A doctoral student opened 27-year-old Hubble data, matched 100 mystery fingerprints to niobium — an element never seen in any white dwarf — and found the best evidence yet for a Jupiter-size world born from its dead star's ashes.
New
A gas giant orbiting the white dwarf HS 0209+0832, 250 light-years away in Cetus, appears to be the first planet ever found that formed AFTER its star died — betrayed by niobium, a rare metal 1,000 times richer than in our Sun.
New
A millisecond flash from 3 billion years after the Big Bang just set the record as the farthest fast radio burst ever traced — and the tiny young galaxy Webb found at its source points the finger at a magnetar.
A new set of lunar images shows how much detail modern spacecraft can pull from a very small patch of the Moon. With a 60-foot crater, six days of patience, and remarkably precise timing, NASA turned one bright new mark into a vivid lesson in how we read another world.
A new August 2026 image of the Tarantula Nebula layers data from Chandra, Webb, and Hubble to show not just beauty, but how one of our nearest giant star nurseries leaks heat, mixes gas, and keeps building future stars.
The 12 August 2026 total solar eclipse gave Europe a rare shared moment of wonder. Now ESA’s Proba-3 mission is showing how two precisely flying satellites can stretch that magic into far longer studies of the Sun’s glowing corona.
The James Webb Space Telescope has turned WD 1856 b into a bright lesson in planetary resilience: a Jupiter-sized world, an Earth-sized white dwarf, and a transit that reveals heat, haze, and methane.
A faint new world, Beta Pictoris d, has stepped into view thanks to Webb’s clever infrared eye. The discovery turns a bright star system into a beautiful lesson in how astronomers find planets by reading light.
NASA’s July 2026 skywatching guide gives Andaman families a lovely reason to look up: dark-moon Milky Way nights, a predawn Moon-and-planets meetup, and Saturn’s rings appearing delightfully thin through a telescope.
