NASA’s Perseverance rover has achieved a major milestone by navigating Martian terrain using artificial intelligence alone. In December 2025, AI-generated routes guided the rover safely across Jezero Crater, proving that autonomous navigation can dramatically speed up exploration and increase scientific returns on future planetary missions.

Japan’s XRISM X-ray observatory has delivered the first detailed maps of hot gas swirling around supermassive black holes in the Virgo and Perseus galaxy clusters. The data reveal intense turbulence, like cosmic storms driven by black hole jets. This churning heats the gas, stopping it from cooling and collapsing into new stars, explaining why cluster cores remain s…

Leaked pricing suggests increases for most models, including the Galaxy S26 and S26+, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra 256GB may retain its predecessor’s price. Higher storage variants could cost m…

Artificial intelligence has combed through decades of Hubble Space Telescope data, revealing hundreds of unusual celestial objects that astronomers had missed. ESA’s AnomalyMatch neural network scanned around 100 million image cutouts in just days, flagging more than 1,300 anomalies. Among them are colliding galaxies, rare gravitational lenses, and jellyfish galaxie…
