Chinese satellite on course to collide with an American satellite prompted the former to take a step it had never taken before. NASA said it was a cause for celebration since this was the first time that China observed a conjunction and prevented it from happening. 

China tells NASA, 'we are about to collide', for the first time ever — What it means

Asteroid 2025 TF flew over Antarctica on October 1 at a distance of 482 kilometres. None of the space agencies knew that it was coming and would make such a close flyby. What would have happened if the asteroid had collided with Earth?

Asteroid flies just kilometres above Antarctica, and no one knew it was coming

The NASA website has stopped updating, as per a message on the space agency's website on Friday morning (October 3). The closure comes ahead of interstellar comet 3I/Atlas, whose pictures were expected to be released by NASA as it flies by Mars.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been called humanity’s best chance at answering the biggest question: Are we alone? But could it go even further and actually spot Earth 2.0, a planet like ours with oceans, land, and perhaps even life?

Could NASA's James Webb Telescope actually detect Earth 2.0?

The mission is revealing a world far more dynamic and complex than previously imagined, challenging decades of scientific assumptions and offering clues about how gas giants, and possibly other planetary systems, form and evolve. 

What did NASA’s Juno mission discover about Jupiter? Here are 5 mind-blowing findings..

While both Voyagers visited Jupiter and Saturn, only Voyager 2 continued onwards to Uranus and Neptune, making it the sole spacecraft ever to study the ice giants up close.

‘Not dead worlds’: How Voyager 2’s discoveries at Uranus and Neptune changed planetary science forever

3I/ATLAS interstellar object: A NASA observatory has noticed a cloud of CO2 around 3I/ATLAS. Harvard scientist Avi Loeb says there is no water cloud and no “bright water gas coma”. He has once again asserted that this shows that it is nearly impossible for  3I/ATLAS to be a space rock.

1-in-500 cosmic coincidence? Scientist says 3I/ATLAS could be millions of times bigger than 2I/Borisov, only if...

The X-37B space plane goes on secretive missions for days to carry out tests and experiments for the US Space Force. It is set to be launched again this week from NASA's Kennedy Space Centre near Cape Canaveral. Its launch and landing techniques are quite unique.

What is the X-37B 'secretive' space plane that US Space Force launches this week?

These events are not rare in astronomical timescales. They can occur anywhere from stellar systems to the centres of galaxies, where supermassive black holes lurk.

What really happens when supermassive black holes collide?

When it comes to the mysteries of the cosmos, two concepts often spark curiosity and confusion, black holes and wormholes. While they’re sometimes mentioned together in science fiction, these space phenomena are fundamentally different in nature, purpose, and reality. 

Black Holes vs Wormholes: What’s the difference between these two cosmic objects?

When gas or dust spirals towards a black hole, it forms an accretion disc that heats up to millions of degrees, producing some of the brightest emissions in the universe. 

If black holes trap all light, how do we spot and measure the mass of the universe’s heaviest monsters?

In 1974, Stephen Hawking shook the scientific world with a revolutionary idea: black holes aren’t eternal. Instead, they slowly lose mass over time through a process now famously known as Hawking Radiation.

What Stephen Hawking’s 'Black Hole Evaporation Theory' really means for universe?

Black holes don’t just pull in matter, they also bend space and time itself. Step too close, and the way you experience time could be completely different from someone far away. Here’s why that happens.

Why time works differently near a black hole? Understanding the science behind it
