In a discovery that reshapes our understanding of how worlds are formed, astronomers have photographed a planet in the process of being born — a first in human history. The newborn gas giant, named WISPIT 2b, is seen forming inside a ring of dust surrounding a young star located 437 light-years away in the constellation… Read More »
In a remarkable leap for physics, researchers have successfully measured the shortest span of time ever recorded—just 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 247 seconds, or about 247 zeptoseconds (10⁻²¹ seconds). This ultra-brief moment marks the time it takes a photon to traverse a hydrogen molecule, allowing scientists to observe subatomic events with precision previously… Read More »
Something extraordinary is passing through our cosmic neighborhood — a true wanderer from another star. Known as 3I/ATLAS, this newly discovered interstellar comet has captured the attention of astronomers around the world. First spotted on July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS survey in Chile, the comet is only the third confirmed object to enter our… Read More »
On July 9, 2025, our planet completed a full rotation about 1.3 to 1.6 milliseconds faster than the conventional 24-hour day. This subtle yet historic event marked the shortest day ever recorded since modern atomic-clock tracking began in the 1960s. What happened? A day on Earth is typically defined as 24 hours (86,400… Read More »
In July 2025, astronomers made a landmark discovery when the sky-survey telescope network Asteroid Terrestrial‑impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) in Chile detected an unusual object dubbed 3I/ATLAS. It soon became clear this was no ordinary comet. With a hyperbolic orbit and speed far beyond what the Sun could impart, it is now recognised as only… Read More »
On the evening of October 29, 2025, skywatchers are in for a truly magical celestial display. Mercury, the smallest planet in our solar system, will reach its Greatest Eastern Elongation, appearing at its brightest in the evening sky. At the same time, a beautiful half Moon will rise, creating a perfect duo for both… Read More »
The search for life beyond Earth has just taken a historic leap forward. In a development that has sent ripples of excitement across the scientific community and the general public, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has delivered the strongest, most tantalizing hint yet that we are not alone. The focus of this extraordinary finding… Read More »
In a major leap for next-generation communications, Chinese scientists have successfully transmitted quantum information across optical fibre networks stretching over 1,000 km—and laid the groundwork for networks spanning thousands of kilometres. This isn’t science-fiction teleportation, but real progress toward an unhackable quantum internet. What was achieved Teams led by University of Science and… Read More »
The United States has set its sights on a bold new frontier — building a nuclear reactor on the Moon by the year 2030. This ambitious plan, led by NASA and supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, could change how humans explore space and live on other worlds. A Giant Step for Lunar… Read More »
When Elon Musk recently laid out his vision for the next generation of travel using his company SpaceX’s rocket system Starship, the boldness of the proposal caught global attention: a flight from Los Angeles to Sydney in under 30 minutes. Currently, a commercial jet covers that same route in approximately 15 hours. Musk envisions… Read More »
