Comet 3I/Atlas continues to be full of surprises. As well as being only the third interstellar object ever detected, new analysis shows it is producing hydroxyl (OH) emissions, with these compounds betraying the presence of water on its surface. This discovery was made by a team of researchers at Auburn University in Alabama using NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, and …

The Blackhawks earned their first win of the season Monday, beating the Mammoth 3-1, despite putting forth their sloppiest and least emotional effort so far. Sometimes in hockey, that’s the way it goes. And after feeling robbed of positive results in the last two games, perhaps it represented cosmic justice for the Hawks. “Today, even though we maybe didn’t have …

IN A NUTSHELL 🌌 Physicists propose the universe may eventually collapse under its own gravity due to evolving dark energy. 🔍 A new model suggests a finite lifespan of 33.3 billion years, with less than 20 billion years remaining. 🪐 The study highlights a negative cosmological constant (λ) that could reverse the universe’s expansion. 🔬 The role of axions is …

The Raging Baboon Nebula, as captured by astrophotographer Greg Meyer in 2025. (Image credit: Greg Meyer) Astrophotographer Greg Meyer has captured a star-studded nebula scene that conjures the image of a colossal baboon raging in the depths of space. The outline of the cosmic simian’s mouth and face are sculpted from a colossal cloud of molecular dust located some 500 …

Australia’s SpIRIT nanosatellite has snapped its first “selfie” from space, marking a successful start to its mission. SpIRIT — formally known as the Space Industry Responsive Intelligent Thermal nanosatellite — is the first space telescope funded by the Australian Space Agency to carry a foreign space agency’s scientific instrument as its main payload. Launched in December 2023 aboard a SpaceX …

Star clusters are among the many objects observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. These gravitationally bound groups of stars often form from the same molecular cloud and come in various types. These clusters help astronomers study stellar evolution, star formation environments and the interplay between stars and interstellar gas and dust. Recently, the Hubble Space Telescope caught one of these …

Unsurprisingly, fans were quick to datamine the whole thing for roster secrets. As it turns out, the last two characters are hidden in the files. We’ll be going over this more beyond …

Black holes are often seen as cosmic monsters that swallow anything unlucky enough to stray too close. But new research suggests they do not always win — some stars can skim the Milky Way‘s central black hole, Sagittarius A*; lose mass; and stagger away. Scarred but alive, these survivors shine brighter than before, leaving clues that astronomers are only now …
