Partial Solar Eclipse of March 2025: Satellite Images to Show Moon’s Shadow
A partial solar eclipse will take place on March 29, 2025, visible across parts of Europe, Africa, and North America. The event will reach its peak in Nunavik, Canada, where 94% of the sun will be covered at sunrise. From space, weather satellites like GOES-16 and Himawari will capture images of the moon’s shadow. The International Space Station ...

Atacama Telescope Reveals Most Detailed Cosmic Microwave Background Yet
New images from the decommissioned Atacama Cosmology Telescope offer the most detailed view of the cosmic microwave background. The data reveals early cosmic structures, tracks primordial gas movement, and refines estimates of the universe’s total mass. While supporting existing models, it does not resolve the Hubble tension. Researchers are now ...

Smallest Galaxy Ever Found: Andromeda XXXV Defies Cosmic Evolution Models
Astronomers have discovered Andromeda XXXV, the smallest and faintest known galaxy, located 3 million light-years away. It challenges existing models of galaxy formation, as similar small galaxies were thought to be destroyed in the early universe. Researchers are studying how it retained conditions for star formation despite harsh cosmic environme...

Mysterious Planetary-Mass Objects May Form in Young Star System Clashes
Recent research challenges traditional views on planetary-mass objects, suggesting they may form through violent interactions between young star systems rather than standard planetary or stellar processes. Simulations indicate these clashes create dense gas filaments that evolve into free-floating objects, often in binary pairs. This discovery expl...

New Dark Matter Hypothesis Suggests Ionisation Clue in Milky Way’s Core
Researchers propose that an overlooked dark matter candidate may explain unusual ionisation levels in the Milky Way’s Central Molecular Zone (CMZ). This theory suggests that lightweight, self-annihilating dark matter particles could be producing electrons and positrons, influencing cosmic chemistry. The findings challenge conventional views, offe...

Solar Storm to Trigger Northern Lights in US: Visibility, Timing & Impact
A solar storm is expected to reach Earth tonight, potentially creating auroras visible as far south as New York and Idaho. The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) of NOAA forecasts a G1-class geomagnetic storm, with a possibility of stronger G2 conditions. This may lead to disruptions in GPS and radio signals. The best time to witness the northe...

Rare Pompeii Fresco Depicts Secret Dionysian Cult Rites and Initiations
Archaeologists in Pompeii have uncovered a rare fresco depicting the initiation rites of a Dionysian mystery cult. Found in the House of Thiasus, the painting stretches across three walls, showcasing maenads, satyrs, and ancient hunting rituals. The artwork suggests that initiates engaged in wilderness rituals, despite a Roman ban on Dionysian cere...

Rare Seven-Planet Alignment 2025: How to Watch in India, Best Viewing Tips
A rare celestial event featuring seven planets—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—aligning along the ecliptic will be visible in 2025. The alignment starts on February 28, with the best viewing in India on March 3. Venus and Jupiter will be easily visible, while Uranus and Neptune will require a telescope. Experts sugges...

Quantum Research Reveals Time May Not Always Move Forward
A new study on quantum systems suggests time might not always move forward. Researchers found that time-reversal symmetry persists in open quantum systems, challenging the traditional notion of a single directional arrow of time. The mathematical framework behind these interactions indicates that fundamental equations do not impose a distinction be...

T Tauri's Great Dimming: Astronomers Study Young Star's Potential Disappearance
The young star T Tauri, located 471 light-years from Earth, is experiencing a significant dimming event. The cause is a thick dust and gas disk blocking its light, with astronomers predicting it may disappear from view for up to a century. This event presents an opportunity for scientists to explore the chemical makeup of planet-forming regions wit...

Early Supernovas Could Have Created Water in the Universe, Paving the Way for Life 100 Million Years Post-Big Bang
A recent study suggests that supernova explosions, triggered by the death of early stars, could have created significant amounts of water just 100 million years after the Big Bang. Simulations of these early, massive stars show that their explosive deaths may have resulted in the formation of water molecules within the dense hydrogen and oxygen clo...
