Signs of Alien Life Detected on Nearby Exoplanet Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope
Astronomers have detected possible biosignature gases, including dimethyl sulfide (DMS), in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Located in the habitable zone, this “Hycean” world may host a vast ocean and a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, raising intriguing possibilities about alien life. Further research is ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Shares Detailed Mosaic of the Sombrero Galaxy
NASA’s Hubble reveals a detailed view of the Galactic favourite, the Sombrero Galaxy, telling about the rare shape of the galaxy. The Sombrero Galaxy is found to have metal-rich stars in its outer region. This research has a future scope of getting deeper insights into its formation by using the advanced imaging technique of Hubble.

NASA’s SPHEREx Mission Sends First Space Images Before Full Sky Survey
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope has captured its first images from space, marking a critical milestone before its full-sky infrared survey begins. The observatory, launched on March 11, recorded thousands of light sources, including distant galaxies and stars. Unlike other space telescopes, SPHEREx is designed for large-scale cosmic mapping, scanning th...

JWST Captures Unseen Details of Exoplanets in HR 8799 and 51 Eridani Systems
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured groundbreaking images of exoplanets in the HR 8799 and 51 Eridani systems. By modifying its coronagraphs, astronomers allowed more starlight to pass through, revealing clearer planetary details. The study, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, highlights the first successful detection of ...

NASA Astronaut Zena Cardman Appointed to Lead SpaceX Crew-11 Mission to ISS
NASA astronaut Zena Cardman has been selected to command SpaceX’s Crew-11 mission to the ISS. The four-member crew will include Mike Fincke from NASA, Kimiya Yui from JAXA and Oleg Platonov from Roscosmos. Cardman’s appointment follows her removal from the Crew-9 mission after reshuffling to accommodate Boeing’s Starliner crew. This will be t...

Two New Exoplanets Found Orbiting a Star in Draco Constellation
Astronomers have identified two exoplanets, TOI-1453 b and TOI-1453 c, orbiting a star 250 light-years away in Draco. The planets, a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune, were detected using NASA’s TESS satellite and the HARPS-N spectrograph. TOI-1453 b is a rocky planet orbiting close to its star, while TOI-1453 c is twice Earth’s size and may have a...

James Webb Telescope Captures Neptune’s Auroras in Stunning Detail
The James Webb Space Telescope has provided the first-ever direct images of Neptune’s auroras, revealing surprising details about the ice giant’s atmosphere. Unlike auroras on Earth, Jupiter, or Saturn, Neptune’s auroras appear across unexpected locations due to its tilted and offset magnetic field. Scientists also detected the presence of H...

NASA to Launch Three Rockets in Alaska to Study Auroral Substorms’ Impact
NASA is conducting a rocket experiment from Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska. Three rockets will launch within a three-hour window to study how auroral substorms influence the Earth's upper atmosphere. Scientists will observe whether auroras drive vertical convection or if acoustic-buoyancy waves spread their energy over a wider region. Vapour t...

New Study Challenges Claims of Vast Underground Water on Mars
Mars’ water history remains a mystery as new research questions the claim that vast amounts of water are stored beneath its surface. A study led by Bruce Jakosky argues that previous estimates of Mars’ mid-crust being saturated with liquid water may be inaccurate. The findings challenge earlier interpretations of seismic data from NASA’s InSi...
