New NASA images from Hubble and James Webb reveal the penguin-shaped Arp 142 galaxy pair, showing how gravity distorts galaxies and drives cosmic mergers across the universe.
Satellite data show stubble fires across northern India shifting later daily, complicating pollution tracking, worsening smog risks and raising new questions about farmer behaviour, monitoring gaps, and Delhi’s air crisis.
The blue-ringed octopus may be tiny, but its venom is deadly. A video of a man holding this world's venomous animal goes viral online.
The southern viscacha’s “sad” face isn’t emotion, it’s evolution. Every feature, from fur to kidneys, helps survival in the Andes’ harsh, high-altitude, cold and dry environment.
From forests to oceans, some animals shimmer like gold. Why do these birds, fish, and mammals glow in brilliant yellow and metallic hues, and what purpose does it truly serve?
Meet the yellow-throated marten, a fearless Asian forest carnivore whose intelligence, agility and hunting skills play a vital role in maintaining ecosystem balance.
Final data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope has ruled out 30 models of the universe, sharpening the Hubble tension and suggesting current cosmological theories remain incomplete.
Astronomers rarely see distant planets directly, instead tracking tiny stellar wobbles and fading light. How do these subtle clues reveal hidden worlds beyond our solar system?
Webb telescope observations hint that a scorching rocky exoplanet may hold a thick atmosphere above molten rock, defying expectations about how close-in worlds survive intense stellar radiation.
Copperheads may threaten humans, but kingsnakes hunt venomous rivals. When these two share territory, which snake truly dominates, and why does venom not decide the outcome every time?
Female manta rays lead dozens of males in spectacular underwater dance-offs near Yap Island, revealing mating behaviour, intelligence and unique physiology while aiding marine conservation research.
Scientists have mapped the sun’s outer atmosphere, revealing where solar wind escapes and magnetic influence ends. How does this jagged, shifting boundary affect space weather and our solar system?
Scientists have discovered trace gases from Earth reaching the Moon, revealing unexpected interplanetary connections and offering potential resources for future lunar bases and space exploration missions.
A rare interstellar comet will sweep past Earth this week at a safe distance, giving scientists a brief chance to study material formed around another star before it vanishes forever.
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will make its closest approach to Earth on December 19, 2025, offering astronomers a rare chance to study material from another star system.
Scientists have uncovered a massive, never-seen-before rock layer deep beneath Bermuda, offering fresh clues to the island’s enduring geological mystery and raising new questions about how Earth’s crust truly forms.
New research suggests Uranus and Neptune may not be true ice giants, with rocky interiors dominating instead, challenging long-standing models of planetary formation and classification.
Scientists sequence South American lungfish genome, 30 times larger than humans, breaking records and revealing insights into vertebrate evolution, genome expansion, and living fossils.
Neutron star NGC 7793 P13’s decade-long monitoring shows huge X-ray and spin changes, providing clues to supercritical accretion and high-energy phenomena in compact cosmic objects.
