A strange glow spotted on Saturn’s surface has triggered a wave of excitement and confusion within the astronomy community. On July 5, 2025, amateur astronomer and NASA employee Mario Rana captured footage that appears to show a mysterious object crashing into the gas giant. If confirmed, this would be the first-ever recorded impact event on…
Astronomers have identified a mysterious new object hurtling through our solar system, believed to have originated from interstellar space. First spotted on July 2, 2025, by the ATLAS survey telescope in Chile, the object — now officially named 3I/Atlas (C/2025 N1) — marks only the third known interstellar visitor after ‘Oumuamua in 2017 and comet…
NASA is taking to the skies to solve a silent mystery that threatens global communications. In a groundbreaking effort, the agency is launching uncrewed rockets from the remote Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands as part of its Sporadic-E ElectroDynamics (SEED) mission. The goal is to investigate Sporadic-E layers of strange, cloud-like ionized structures in…
A striking black iceberg has been spotted off the coast of Labrador, Canada, and scientists and social media users alike are shocked and intrigued. The bizarre image was first captured on camera by Hallur Antoniussen, a fisherman working aboard his shrimp trawler Saputi off Carbonear. While navigating icy waters last month, Antoniussen encountered an iceberg…
NASA’s GOLD mission has made a discovery that is changing how scientists understand Earth’s upper atmosphere. For the first time ever, GOLD has seen X-shaped patterns in the ionosphere—a layer of charged particles that stretches from about 50 to 400 miles above Earth’s surface. These X-shaped structures were found during calm space weather, which is…
Chinese officials have unveiled the first image of their highly secretive Tianwen 2 spacecraft just two weeks after its launch. The spacecraft is on a mission to collect samples from a quasi-moon, marking a significant step in China’s space exploration efforts. Interestingly, Tianwen 2 bears striking similarities to a current NASA spacecraft, raising curiosity about…
A stunning archaeological discovery in Spain is rewriting the story of ancient metalworking. Hidden within the famed Treasure of Villena, researchers have discovered two iron artifacts crafted from a substance meteoritic iron that does not belong to the Earth. It is a rare metal that arrived on Earth via falling space rocks. The treasure which…
Visualise a heartbeat deep down under the Earth; soft, periodic, and undetectable to the human eye. Every 26 seconds, a faint seismic pulse emanates from deep within the Earth’s crust. It does not level cities or lead to harm, but these vibrations continue unabated, exciting seismologists and geophysicists around the world.The Earth’s 26-second pulse may…
Teleios (Image source: Earth.com) Scientists are puzzled by the discovery of a perfectly spherical object floating in the Milky Way, which emits only radio signals. Named Teleios, this strange structure does not give off visible light, infrared glow, or detectable X-rays, only faint radio emissions. The discovery defies simple explanations and raises questions about how…
Astronomers in Australia have detected a mysterious cosmic object, named ASKAP J1832-0911, that sends out bursts of radio and X-ray signals every 44 minutes, an occurrence unlike anything previously observed. The discovery was made using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) and NASA’s powerful Chandra X-ray Observatory. The signals last for about two minutes…
