In early July 2025, astronomers announced comet 3I/ATLAS, first observed on July 1 by a Chilean telescope in NASA’s ATLAS network, is an interstellar visitor with a hyperbolic orbit. The European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) imaged the comet on July 3 with its FORS2 camera, capturing the clearest views yet. These observations confirm…
With the weekend ahead, viewers are certainly planning to update their weekend watch list. Henceforth, the OTT platforms are now ready with a new set of releases that will follow a blend of thrill, comedy, reality, action, drama, and more. From Special Ops returning with a new season, other top releases will include some of…
Astronomers have detected a weird black hole that is causing its galactic host to wobble like a top in the throes of “direct collapse” in the earliest phase of creation in the universe. The unique thing about this object is where it is located: between a pair of colliding galaxies, not in the nucleus of…
Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun, is usually known as a frozen “ice giant.” But in July 2025 astronomers announced a big surprise: Uranus is actually emitting more heat than it receives from sunlight. Decades of data and new models show Uranus emits about 12% more internal heat than it gets from the Sun….
The Parker Solar Probe has truly achieved a historic milestone in solar exploration. In July 2025, NASA released the closest-ever images of the Sun, taken just 3.8 million miles from its surface. On Dec. 24, 2024, Parker flew 3.8 million miles from the Sun’s surface, entering the outer corona. During this pass, Parker’s Wide-Field Imager…
China has launched a new resupply mission to its module and the astronauts and space station to which it is connected in orbit above the Earth, sending food, fuel, scientific gear, and updated spacesuits. The Long March 7 rocket, taking it aloft, took off from the Wenchang Satellite Launch Centre on Hainan Island at 5:34…
In a recent paper published online, researchers have reported the transverse Thomson effect’s first experimental observation. It is a key thermoelectric phenomenon that has made scientists avoid it since it was predicted almost a century ago. Physicists have observed thermoelectric effects to understand the connection between heat and electricity on the basis of the Peltier,…
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, together with data from the Hubble Space Telescope, has revealed a “baby” exoplanet rapidly losing its atmosphere. The planet, named TOI 1227 b, orbits a faint red dwarf star and is only about 8 million years old. Powerful X-ray blasts from the star are stripping away the planet’s thick gas envelope….
Delivering a fresh jolt to a field recently rocked by controversy, astrophysicists have discovered the most massive collision yet of a pair of black holes that created another black hole, an event so powerful that it shook the universe in ripples of gravitational waves. Named GW231123, the event was detected on 23 November 2023 by…
Samsung’s inaugural tri-fold smartphone is now expected to debut by the end of 2025. While earlier reports indicated that it might be called the Samsung Galaxy G Fold, a fresh leak suggests a different name for the handset. It is tipped to sport a large 9.96-inch display when fully unfolded, and it may be equipped…
