James Webb Space Telescope Finds Unexpected Ultraviolet Radiation Around Young Protostars
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected unexpected ultraviolet radiation around five young protostars in the Ophiuchus molecular cloud. Since infant stars are not expected to emit UV light, the finding challenges long-standing star-formation models. Researchers ruled out external illumination from nearby stars, concluding the...

Sun Unleashes Strongest Flare of 2025, Causing Global Radio Blackouts
On Nov. 11, 2025, the Sun erupted with an X5.1-class flare, disrupting shortwave communications across Africa and Europe. The flare’s X-rays and UV radiation ionized Earth’s upper atmosphere, causing R3-level radio blackouts. NOAA warned that a coronal mass ejection could reach Earth on Nov. 12, potentially triggering strong geomagnetic storms ...

Algae-Grown Bioplastic Passes Mars Pressure Test, Boosting Hopes for Red Planet Habitats
Scientists have successfully grown algae in bioplastic chambers under Mars-like conditions, marking a step toward sustainable habitats for astronauts. The chambers, made from polylactic acid, supported photosynthesis and stabilized liquid water. This breakthrough suggests self-replicating biomaterials could reduce Earth-based resupply, advancing lo...

James Webb Telescope Spots Planet Formation in Harshest Known Galactic Environments
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed that planets can form in extreme radiation zones. A protoplanetary disk called XUE 1, exposed to intense ultraviolet light, still shows signs of water and potential for rocky planet formation. The findings challenge old assumptions and broaden the possible regions where Earth-like planets may emerge.

ISRO Reschedules SSLV-D3 Satellite Launch to August 16
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced a new launch date for its SSLV-D3 mission. The launch, which was initially scheduled for August 15, 2024, has been rescheduled to August 16, 2024. This delay applies to the EOS-08 satellite, which will be launched aboard the third and final developmental flight of the Small Satellite Launc...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Shares Image of Celestial Cloudscape in Orion Nebula
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a region of colourful dust and gas clouds encircling an HH 505 or a Herbig-Haro object in the Orion Nebula. Herbig-Haro objects, which are bright regions surrounding young stars, are created when stellar winds or jets of gas emitted by these stars collide violently with neighbouring gas and dust.

Scientists Discover Year-Round Ozone Hole Over Tropics, May Lead to Increased Ground-Level UV Radiation
Scientists have discovered an ozone hole in the earth’s lower stratosphere that is comparable in depth — but seven times larger — to the springtime Antarctic ozone hole. The large, all-season ozone hole has been detected over the tropics, which make up half of the Earth's surface area and are home to about half the planet’s population. The ...
