Amid worsening climate pressures, 2025 delivered quiet wins from surging renewables to returning wildlife, landmark legal shifts and indigenous gains, showing unexpected progress that often escaped headlines worldwide this year.

These marine creatures are so deceptive that scientists once mistook them for plants. Their shapes, colours and movement perfectly mimic underwater vegetation, creating confusion for researchers.

Four eclipses will light up the skies in 2026, including rare solar events over Europe and dramatic lunar displays worldwide, with exact dates, visibility zones, and essential viewing tips explained.

The skeleton of Ramu, a tusked elephant from Odisha, has been carefully recovered and chemically cleaned, revealing 240 preserved bones and raising questions about how wildlife remains are scientifically conserved.

The Arctic has recorded its hottest year on record, with temperatures soaring far above average and sea ice shrinking to historic lows, scientists warn of accelerating climate impacts.

NASA’s HiRISE camera captured its 100,000th image of Mars in 2025. Stunning orbital photos reveal dunes, mesas and surface changes on the Red Planet.

Astronomers spotted a distant supermassive black hole launching record-speed winds after an intense X-ray flare, revealing magnetic forces at work and offering fresh clues about how violent galactic centres evolve.

A rare albino white crow has been spotted in Misamis Oriental, Philippines. Photographers capture the bird, highlighting its genetic rarity and inspiring fascination with wildlife and conservation.

This rare plant looks like a mushroom is actually a parasitic flowering species. Scientists reveal how Balanophora survives without photosynthesis and adapts to fragile forest habitats.

A rare cave study reveals Cuban boas hunting bats together, positioning themselves strategically to block escapes, challenging beliefs about snakes as solitary hunters and raising new questions about reptile intelligence.

Polar bears in Southern Greenland show rapid genetic changes linked to jumping genes. Researchers suggest these may help them survive warming Arctic conditions, but risks remain high.

A new study warns a powerful solar storm could cripple satellite mega-constellations within days, as crowded orbits, lost controls, and rising collision risks threaten to trigger a cascading space debris crisis.

NASA’s IXPE mission has solved a long-standing mystery by revealing how black hole jets generate X-rays, using the longest polarised X-ray observation ever conducted.

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.
