PSLV-C62 Failure Marks India’s First Space Launch Setback of 2026

India experienced its first space launch failure of 2026 on January 12 when the PSLV-C62 mission malfunctioned during its third stage. A technical anomaly caused the rocket to deviate from its intended trajectory, preventing it from reaching orbital velocity. As a result, the EOS-N1 Earth observation satellite and 15 smaller companion satellites re-entered Earth’s a…

A Massive Black Hole Starved Pablo’s Galaxy, Ending Its Star Formation

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA have uncovered how a massive black hole shut down star formation in Pablo’s Galaxy. Powerful winds expelled gas at hundreds of kilometres per second, leaving almost no cold fuel behind. The findings suggest many early galaxies did not die explosively, but were slowly starved by their central black holes in th…

Scientists Study 100 Possible Alien Signals as Arecibo’s Historic SETI Search Concludes

Scientists are studying 100 possible alien radio signals identified from Arecibo Observatory data, bringing the 21-year SETI@Home project to a close. Supported by millions of volunteers, the effort found no confirmed alien messages but set new sensitivity standards. Researchers say the findings will guide future searches using more powerful radio telescopes.

Astronomers Find ‘Mystery Engine’ Powering Massive Nebula Around a Dead Star, Challenging Physics

Astronomers have discovered a striking shockwave around the white dwarf RXJ0528+2838, a finding that contradicts existing theories. Observed using the Very Large Telescope, the structure suggests a long-lasting outflow from a system thought to be inactive. The mystery points to an unknown energy source shaping how dead stars interact with space.
