On July 25, 2025, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured a rare solar eclipse from its vantage point in space. This unique phenomenon, visible only from the SDO’s position, revealed around 62% of the sun covered by the moon. The event, which lasted approximately 35 minutes, was a stunning display that provided scientists with valuable insights into solar behavior. This …

Topline Astronomers surveying the outer solar system have revealed that a rare object far beyond Neptune is moving in sync with the eighth planet in an unexpected way. Called 2020 VN40 and first discovered in 2020, it takes 1,655 Earth-years to orbit the sun. The news comes just weeks after 2023 KQ14 — nicknamed “Ammonite” — was found beyond Neptune …

Astronomers have discovered a possible new dwarf planet orbiting far beyond Pluto. First detected in March 2023 by Japan’s Subaru Telescope in Hawaii, this object has been dubbed 2023 KQ14 and nicknamed Ammonite. Ammonite’s appearance also puts a kink in what’s known as the Planet Nine hypothesis, which suggests there may be an undiscovered ninth planet in our solar system. …

In a recent study published in Communications Earth & Environment, researchers have uncovered an astonishing revelation about the Moon’s surface, challenging previous beliefs about its exosphere. While it was once thought that solar wind and meteoroid impacts were primarily responsible for the creation of the Moon’s thin exosphere, new findings suggest that the Moon’s surface features—such as its roughness and …

Astronomers have, for the first time, captured what they believe are the very first moments of rocky planet formation around a newborn star. Using advanced observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) in Chile, researchers spotted the earliest known traces of planet-building materials around the infant star HOPS-315. A Star Like Our Sun? The …

Subaru Telescope has made an exciting discovery: a small body beyond Pluto, with implications for the formation, evolution, and current structure of the outer Solar System. The object was found as part of the survey project FOSSIL (Formation of the Outer Solar System: An Icy Legacy), which takes advantage of the Subaru Telescope’s wide field of view. The object was …
