Webb found benzene, methane, and the highly reactive methyl radical packed inside a dust-cloaked luminous infrared galaxy

Astronomy

Webb just captured the speed at which the most massive star clusters scrub away their birth gas — burning through their nurseries far faster than smaller clusters do

Astronomy

ESA’s Juice and NASA’s Europa Clipper just imaged both sides of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS at once — picking up unexpectedly heavy carbon emissions streaming off its surface

Astronomy

A giant galaxy from less than 2 billion years after the Big Bang turned out not to spin at all — a trait usually only seen in much older galaxies

Astronomy

Webb just rendered the clearest cosmic web map ever made — 164,000 galaxies threaded together along the invisible scaffolding holding the universe in place

Astronomy

Webb just found a rare Saturn-sized world 330 light-years away with Earth-like temperatures and a methane-rich atmosphere — TOI-199b unlike anything in our solar system

Astronomy

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

Astronomy

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

Astronomy

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

Astronomy

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

Astronomy

ESA’s Juice spacecraft just spotted unexpectedly heavy carbon emissions streaming off interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS — sharper than anything seen in native comets

Astronomy

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

Astronomy

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
