A Neptune-Like Exoplanet Is Racing Through Space at Record Speed
Scientists have detected an exoplanet racing through space at 1.2 million mph, making it the fastest known planet. The Neptune-sized world orbits a hypervelocity star, first hinted at in 2011 via gravitational microlensing. Astronomers, using Keck Observatory and Gaia data, have confirmed the system’s extreme speed, suggesting it may even leave t...

A Star With a Planet May Be Racing Through the Galaxy at Record Speed
Astronomers have identified a potential record-breaking exoplanet system moving at 1.2 million mph. Detected through microlensing, the discovery suggests a low-mass star with an orbiting planet is racing through the Milky Way. Data from the Keck Observatory and ESA’s Gaia satellite indicate a high-speed celestial body that may eventually escape t...

Researchers Spot Unusual, Overmassive Globular Clusters in Ultra-Diffuse Galaxy FCC 224
A new study has uncovered an unexpected globular cluster system in FCC 224, an ultra-diffuse galaxy located in the Fornax cluster. Using data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck Cosmic Web Imager, researchers found that FCC 224 hosts luminous, overmassive globular clusters with unusual properties. The galaxy’s star clusters exhibit narro...

Vera C. Rubin Observatory to Detect Millions of Exploding Stars
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, set to begin its 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) later this year, will track millions of Type Ia supernovae to advance our understanding of dark energy. These supernovae, resulting from white dwarf stars in binary systems, will be studied in detail to provide crucial data on the universe’s acceleratin...

Trillions of Comets Found in 74 Alien Star Systems, Unveiling Exocomets and Planetary Belts
A discovery of trillions of comets in 74 star systems has opened new doors for understanding the role of exocomets in planetary water sources. The planetesimal belts, detected using ALMA and SMA telescopes, offer crucial insights into the evolution of planetary systems and the potential for life-supporting water on distant planets. This research pa...

Hubble Telescope Observes Young Stars HOPS 150 and HOPS 153 in Orion Nebula
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured images of two young stars, HOPS 150 and HOPS 153, in the Orion Nebula, which is located about 1,300 light-years from Earth. The binary system HOPS 150 glows in bright golden red, while HOPS 153 emits a colorful jet. These stars are still in their early stages of development, feeding from their surrounding dus...

Webb Telescope Tracks Formation and Expansion of Carbon-Rich Dust Shells in Star System
As per the latest report by NASA, the system consists of two stars in an elongated orbit. When these stars come closest, their stellar winds collide, compressing material and forming carbon-rich dust. As reported in an official press release by NASA, Emma Lieb, a doctoral student at the University of Denver and the study's lead author, noted that t...

NASA’s Hubble Observes Rare Blue Lurker Star with Unusual Evolution in M67 Cluster
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has identified a rare stellar phenomenon called the “blue lurker” in the M67 star cluster. Located 2,800 light-years away, this star is part of a triple-star system and has an unusual evolutionary history. The blue lurker’s accelerated spin, taking just four days, contrasts with the typical rotation of Sun-like...

Supermassive Black Hole Flashed Twice in a Rare Event, Scientists Explain the Reason
In a galaxy 408 million light-years away, the black hole ASASSN-22ci consumed a star from a binary system, producing a rare double-flash tidal disruption event (TDE). First observed in February 2022, a second flare occurred 720 days later, possibly caused by Hills capture. Researchers anticipate a third flare in early 2026, offering unprecedented i...

White Dwarf’s Unexplainable Rapid Spin Finally Decoded by Scientists
The white dwarf star RX J0648.0–4418, 1,700 light-years away, spins at a rapid pace of 13 seconds per rotation. Part of a binary system with a helium-burning hot subdwarf star, it continues to shrink while accreting material. This rare and short-lived system provides a unique view into stellar evolution. Approaching the Chandrasekhar limit, RX J0...
