The James Webb Space Telescope has detected carbon-bearing molecules in a moon-forming disk surrounding CT Cha b, a massive planet-like object orbiting a young star 625 light-years away. The discovery marks the first measurement of its kind and offers clues to how moons like those around Jupiter and Saturn might have formed.

New JWST observations reveal the hidden star-forming activity inside Sagittarius B2, the Milky Way’s largest molecular cloud. By seeing through dense dust, astronomers can study how stars form efficiently in extreme environments. These findings help explain not only Sgr B2 but also broader mechanisms shaping galaxies.

The Orionid meteor shower 2025 will put on a breathtaking show this October, with shooting stars streaking across the sky. Caused by Halley’s Comet debris, the event peaks on October 21–22 and rewards viewers with clear, dark skies and patience. A must-watch for astronomy lovers and casual stargazers alike.

The Expedition 73 Crew commences the week by configuring advanced physics, blood circulation studies, and more at the International Space Station.

Venus’ distinctive crown-like coronae may be explained by heat trapped beneath a rigid mantle layer, according to recent studies. This discovery provides key insights into the planet’s geological activity and helps researchers compare Venus’ surface evolution to that of other planets in our solar system

Firefly Aerospace has suffered a setback after the Alpha rocket exploded during a preflight test. The incident, thankfully injury-free, raises concerns about the rocket’s reliability and delays the Lockheed Martin mission. Firefly is taking corrective actions, investigating the failure, and aiming to demonstrate safe and dependable launches in upcoming missions.

Qualcomm’s Nitin Kumar, VP Product Management – Snapdragon Chipset, talks about X2 Elite, the next-gen laptop chip, highlighting improved performance, AI capabilities, and enhanced power efficiency. The Snapdragon X2 Elite was announced during the Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii. The second-generation processor also includes Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme. The laptops powered by the new chips will be available in 2026

Physicists have identified a loophole in Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle that allows simultaneous measurement of a particle’s position and momentum in modular form. The approach, demonstrated with trapped ions, avoids breaking the principle itself while promising advances in quantum sensors, navigation systems, and precision clocks.

SpaceX has successfully launched its Falcon 9 rocket, which carried 11-20 Starlink Satellites into space. The lift-off was done from the Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, wherein the rocket entered space within a few minutes of the launch.

SpaceX successfully launched NROL-48 on Sept. 22, 2025, for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office. The mission deployed small satellites into orbit, supporting the “proliferated architecture,” a strategy to boost resilience by using many small spacecraft for surveillance and intelligence.
