Hubble Telescope Finds Unexpectedly Hot Accretion Disk in FU Orionis
Hubble Space Telescope’s recent observations of FU Orionis have revealed surprising new details about the star’s accretion disk. The study found that the disk’s inner edge reaches temperatures as high as 16,000K, nearly three times hotter than the Sun’s surface. This discovery challenges existing models of stellar accretion, which had predi...

YouTube Shorts’ Dream Screen AI Feature Upgraded With Video Background Generation Capability
YouTube first began testing a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature for Shorts dubbed Dream Screen in June. The feature earlier could generate AI-generated image backgrounds for the vertical short video format, but on Thursday, the company announced a new capability. Dream Screen can now generate video backgrounds alongside image backgrounds all...

Mars’ Moons Phobos and Deimos Could Be Asteroid Debris, New Study Reveals
New research proposes that Mars’ moons, Phobos and Deimos, could have originated from an asteroid torn apart by the planet’s gravity. Simulations show that this shredded asteroid could have formed a ring around Mars, eventually coalescing into the moons. The theory is being tested through the upcoming Mars Moons Exploration mission, which could...

Irminger Sea’s Crucial Role in Atlantic Ocean Current Collapse Identified
A new study highlights the vital role of the Irminger Sea in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Increasing meltwater from the Arctic is weakening this critical ocean current, which regulates global climate. The research suggests that disruptions in the Irminger Sea could cause widespread climate shifts, including cooling in the...

Asteroids, Comets, and Meteors: What Makes Each Celestial Object Unique
NASA planetary scientists explain that asteroids, comets, and meteors all orbit the Sun but differ greatly in their composition, appearance, and behaviour. These objects play unique roles in understanding the solar system’s formation and evolution.

NASA’s Curiosity Rover Concludes Sulphur Study in Gediz Vallis; Mars Journey Continues
NASA’s Curiosity rover has completed its study of Mars’ Gediz Vallis channel, capturing key images of the sulphur deposits discovered within. The rover's next mission will explore a unique geological formation called the Boxwork. Located in the foothills of Mount Sharp, Gediz Vallis is important for understanding the transition from Mars’ wet...

Hubble Telescope Reveals Milky Way Blowing Gas off LMC Galaxy in Close Encounter
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured an extraordinary phenomenon as the Milky Way galaxy exerts ram pressure on the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), stripping away most of its gas halo. The interaction, which occurs as LMC passes near the Milky Way, has led to the loss of significant mass from the dwarf galaxy. Despite this, LMC retains enough...

Hubble Telescope Captures Image of Merging Galaxies in Coma Cluster, 390 Million Light-Years Away
NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have shared an image of two galaxies, MCG+05-31-045, interacting within the Coma Cluster. Located 390 million light-years away, the pair is in the midst of a cosmic merger. As the smaller galaxy is pulled into the larger one, a new wave of star formation is expected. Over time, the galaxies will likely evolv...

Did Earth Once Freeze Completely? New Evidence Found in Colorado Rocks
Recent research in Colorado’s Pikes Peak has uncovered crucial evidence supporting the Snowball Earth hypothesis. The discovery of Tava sandstone formations suggests that Earth experienced a global ice sheet about 700 million years ago. Using advanced radiometric dating, researchers pinpointed the formation of these sandstones to between 690 and ...

Study Finds Industrial Aerosols May Cause Local Snowfall by Freezing Clouds
A new study led by the University of Tartu has shown that industrial emissions, particularly aerosol particles, can influence local snowfall by triggering ice formation in supercooled clouds. Using satellite and ground-based radar observations, researchers found that factories, including cement plants and power stations, may cause localised snow pl...
