Scientist found a Saturn-sized planet drifting alone through the galaxy Somewhere between the stars, far from any sun, a planet is moving quietly through space. There is no orbit to trace and no glow to catch the eye, just a brief distortion when it passes in front of something brighter. That small moment has now […]

February 2026 is expected to amaze astronomy enthusiasts with an annular solar eclipse, which appears as a spectacular “ring of fire.” This happens owing to the effect of the Moon coming between Earth and the Sun. Partially, in this case, the Moon will cover the Sun, and a bright ring of sunlight will blaze out […]

In late July, far from shore, off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, the ocean shifted after a powerful tremor, and something subtle moved through the air above it. NASA scientists noticed. An experimental system called GUARDIAN had just come online, almost by chance, and the event became its first serious trial. The tsunami itself caused limited damage, […]

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is all set to kick-start its year-long endeavours in 2026 with the PSLV-C62 satellite on January 12 at 10:17 am IST from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh. The satellite is an exemplar of India’s increasing prowess in the field of satellite launching and international partnerships. […]

When one considers the scientific study of space, one of the first things that comes to mind is not likely to be the botanical sciences. Yet it appears that in the study of one of the oldest tribes of flora to exist on the planet, the science team examining horsetails has been able to discern […]

People often remember where they were for an eclipse, even years later. It is not always because they understood what was happening, but because the light changed and the world felt briefly unfamiliar. On August 2, 2027, a total solar eclipse will cross a long stretch of the Earth, moving quietly from the Atlantic across […]

January nights do not always feel generous. The cold arrives early, clouds linger, and most evenings seem too quiet for spectacle. Still, the sky keeps moving, mostly unnoticed, offering small moments that reward patience rather than planning. This January, NASA highlights a handful of events that are easy to miss if you are not looking […]

Sometimes progress in space science does not arrive with a flash. It comes quietly, through patient observation, and then settles into place. That is how this new result from NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarisation Explorer fits. For the first time, the mission has been used to study a white dwarf star, not as a distant point […]

There is a tendency to picture computers as cold, precise things, sealed away in clean rooms and humming quietly under desks. Brains feel different. Messier. Slower in places. Yet far more efficient overall. That contrast has been bothering computer scientists for years, especially as artificial intelligence grows more demanding. The human brain runs on very […]

It usually begins quietly. A thought appears without warning, tied to something unpleasant, and the body reacts before the mind can catch up. For people dealing with trauma or anxiety, this pattern can repeat for years. Scientists have long wondered whether memories like these can be softened without disturbing everything else stored in the brain. […]
