NASA’s Webb Telescope Reveals Firefly Sparkle, a Milky Way-Like Galaxy
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured the Firefly Sparkle galaxy, existing 600 million years after the Big Bang. This rare discovery showcases a galaxy similar in mass to the Milky Way during its early years. Unprecedented details were revealed using gravitational lensing and infrared imaging, highlighting 10 distinct star clusters within Fir...

ISRO’s AstroSat Observes First-Ever Nuclear Explosion in Andromeda Galaxy
Using the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) aboard ISRO’s AstroSat, scientists have identified far-ultraviolet emissions from 42 novae in the Andromeda Galaxy. This marks the first detection of such emissions during their outbursts, offering new insights into the processes of stellar explosions. Four of these novae were observed in real-time a...

Mysterious Scar-Like Structure in Australia Might Have Been Caused by a Rare Tornado
A previously unknown tornado was discovered in Australia’s Nullarbor Plain by a caver using Google Earth. Researchers traced the scar, which extends over 11 kilometres, back to a November 2022 storm that brought intense winds and rainfall. The tornado, likely F2 or F3 in strength, left distinct marks on the landscape, still visible due to sparse ...

Hubble Space Telescope Captures Rare Edge-On View of a Spiral Galaxy Located Millions of Light-Years Away
NASA and ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured an edge-on view of spiral galaxy UGC 10043, located around 150 million light-years away. Displaying its prominent dust lanes and unique bulge, this galaxy image highlights regions of active star formation. Captured in 2000 and 2023, the composite image uses various light wavelengths to detail the str...

James Webb Space Telescope Finds First Evidence of Einstein Zig-Zag Phenomenon In a Distant Quasar
Data from the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed the first-ever Einstein zig-zag, where light from quasar J1721+8842 bends through two distinct warped space-time regions. Six mirrored images of the quasar and a faint Einstein ring confirm this rare lensing effect. Scientists believe this discovery could help resolve critical issues in cosmolog...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Makes Final Venus Flyby Before Historic Sun Encounter
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, launched in 2018, will make its final Venus flyby on Nov. 6. This manoeuvre will bring the spacecraft into a new orbit, allowing it to approach within 3.8 million miles of the sun, closer than any human-made object has been. While the probe’s primary mission is to study the sun, its instruments have captured rare data...
