Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered SPT-CL J2215-3537, a massive galaxy cluster located 8.4 billion light-years away. Nicknamed the “Champagne Supernova” cluster, it is the most distant relaxed cluster ever observed, showing no signs of recent collisions. Its calm structure and active star formation challenge existing theories abou…

Skywatchers will be treated to a striking celestial event on January 3, 2026, as the Wolf Moon rises as a supermoon near Earth’s perihelion. Appearing larger and brighter than usual, the full Moon will climb the eastern sky at dusk, accompanied by the brilliant planet Jupiter. This rare alignment—last seen more than a century ago—offers a vivid start to the year…

The Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby dwarf galaxy glowing with star birth. Just 160,000 light-years away, it hosts vast nebulae like the Tarantula and historic events such as Supernova 1987A, offering astronomers a rare, close-up laboratory to study how stars form, evolve, and explode.

Scientists using a quantum-powered haloscope have advanced the search for dark matter axions by probing higher mass ranges than before. The QUAX collaboration’s experiment, based in Italy, uses a microwave cavity and a strong magnetic field to detect faint axion signals. While no axions were found, the results help refine future dark matter searches.

The most sensitive radio search ever conducted on interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has found no signs of alien technology. Using the Green Bank Telescope, scientists scanned key radio bands during its closest approach to Earth. All detected signals were linked to interference, strengthening the view that 3I/ATLAS is a natural object.

India’s CNAP (Calling Name Presentation) uses operator-verified SIM records to display caller names at the network level, while Truecaller runs as an app using community data for caller ID, spam detection and insights. CNAP works without Internet, and a broader rollout is expected by early 2026.
