NASA’s Webb just clocked a giant planet 700 light-years out with rock-mineral clouds that form every morning and vanish by night — the first daily weather cycle on a hot Jupiter

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS just turned out to carry 40 times more heavy water than Earth’s oceans — chemistry impossible to make inside our solar system

A CME from the Sun delivered a glancing blow to Earth’s magnetic field this weekend — Kp 4 readings, just below the threshold of a minor geomagnetic storm

Webb just clocked the speed at which the most massive star clusters clear the gas clouds that build them — far faster than smaller clusters, rewriting how stars are born

Astronomers just found 10,000 candidate exoplanets hiding in old NASA TESS data — buried signals an AI sifter pulled out faster than any human survey could

NASA’s James Webb just caught a planet 700 light-years away where rock-mineral clouds form every morning and vanish by night — the first daily weather cycle ever logged on a hot Jupiter

NASA’s Fermi telescope just caught what may be the first gamma-ray signal from a superluminous supernova — one of the most extreme blasts in the known universe

The sun’s recent bursts are quietly pulling space junk back to Earth faster — researchers say reentry speeds jump once solar activity hits 67% of its peak

Moons orbiting rogue planets wandering the galaxy could stay warm enough for life — tidal heating and hydrogen skies doing the work of a sun

A blue ‘micromoon’ rises tonight as the second full moon of May — and it’s the smallest, most distant full moon of the year

The sun’s acoustic heartbeat just revealed a hidden shift in the 11-year cycle — magnetic activity now squeezed into a thin skin just beneath the solar surface

Astronomy

The James Webb telescope just spotted a Saturn-sized planet 700 light-years away with an Earth-like temperature and an atmosphere packed with methane

A coronal mass ejection from the sun’s backside is about to glance Earth tonight — aurora hunters watching for northern lights to slip into the northern states

Astronomy

The James Webb telescope just solved a decades-old Saturn mystery — the planet’s ‘rotation rate’ was never actually coming from the planet at all

A coronal hole high-speed stream is pushing the northern lights down to the U.S. border tonight — forecasters watching for a G2 storm surprise across the northern tier

Astronomy

The Webb telescope just found a black hole already feeding 570 million years after the Big Bang — forcing astronomers to rewrite how galaxies first light up

A plasma simulation just cracked how the cosmic web stitches itself together — magnetic threads knitting across the largest structures in the universe

Astronomy

The GOES-19 spacecraft just caught a coronal mass ejection from a sunspot hidden on the sun’s far side — region AR4455 now rotating into Earth’s line of fire
