Cha 1107-7626 is estimated to be about one to two million years old — extremely young by astronomical standards.
Black holes form when massive stars collapse and grow by consuming nearby material. When they draw in gas and dust, the friction produces visible light, forming active galactic nuclei.
Researchers identified 1,039 tornado-like whirlwinds called ‘dust devils’ using data from the European Space Agency’s Mars Express and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter.

New Glenn, when fully stacked, stands 320 feet tall and features a reusable first stage similar to SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets.
Vyommitra combines mechanical precision with artificial intelligence. It can recognise speech, move its limbs, and identify instruments using vision-based technology.
California-based company Inversion introduced a reusable spacecraft, Arc, designed for rapid orbital cargo delivery anywhere on Earth in under an hour.
Experience the waning gibbous Moon passes near the Pleiades on 9 October 2025, this sky event is visible with binoculars through its bright glow.
Scientists estimate that nearly 8% of the comet’s surface, about 7.8 square kilometres, is actively venting vapour. Most comets show only three to five per cent activity.
Amber, a fossilised form of tree resin, can date back as far as 320 million years. Scientists have observed a sharp increase in amber presence between 120 million and 70 million years ago.
NASA confirms 2025 TF passed just 266 miles above Earth on 1st October, highlighting the challenges of tracking small near-Earth objects.
Researchers develop live retinal imaging in mice, tracking brain cell responses to disease and treatment and advancing vision research. The study offers insights into disease progression and potential vision therapies.
The ExoMars orbiter’s Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System captured faint images of the comet’s coma, the glowing cloud of gas and dust surrounding its icy nucleus.
Experts estimate that only around 250 Arabian caracals survive in the UAE today. The species was first spotted in Jebel Hafeet in 2019 after disappearing for nearly 35 years.
New research from Kobe University reveals that fungi decomposing deadwood provide essential carbon for wild orchids, helping their tiny seeds germinate and thrive.
Scientists are working to conserve the Tasmanian devil, once devastated by disease, and it is now making a comeback through breeding programmes and disease research.
Ghost arrived at the Aquarium of the Pacific in May 2024 after being collected from the wild in British Columbia. She weighed just three pounds at the time but now tips the scales at over 30 pounds.
Discover the Geographer Cone Snail who is a tiny predator capable of paralyzing and killing humans instantly and the medical potential of its deadly compounds.
Octopuses, known for their intelligence, adaptability and curiosity, are more than marine marvels. They are vital players in the ocean’s balance, helping ecosystems thrive while inspiring scientists with their problem-solving skills and unique behaviours.
Mother octopuses use deep-sea thermal pools near hydrothermal vents to accelerate egg development, revealing extraordinary evolutionary adaptations in deep-sea parenting.
Scientists discover subtle spinal enlargements in zebrafish, reshaping understanding of vertebrate nervous system evolution and fin-to-limb development.
Brood parasites lay eggs in other species’ nests, forcing the host to raise their offspring. The cost to host species is high, making this a prime system to study evolution in natural settings.
Scientists from Goethe University, Frankfurt used advanced simulations to reveal how rotating black holes produce relativistic jets, highlighting magnetic reconnection and plasma behaviour in cosmic environments.
In a remarkable display of strength and adaptability, a jaguar has stunned researchers by swimming to an island in a flooded reservoir in northern Brazil.
The space rock, now named 2025 TF, was spotted after the event using observations from the Catalina Sky Survey, a NASA-funded project that monitors near-Earth objects.
The Perseverance rover on Mars imaged 3I/ATLAS with its Right Navigation Camera (Navcam), this image assists both scientific observation and rover navigation across Martian terrain.
European Space Agency’s Gaia mission deciphers asteroid rotation patterns, revealing structural secrets and implications for planetary defence missions.
India prepares to spotlight its conservation efforts on a global stage as the world gathers to decide the future of biodiversity.
Ant colonies are highly structured societies where most members are sterile female workers. Queens typically mate once in their lives, storing sperm to produce future generations of queens, workers, and males.
One of Asia’s most secretive big cats is fighting for survival as deforestation, hunting and habitat loss push it closer to danger.
Tim Friede’s rare antibodies may hold key to a universal snake antivenom. Researchers test cocktails protecting against deadly snakes across continents, offering hope for millions globally.
Skywatchers are in for a rare celestial spectacle as two bright comets, C/2025 R2 (SWAN) and C/2025 A6 (Lemmon), make their closest approach to Earth while the Orionid meteor shower peaks in October 2025.
Planet Y has not been directly observed, but its influence is apparent. Researchers studied roughly 50 icy objects beyond Neptune and found unexpected orbital inclinations.
