Deep within the cosmic void, astronomers have uncovered an extraordinary phenomenon that challenges our understanding of stellar physics. A celestial enigma designated ASKAP J1832-0911 transmits radio waves and X-ray bursts toward our planet with clockwork precision. This remarkable discovery emerges from observations conducted 16,000 light-years from Earth, revealing patterns that defy conventional astronomical models. Discovery of the enigmatic radio source The Australian …

Scientists have found that we may have been wrong about how the Moon’s largest crater, the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin, formed roughly 4.3 billion years ago. As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Nature, the more than 1,200-mile crater appears to have been the result of a glancing, southward blow — and not a head-on asteroid impact, …

This week’s science news was bursting with mind-blowing astronomical observations, led by new discoveries about the origins of the comet 3I/ATLAS. The comet, an interstellar interloper from far beyond our solar system, was first spotted in late June. Now, scientists are finally closing in on its age and where it came from. They discovered it likely originated in the far …

Water may seem boring, but it’s way weirder than it looks. Scientists in Japan have now shown that when confined to tight spaces, water molecules can behave like both a solid and a liquid simultaneously. The differences between liquid water and ice that we experience at the macro scale start at the micro. In ice, molecules are locked into rigid …

Satellites detected a strange gravity signal off the coast of Africa nearly 20 years ago, suggesting something unusual had happened deep within the planet to distort its gravitational field, according to a recent study. The large gravitational anomaly lasted for about two years over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. It peaked in January 2007, the same month Steve Jobs announced the …

Nintendo has released a surprise new short film called ‘Close To You‘ and it’s… not what we expected from the House of Mario. Initially shared on the Nintendo Today! app before cropping up on YouTube and socials, the short follows a baby that learns to take its first steps via the magic of a sentient dummy (or pacifier, if you’d …

We’ve obviously all well aware of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass price hike that’s rolling out in most regions right now, but certain members are potentially not being affected by it – primarily in Europe, it seems. Today, lots of people have been sharing an apparent new email from Xbox that claims the increases “will only …

Astronomers are marveling at a distant galaxy surrounded by two giant, intersecting rings of radio light in space, each about 300,000 light-years wide. The discovery, made by volunteers in the RAD@home Astronomy Collaboratory citizen-science program in Mumbai, is what’s known as — and we’re not kidding — an “Odd Radio Circle.” The rings both sit within an even bigger radio …
