Astronomers have, for the first time, directly imaged two black holes orbiting each other in the distant quasar OJ287, confirming a decades-old theory and marking a milestone in black hole research.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has uncovered what scientists call the “closest we’ve actually come to discovering ancient life on Mars,” with rock samples from Jezero Crater now revealing organic molecules and minerals linked to habitable conditions.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured the clearest-ever images of Sagittarius B2, the most massive star-forming region near the Milky Way’s center, revealing new clues about why this cosmic nursery is so unusually active.

On September 23, 2025, NASA will launch the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) to Lagrange Point 1, about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, to chart the elusive boundary of the solar system’s protective bubble—the heliosphere.

NASA's Perseverance rover has detected a "potential biosignature" in a Martian rock sample collected from Jezero Crater, offering the most compelling evidence yet that ancient Mars could have supported microbial life.

A rare total lunar eclipse—lasting over 82 minutes and visible to nearly 5 billion people—will light up skies across India, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Europe on the night of September 7-8, 2025.

Comet 3I/ATLAS, discovered by NASA’s ATLAS telescope in Chile on July 1, 2025, is the third known interstellar object to visit our solar system. Measuring up to 3.5 miles wide and traveling at 137,000 mph, it is rich in carbon dioxide and water ice, according to recent observations by Hubble, James Webb, and SPHEREx telescopes.

On August 21, 2025, SpaceX launched the U.S. military's uncrewed X-37B mini-shuttle from Cape Canaveral for its eighth mission, focusing on advanced laser communications and quantum navigation technologies.

Astronomers have observed a never-before-seen type of supernova, SN 2023zkd, triggered when a massive star tried to swallow a black hole. The discovery, made possible by an AI system, reveals new insights into how stars end their lives.

The highly anticipated Perseid meteor shower will peak overnight on August 12-13, 2025, but a bright waning gibbous moon—just days after the full Sturgeon Moon—will slash meteor counts to just 10-20 per hour in most skies.
