First Real-Time Evidence of Volcanic Activity on Venus
For decades, Venus has stood as one of the greatest enigmas of our Solar System. Shrouded in a thick, toxic veil of sulfuric acid clouds, it has often been described as Earth’s “evil twin.” With surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead, crushing atmospheric pressure 90 times greater than Earth’s, and skies forever hidden behind stormy clouds, Venus feels more like a furnace than a planet. Yet despite its hellish reputation, one scientific question has lingered longer than most: is Venus still geologically alive?

Phosphorus Molecules Found in a Stellar Nursery: A Clue to the Origins of Life
When astronomers talk about the building blocks of life, we often hear about carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. These elements dominate both living organisms and the cosmos. But there is another, less talked-about ingredient that is just as crucial: phosphorus. Without it, our DNA would collapse, our cells would lose their energy currency, and life as we know it would not exist.

Oxygen in the Atmosphere of Exoplanet K2-18b: A Possible Glimpse of Alien Life
Astronomy never ceases to surprise us. Recently, researchers confirmed the presence of molecular oxygen in the atmosphere of a distant world: the exoplanet K2-18b. This discovery is more than just a scientific milestone—it raises profound questions about whether life, in some form, could exist far beyond our solar system.

The Star That Spins Almost at the Speed of Light
Astronomy never ceases to amaze us. Just when we think we’ve reached the limits of what the universe can throw at us, a new discovery bends our imagination. This time, scientists have detected a neutron star — specifically, a pulsar — spinning so fast that its surface is moving at a speed brushing against the ultimate cosmic speed limit: the speed of light itself.

A Potentially Habitable Exoplanet Around the Red Dwarf LHS 475c
The search for life beyond Earth has taken an exciting leap forward. For decades, astronomers have scanned the skies for rocky planets orbiting distant stars, hoping to find one with the right conditions to host life. Now, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has delivered a groundbreaking discovery: a rocky exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf LHS 475, known as LHS 475c, shows signs of an atmosphere containing carbon dioxide and clouds. This finding not only reshapes our expectations of red dwarf planets but also adds a compelling candidate to the list of potentially habitable worlds.

The First Map of Low-Frequency Gravitational Waves: Listening to the Universe’s Deepest Echoes
Astronomy has always been about looking deeper into space, but today, scientists are learning to listen as well. The cosmos does not only shine; it hums, vibrates, and resonates with invisible waves. And in 2025, for the first time, astronomers have created a map of low-frequency gravitational waves—a faint but persistent background signal produced by the slow, titanic mergers of supermassive black holes across the Universe.

Cold Water Molecules Found for the First Time in a Protoplanetary Disk
When astronomers search for water in space, they usually expect to find it close to stars, where it exists as hot vapor, or locked away as ice on distant comets and asteroids. But a groundbreaking discovery has changed that view: for the first time, scientists have detected “cold” water molecules in the outer regions of a protoplanetary disk — exactly where icy worlds may be forming.

The Tasmanian Tiger’s DNA Reveals a Hidden Extinction Story
The thylacine, often called the Tasmanian tiger because of its striped back, was a unique carnivorous marsupial. It looked like a dog with a pouch and once roamed across Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea. Sadly, the species was declared extinct in 1936, when the last known thylacine died in Hobart Zoo.

A Dinosaur with Sail Discovered on Isle of wight
A Striking New Find Imagine walking along the Isle of Wight’s beaches in southern England and stumbling upon fossils from a creature that lived 125 million years ago. That’s exactly what happened with the discovery of Istiorachis macarthurae, a new species of dinosaur. What makes this herbivore special is a sail-like structure running along its back and tail a feature that has sparked excitement and debate among paleontologists. This dinosaur belongs to the iguanodontians, a group of plant-eating dinosaurs closely related to the well-known Iguanodon. Unlike most of its relatives, however, Istiorachis stands out with its exaggerated neural spines that formed the “sail.”

How Electric Discharges Form in the Atmospheres of Other Planets
When we hear the word lightning, we usually picture a blinding flash slicing through a stormy sky, followed by a deafening roll of thunder. On Earth, lightning is a familiar natural spectacle. But beyond our planet, electric discharges can be far stranger, far more powerful, and, in some cases, even dangerous.
