New Study Uses AI to Reveal Dry Origins of Mars’ Mysterious Slope Streaks
A new study by researchers at Brown University and the University of Bern used machine learning to analyze 86,000 high-resolution images of Mars. Their findings suggest that recurring slope lineae (RSLs)—dark streaks once thought to indicate liquid water—are actually caused by dry processes like wind and dust movement. With over 500,000 feature...

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...

NASA’s SPHEREx Telescope Begins 3D Infrared Mapping of the Universe
NASA’s SPHEREx space telescope has officially begun its two-year mission to map the entire sky in infrared light, capturing 3,600 images per day and covering 102 different wavelengths. The observatory aims to chart hundreds of millions of galaxies in 3D and uncover clues about the universe’s earliest moments. It will also trace the presence of ...

NASA’s New Space Telescope Starts Mapping to Reveal Universe’s Deep Mysteries
NASA’s SPHEREx space telescope has begun its mission to scan the entire sky in 102 infrared wavelengths, capturing 3,600 images daily. Over the next two years, it will create a 3D map of hundreds of millions of galaxies, explore cosmic inflation, and search for life-forming ingredients in the Milky Way—unlocking new insights into the universe...

The Universe’s Brightest Lights Have Surprisingly Dark and Mysterious Origins
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has revealed that some of the universe’s brightest light sources originate near supermassive black holes in galaxy centres. These active galactic nuclei emit intense radiation, including gamma rays and X-rays, despite black holes themselves being invisible. Their powerful jets and high-energy emissions cha...

NASA’s SPHEREx Mission Sends First Space Images Before Full Sky Survey
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope has captured its first images from space, marking a critical milestone before its full-sky infrared survey begins. The observatory, launched on March 11, recorded thousands of light sources, including distant galaxies and stars. Unlike other space telescopes, SPHEREx is designed for large-scale cosmic mapping, scanning th...
