Scientists have discovered the fastest-spinning asteroid sized over 0.3 miles in diameter, which is rotating about once every two minutes. Dubbed 2025 MN45, the space rock is some 2,300 feet across and spans nearly the size of eight football fields. The asteroid is of the size of seven football pitches drifting through space. It’s safe for now but scientists warn gravity can change everything. How real is the risk, and can humanity stop a future threat?

Prepare to witness the cosmos like never before. Astronomers have released two extraordinary images reshaping how we see our galaxy. The first: a 32-hour exposure of the Lion Nebula, revealing a stellar nursery bursting with newborn stars and interstellar gas. The second: the most detailed radio map of the Milky Way ever produced, capturing the invisible magnetic fields and cosmic energy shaping our galaxy’s vast structure.
From the glowing Lion Nebula to the hidden skeleton of the Milky Way, this is a jaw-dropping look at the universe’s unseen forces; and a reminder of how much we still have to discover.

A rare crescent sunrise solar eclipse took place on September 21, 2025, visible mainly from parts of Antarctica, New Zealand, and some South Pacific islands. During the eclipse. The eclipse began at 10:59 PM IST on Sunday and reached its dramatic peak at 1:11 AM IST on Monday and by the time it ended at 3:23 AM IST, viewers were left in awe of the sky’s transformation
This eclipse closed the astronomical calendar for 2025, marking the year’s second and final solar event. Watch in to know more!

The particles which are flying around planet Uranus are facing "traffic jams". Now, scientists have found the reason behind this weird scenario in the cosmic world.

Uranus is facing 'traffic jams' in the cosmic world. Here's why

On June 27, an international team led by Penn State researchers announced their unprecedented discovery after they found three mysterious objects in the universe, which date back to about 600-800 million years after the Big Bang.

Discovery of ancient stars and massive black holes in young galaxies challenges cosmic theories

A rare astronomical event known as a "major lunar standstill" is providing researchers with a unique opportunity to investigate the potential lunar alignments of the ancient monument of Stonehenge.

In new research, scientists have found that elusive intermediate-mass black holes may have birthed in dense star clusters which are filled with tens of thousands to millions of tightly packed stars known as "globular clusters".

Intermediate-mass black holes have a 'birthing nest' in cosmic world, suggests study

"Traffic jams" caused by supermassive black holes in space might be causing collisions in other black holes. According to a new study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, the environment around a supermassive black hole is ideal for facilitating the growth of other black holes.
