Gamma-ray bursts, discovered accidentally by US military satellites in 1967, remain one of space's greatest mysteries. Recent ground-based observations of long-lasting afterglows challenge current scientific models of these massive cosmic explosions.
Origame Digital's Penguin Colony combines Lovecraftian horror, open-world Antarctic exploration, and historical Nazi relic hunting, using a low-poly aesthetic and cryptic gameplay mechanics to evoke fear of the unknown.
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile released a stacked image of the COSMOS field containing over 500,000 galaxies and 50,000 stars, captured using its 3.2-gigapixel LSST Camera.
JWST observations reveal perplexing "little red dots," impossibly large black holes, and unexpectedly bright galaxies in the early universe, challenging existing astrophysics. Scientists are developing new theories, including black hole stars and super-Eddington accretion, to explain these cosmic enigmas.
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile has released a stacked image of the COSMOS field, containing over 500,000 galaxies and 50,000 stars. Captured by the 3.2-gigapixel LSST Camera, this image, part of the Early Data Preview 2, offers the clearest view yet of this crucial region for studying the universe's history.
Astronomers from Durham University propose the Milky Way's orientation was flipped over 90 degrees about 10 billion years ago due to a direct collision with the dwarf galaxy Gaia Sausage, a cosmic event simulated using supercomputers.
Recent space and geological discoveries include unexplained compounds on Pluto and Titan, identified repeating radio signals, deep space sugar molecule, Earth's potential Sun avoidance, and more.
Researchers at CUNY ASRC have successfully recreated the energy extraction process of black holes in a laboratory using a stationary device. This breakthrough, based on a theory by Sir Roger Penrose, uses artificial rotation to amplify electromagnetic waves, with potential applications in communication, optics, and quantum computing.
JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission successfully altered an asteroid's orbit, demonstrating advanced technology to potentially deflect Earth-bound threats. Mission control confirmed the spacecraft responded perfectly to commands from 100 million km away.
A new study proposes that some of the earliest, most compact star clusters may have formed in the quiet regions surrounding young galaxies, rather than within their crowded discs. Simulations show gas filaments in these circumgalactic areas collapsing to create dense star concentrations, mirroring recent JWST observations.
The US and China are in a new space race, with both nations aiming to be the first to return humans to the Moon. NASA head Jared Isaacman highlighted China's rapid advancements and the strategic importance of lunar resources and future Mars missions.

Researchers identified the source of mysterious repeating radio signals from space. A global map of the fungal network supporting plant life and climate regulation was created. The Euclid space telescope captured a detailed image of the Milky Way's center. A new fossil axolotl species was found in Mexico. Earthquakes in Mexico, Norway, and Venezuela were documented, with seismic activity linked to sports victories and seismic doublets. Satellite imagery revealed the impact of Venezuelan earthquakes and how space lasers can track crustal shifts.
Astronomers using Hubble and James Webb telescopes found light from MXDFz4.4, a tiny galaxy from the early universe. This galaxy, existing shortly after the Epoch of Reionization, shows powerful ultraviolet light escaping, offering a rare glimpse into cosmic transformation.
Il fisico teorico Paolo Creminelli dell'ICTP di Trieste ha ricevuto un prestigioso ERC Advanced Grant per il progetto quinquennale BestLobe. La ricerca studierà la propagazione di particelle e onde in un mezzo per comprendere fenomeni come i buchi neri e l'universo primordiale.
An international research team has identified the source of mysterious long-period radio transients (LPTs) as a white dwarf actively accreting material from a companion red dwarf star. This discovery, made using the ASKAP radio telescope, provides the strongest evidence yet linking LPTs to white dwarf binary systems and offers a new 'Rosetta Stone' for understanding these cosmic phenomena.
Astronomers suggest comet 3I/Atlas, the third observed interstellar visitor, may be up to 12 billion years old, predating our solar system. Its unique chemical composition, detected by the James Webb telescope, indicates formation in a very cold environment, unlike any known solar system body.
Medicinska sekreterare i nio svenska regioner upplever kraftigt ökad arbetsbelastning och stress efter införandet av journalsystemet Cosmic. Enkätsvar visar att nästan nio av tio upplever ökad arbetsbörda och drygt fyra av fem känner sig mer stressade. Systemet kritiseras för att vara omständligt och långsamt, och det finns farhågor kring patientsäkerheten.
Una ricerca dell'Università di Southampton ha individuato un errore nei calcoli sull'età delle supernove, smentendo l'ipotesi di un rallentamento nell'espansione dell'universo. La scoperta conferma la teoria dell'energia oscura.
Ariana Grande's 'Eternal Sunshine' tour stop in Los Angeles explored the theme of memory erasure, with Grande ultimately choosing to embrace her painful experiences rather than forget them. The show featured hits from her new album and past work, highlighting her resilience.
The World Cup kicked off in Los Angeles with a lavish opening ceremony featuring Katy Perry and a dominant 4-1 victory for the USMNT against Paraguay. The event aimed to distract from domestic issues and showcase a diverse, unified American team.
Indie studio 14 Hours Productions announces Burn-9, a 'reverse Metal Gear' game where players guide a secret agent via radio conversations, making moral choices. Fellow Traveller also releases a trailer for Penguin Colony, an H.P. Lovecraft adaptation, with demos available for both games.
A global team led by CSIRO has created the largest-ever map of cosmic magnetic fields by measuring light from nearly 4 million galaxies. The "SPICE_RACS" map, made possible by the ASKAP radio telescope in Western Australia, will help scientists investigate fundamental questions about the universe's magnetic origins and evolution.
The SETI Institute has announced that extensive radio scans of an interstellar comet have revealed no signs of alien technology. The comet, the third known object from another star to enter our solar system, was observed by SETI's telescope in Northern California.
