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 »
A New World Beneath the Waves A remarkable discovery has sparked excitement in the astronomy community — a planet just 100 light-years away may be a true ocean world. Known as TOI-1452b, this distant exoplanet orbits a small, cool red dwarf star and appears to hold vast amounts of water — possibly covering the… Read More »
Astronomers have uncovered a remarkable new space rock — a fast-moving asteroid that’s been hiding dangerously close to the Sun and Earth. Named 2025 SC79, this near-Earth asteroid was recently discovered by astronomer Scott S. Sheppard from the Carnegie Institution for Science, revealing a mysterious new member of our inner solar system. —… Read More »
Scientists are keeping a close watch on a roughly 60-meter-wide space rock known as 2024 YR4, which now carries an approximate 4 % chance of colliding with the Moon on 22 December 2032. While it no longer poses a meaningful threat to Earth, the potential lunar impact has serious implications—especially for satellites, spacecraft, and the… Read More »
