph.D. student Mi...

NASA’s Hubble and Webb Discover Bursting Star Formation in Small Magellanic Cloud
NASA’s Hubble and Webb telescopes have captured spectacular images of NGC 460 and NGC 456, two star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud. These young, open clusters are filled with massive, hot stars that trigger new star formation by carving nebulae. The findings provide insights into early universe conditions and interstellar medium behaviour...

Chile Observatory Captures Universe With 3,200-Megapixel Camera
Chile's Vera C. Rubin Observatory, which boasts the world's largest digital camera, has begun displaying its first images of the cosmos, allowing astronomers to figure out how the solar system formed and whether an asteroid poses a threat to Earth.

Vera C. Rubin Observatory Unveils First Images, Hints at Universe’s Dynamic Secrets Ahead
The Rubin Observatory’s first image captures 10 million galaxies, marking the start of a decade-long sky survey. With its powerful telescope and LSST camera, it will scan the southern sky every three nights, unveiling hidden galaxies, stellar nurseries, and transient cosmic events. Scientists anticipate transformative discoveries about dark matte...

Disney, Universal Sue Image Creator Midjourney for Copyright Infringement
Walt Disney and Comcast's Universal filed a copyright lawsuit against Midjourney on Wednesday. The suit claims Midjourney pirated the libraries of the two Hollywood studios, making and distributing without permission "innumerable" copies of characters such as Darth Vader from "Star Wars," Elsa from "Frozen," and the Minions from "Despicable Me".
