Hubble Telescope Documents 10 Years of Dramatic Changes on Outer Planets
NASA’s Hubble Telescope has tracked atmospheric and seasonal changes on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune over ten years. Key findings include shifts in Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, Saturn’s seasonal phenomena, Uranus’ polar brightness, and Neptune’s storm activity. These insights, part of NASA’s Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) p...

JWST Discovers Jupiter-Mass Binary Objects in Orion Nebula, Offering New Clues
The James Webb Space Telescope has identified dozens of Jupiter-mass binary objects (JuMBOs) in the Orion Nebula. These enigmatic rogue gas giant pairs orbit each other at distances of 25 to 400 AU. Researchers propose they could be failed stars formed under extreme radiation conditions, ejected planetary systems, or a mix of both. Simulations repl...

Scientists Predict Ultramassive Black Holes Can’t Grow Beyond 100 Billion Suns
Scientists led by Dr Priyamvada Natarajan from Yale University have discovered that ultramassive black holes likely cannot exceed 100 billion solar masses. These giants regulate their own growth by emitting gas jets that heat and expel surrounding material, cutting off their gas supply. Additionally, the team is exploring intermediate-mass black ho...

Youngest Exoplanet Ever Discovered Orbiting Around a Growing Protostar 520 Light-Years Away
TIDYE-1b, a "baby" gas giant exoplanet just 3 million years old, has been discovered orbiting a protostar in the Taurus molecular cloud. The planet’s youth makes it around 1,500 times younger than Earth, offering a rare glimpse into planetary formation. However, TIDYE-1b is orbiting a star surrounded by a misaligned protoplanetary disk, which cha...

First Zoomed-in Picture of a Star Outside Our Galaxy Captured, Revealed to Be a Dying Star
The first detailed image of a star outside the Milky Way reveals WOH G64, a giant nearing its end. Captured by the Very Large Telescope Interferometer, this dying star, 1,500 times the size of the Sun, is surrounded by a cocoon of gas and dust, hinting at its eventual collapse into a supernova.

Astronomers Successfully Detect Brown Dwarfs in a Distant Star Cluster
For the first time, astronomers have detected brown dwarfs outside the Milky Way in the star cluster NGC 602, situated approximately 200,000 light-years away in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Utilising the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the team sought young brown dwarf candidates in an environment that resembles the early universe, with limited h...

What Will Happen To Our Solar System When Sun Dies? Study Explains
The study mentions the exoplanets orbiting two different white dwarf stars named WD 1202-232 and WD 2105-82 at distances of 34 and 53 light-years from Earth, respectively. They are believed to be between 1 and 7 times the mass of Jupiter.
