ISRO is set to launch PSLV-C62 on January 12, 2026, carrying the advanced EOS-N1 hyperspectral satellite. The mission marks a crucial return to flight after a 2025 anomaly and will strengthen India’s Earth-observation, defence surveillance and environmental monitoring capabilities.

Astronomers have identified an exceptionally hot galaxy cluster forming just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang. Observations reveal gas temperatures far exceeding theoretical limits, suggesting an unexpectedly violent early formation. The discovery challenges standard models of galaxy cluster evolution and points to intense activity from starbursts and supermassive...

Hubble has discovered Cloud 9, a starless dark-matter cloud near galaxy M94, offering scientists a rare chance to study early galaxy formation. This failed galaxy, part of a class known as RELHICs, shows hydrogen gas but no star formation, highlighting the role of dark matter in shaping the cosmos and revealing potential hidden structures in our local universe.

NASA’s Curiosity rover has shared a new panorama from high on Mount Sharp, created from images taken across two Martian days. The colour-tinted view highlights changing light conditions and ancient boxwork formations shaped by groundwater, offering fresh insight into Mars’ past and the rover’s ongoing exploration inside Gale Crater.

Hubble Telescope observations have revealed a dense gas wake in Betelgeuse’s atmosphere, confirming the presence of a hidden companion star named Siwarha. The discovery explains the red supergiant’s unusual brightness changes and offers new insight into how massive stars evolve and shed material before becoming supernovae.

NASA’s Artemis 2 mission could launch astronauts around the moon in February, marking the first human flight to lunar space since Apollo 17. The crew will test Orion’s systems on a free-return trajectory and prepare for future lunar landings, paving the way for Artemis 3 and NASA’s goal of establishing a long-term human presence on the moon.

New research suggests the universe may be asymmetric, challenging the long-accepted Lambda-CDM model and standard cosmology principles.

New research suggests dark matter may interact with neutrinos, explaining why cosmic structures today are less clumpy than expected. This subtle interaction challenges the standard Lambda Cold Dark Matter model and could guide particle physics experiments. If confirmed, it would be a fundamental breakthrough, reshaping our understanding of the universe and the evoluti...

NASA’s IXPE has made a breakthrough by measuring a white dwarf star. The findings have revealed fresh details about X-Ray emissions, formations of matter, and more within the Binary system.

Astronomers have confirmed a rare rogue planet, drifting without a star nearly 10,000 light-years away. Using gravitational microlensing, their distance and mass were measured, suggesting that free-floating planets may be abundant across the Milky Way. Upcoming telescopes, including NASA’s Roman Space Telescope and China’s Earth 2.0 mission, are expected to uncove...
