The exploration of celestial bodies and cosmic phenomena beyond Earth. This field seeks to uncover the mysteries of the universe, including the nature of stars, planets, galaxies, and the laws governing space and time.
Scientists at NYU Abu Dhabi developed an AI model that predicts solar wind speeds up to four days in advance, a breakthrough published in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series on September 8, 2025.
Astronomers detected the brightest fast radio burst ever recorded, FRB 20250316A, at 130 million light-years in the galaxy NGC 4141, using the upgraded CHIME array.
Between May 10–12, 2024, a G5 – Extreme geomagnetic ‘superstorm’ triggered a record 98% depletion of ionospheric electron density over China and the wider Northern Hemisphere, cutting off HF radio, researchers report in National Science Review
A study published recently in Nature Astronomy found that Mercury could have formed after a grazing collision between two protoplanets of similar mass, challenging older theories of a catastrophic impact with a larger body.
ESA’s Gaia mission revealed a massive stellar wave rippling outwards from the center of the Milky Way’s disc and spanning up to 65 000 light-years. The discovery could reshape how astronomers understand the forces shaping stars and gas on galactic scales.
Astronomers published detailed observations of SN 2022xlp this month, a rare intermediate luminosity type Iax supernova in the galaxy NGC 3938 about 72 million light years away.
At the EPSC-DPS2025 Joint Meeting in Helsinki, scientists reported that Mars’s north polar vortex traps air about 40°C (72°F) colder than its surroundings, creating conditions for ozone to build up in the darkness of winter.
An international team led by São Paulo State University (UNESP) researchers report that undetected asteroids sharing Venus’s orbit may one day cross Earth’s path, posing long-term impact risks.
A study published in Space Weather confirms that the Centennial Gleissberg Cycle has passed its minimum, ending a 15-year quiet phase and forecasting stronger solar cycles through mid-century.
NASA analysis confirms the Sun’s activity, which had weakened since the 1980s and reached record lows in 2008, has been rising again through the past 17 years, a reversal with wide implications for space weather, Earth’s technology, and our understanding of long-term solar behavior.
