Neptune’s Tiny Moons May Be Wreckage Left by Triton’s Capture
3+ hour, 31+ min ago (378+ words) The small moons inside Neptune’s rings may be the surviving debris of a much larger moon system destroyed when Triton was captured billions of years ago. Neptune’s smallest moons look like minor members of the solar system. They are difficult…...
JWST finds Chariklo’s inner ring growing denser while its outer ring fades
4+ hour, 36+ min ago (429+ words) Chariklo’s inner ring is getting denser. Its outer ring is fading. Both changes are happening at the same time — and, for the moment, nobody knows why. The finding matters beyond Chariklo itself. Ring systems around planets had already shown that…...
Haunting Hubble 'bubble' image captures cosmic cycle of destruction and creation
5+ hour, 32+ min ago (265+ words) A spectacular new Hubble Space Telescope image reveals almost 30,000 newborn stars around an enormous cavity carved into a stellar nursery in a neighboring galaxy. What it is: The nebula LHA 120-N44 Where it is: 160,000 light-years away, in the constellation Dorado When…...
What Is the Cosmic Microwave Background? The Universe’s Afterglow
5+ hour, 46+ min ago (663+ words) The cosmic microwave background is the oldest light we can observe. Here is where it came from, what its tiny patterns reveal, and why it still matters. About 380,000 years after the Big Bang, the expanding universe had cooled enough for…...

NASA's Chandra finds 84 mysterious "hypersoft" x-ray objects across 6 galaxies — But what are they?
10+ hour, 58+ min ago (346+ words) NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has spotted 84 mysterious objects across six galaxies that are leaving astronomers with a major question. What are they? The objects give off unusually low-energy X-rays. Yet they also appear to produce powerful ultraviolet radiation. This strange…...

A molecular-hydrogen cloud only 300 light-years away spans roughly 40 full-Moon widths across our sky, yet astronomers did not identify it until 2025. Named Eos, it escaped conventional surveys because they search for molecular hydrogen indirectly through carbon monoxide—and almost all of Eos is CO-dark.
15+ hour, 2+ min ago (858+ words) Eos covers about 20 degrees of sky, but almost all its estimated 3,400 solar masses of molecular hydrogen escaped the carbon-monoxide surveys normally used to find such clouds....
