- Biggest Supermoon of 2025: Mark your calendars for October 6th at 11:48 PM Eastern Time, as we prepare for the largest supermoon of 2025. This full moon, known as the Harvest Moon, will appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical micro moon, offering a stunning celestial display just after sunset.
- Interstellar Comet 3i Atlas: Excitement is building around the interstellar comet 3i Atlas, the third such object detected in our solar system. The European Space Agency is mobilizing three spacecraft to study its unique trajectory as it approaches the sun, providing a rare opportunity to analyze its composition and understand the building blocks of distant star systems.
- Mysterious Ozone Surge on Mars: Scientists are investigating a puzzling increase in ozone levels over Mars' north pole during winter months. The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter has revealed that extreme cold conditions lead to the freezing of water vapor, halting ozone-depleting reactions and allowing ozone concentrations to rise, offering insights into Mars' atmospheric dynamics and water history.
- Challenging Dark Matter: A new theory proposed by physicist Rajendra Gupta from the University of Ottawa questions the existence of dark matter and dark energy. By suggesting that fundamental constants of nature may change over time, this model could explain cosmic phenomena traditionally attributed to dark matter, prompting a reevaluation of our understanding of the universe.
