NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has achieved a solar milestone by capturing the closest-ever images of the Sun, taken just 3.8 million miles from its surface in December 2024. These WISPR images reveal unprecedented details of the corona, solar wind, and CME collisions. Scientists say this breakthrough will improve our ability to forecast space weather and understand the Sun’s magnetic structure. The probe’s findings confirm theories about slow solar wind origins and the dynamics of solar eruptions—critical knowledge for protecting satellites, astronauts, and power grids from solar storms.

Using JWST, astronomers discovered a black hole between two galaxy cores in the Infinity Galaxy—possibly the first direct evidence of a black hole formed by gas collapse, not stellar death. This rare “heavy seed” black hole challenges standard models and could help explain how supermassive black holes appeared so soon after the Big Bang.

The European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope has captured the clearest images so far of comet 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar visitor first spotted on July 1, 2025. Identified by its hyperbolic orbit, the comet is only the third interstellar object recorded passing through our solar system. The VLT’s deep image and timelapse confirm it is active, with a visible coma. Astronomers will lose sight of it during its October approach, but plan to resume observations in December. Researchers hope to unlock clues about its origin and how it compares to previous interstellar comets.

Kaliyugam, directed by Pramod Sundar, is set in 2064, in an apocalyptic world. Society is divided economically, socially, and physically, and the world is divided into two classes: the elite and people with low incomes. When Sketch finds a hidden safe house outside the wall of the elite class with all the comforts, what happens next is worth watching. The movie stars Shraddha Srinath as the lead protagonist.
