The discovery of yeast survival on Mars conditions has astonished scientists and sparked new questions about life’s adaptability beyond Earth. Mars may be cold, dry, and bathed in radiation, but new research reveals that even one of the simplest organisms on Earth — baker’s yeast — has the tools to endure this hostile environment. Researchers…
Phosphine in Brown Dwarf Atmosphere has been discovered for the first time — a groundbreaking achievement made possible by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This marks a historic leap in understanding the chemistry of brown dwarfs — mysterious “failed stars” that lie between planets and full-fledged stars. A Discovery That Redefines Cosmic Chemistry For…
The Black Hole That Broke the Rules has stunned astronomers and may force a rewrite of one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology — how did supermassive black holes grow so massive, so early in the universe’s history? An international team of researchers using the GRAVITY+ instrument at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) in…
The Asteroid Belt Disappearing Act is unfolding right before astronomers’ eyes, even if it takes billions of years to fully play out. Once thought of as a static, permanent feature of our Solar System, the asteroid belt is now understood to be a dynamic region in constant decline. Located between Mars and Jupiter, this vast…
Bangladesh Astronomy Olympiad team has officially arrived in Sochi, Russia, to take part in the 4th Open World Astronomy Olympiad (OWAO), running from September 20 to 27, 2025. This prestigious international event gathers young astronomers from across the globe, giving them the chance to compete, collaborate, and deepen their passion for space science. This year’s…
The battle against light pollution in astronomy has never been more urgent. Chile’s Atacama Desert, home to some of the world’s most advanced observatories, is facing a growing threat from artificial light and industrial development. Astronomers warn that if nothing is done, humanity risks losing its last clear windows to the Universe. Why the Atacama…
Partial Solar Eclipse September 2025 is set to captivate skywatchers across the southern hemisphere. On 22 September (local time), the Moon will take a dramatic “bite” out of the Sun, creating a beautiful partial solar eclipse visible from New Zealand, Australia’s east coast, several Pacific islands, and even Antarctica. Unlike a total solar eclipse, where…
Solar storms are waking up again — and scientists say we could be heading into a period of increased solar activity that may have consequences for Earth. After decades of declining solar activity, new research confirms that the sun is experiencing a surge in sunspots, flares, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). This resurgence is significant…
Quasi-moon 2025 PN7 is the newest addition to Earth’s cosmic neighborhood — a tiny asteroid that has been quietly orbiting near our planet for over sixty years. Recently confirmed by astronomers, this discovery provides a rare opportunity to study how small celestial objects behave under the influence of both Earth’s and the Sun’s gravity. Unlike…
SpaceX launches Cygnus XL NG-23 in a landmark mission for NASA and Northrop Grumman, marking the first flight of the larger and more capable Cygnus cargo ship. The launch occurred at 6:11 p.m. EDT (2211 GMT) on Sunday, Sept. 14, from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, atop a Falcon 9 rocket. This milestone mission…
