A team using the LOFAR radio telescope network made this claim. They combined LOFAR data with two other sensitive radio arrays.
If the findings prove correct, they could transform our understanding of the cosmos and its future. Instead of stretching endlessly, the universe might one day halt its growth and begin to contract—a possible “Big Crunch.”
3I/ATLAS is the third-known interstellar object to enter our solar system. It was discovered on 1 July 2025 by the ATLAS telescope in Chile, travelling at over 210,000 kilometres per hour.
Scientists believe 3I/ATLAS contains significant amounts of carbon dioxide, similar to comets formed in cold, distant star systems.
Scientists say 3I/ATLAS is moving at speeds above 130,000 mph (210,000 km/h). It is only the third interstellar object ever discovered and follows a remarkably straight, flat path through our solar system.
An interstellar visitor is puzzling scientists with its strange colour and rapid brightening, prompting fresh questions about what’s really happening as it travels through our Solar System.
3I/ATLAS made its closest approach to Earth on 29 October 2025, coming within 1.8 astronomical units, or around 167 million miles.
The solar wind is a constant flow of charged particles emitted by the Sun. It pushes against a comet’s tail, which is formed from dust and gas escaping its icy nucleus.
What makes these meteor showers special is their occasional production of bright fireballs that can briefly light up the night.
Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS undergoes a striking green transformation, captivating scientists and astronomy enthusiasts alike with its unprecedented color change.
NASA confirms that asteroid 2009 FF is heading towards Earth. The space rock is about 490 feet wide. It travels at 28,916 miles per hour.
Comet 3I/ATLAS is an interstellar visitor, unlike others in our Solar System. It follows a path that takes it back to space.
The cluster, also called NGC 104, sits 13,000 light-years away. It is the second brightest globular cluster seen from Earth after Omega Centauri.
NASA has confirmed asteroid 2025 OG1 is travelling towards Earth. The rock measures nearly 110 feet in size and is moving at 9,343 miles per hour.
NASA says asteroid 2025 QY4 is on its way. The rock measures nearly 180 feet wide. It is travelling at 30,205 miles per hour.
SpaceX’s Starship completed its tenth test flight with both stages performing controlled splashdowns, providing vital data for future reusability.
NASA has confirmed the rock is heading on course. The asteroid is around 120 feet wide in size. It travels at nearly 28,482 miles every single hour.
The signal is a fast radio burst, known as FRB. These flashes are intense but brief, lasting only milliseconds. This particular burst, nicknamed RBFLOAT, outshone every other radio source in its host galaxy.
Planet Nine was previously suggested as a possible explanation for distant orbital clustering. It was thought to be ten times Earth’s mass, orbiting far beyond Neptune.
Astronomers were photographing the Pleiades star cluster (M45). Long exposures were made to show faint nebulosity clearly.
By using Hubble’s advanced instruments, scientists plan to map 19 nearby galaxies. They aim to identify more than 50,000 nebulae in total.
NASA has confirmed asteroid 2023 PX will pass Earth soon. The rock is around 73 feet wide in size. It is moving at a high speed through space.
NASA estimates around 44 tonnes of meteoritic material fall towards Earth each day. Almost all of it is vaporised in the atmosphere, leaving glowing streaks visible across the night sky.
The rock, named 1997 QK1, is nearly 990 feet wide. The asteroid is travelling at 21,994 miles per hour.
Both space rocks are big enough to cause serious regional damage if they were to hit, but they’ll instead sail past at millions of miles away.
