Astronomers Have Just Discovered A A Brand New Object At The End Of The Universe

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope identified a new object called MoM-BH-1 from the early universe. This system combines a massive black hole with a dense hydrogen envelope. The findings, reported in Nature, show how such objects could explain the mysterious, bright little red dots seen by the telescope.

Frozen in time: 168 years later, the HMS Terror’s plates 'still sit' exactly where the crew left them.

In April 1848, the crew abandoned HMS Terror in the Canadian Arctic. Researchers found the ship in September 2016 in Terror Bay. Divers showed that plates and bottles still sat on the shelves. These items stayed well preserved for many years, helping experts learn more about the lost expedition’s final days.

Lost for 107 years, Shackleton’s 'Endurance' is finally found—and it’s hauntingly intact.

On March 5, 2022, explorers found Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance 3,008 metres below the Weddell Sea. The vessel sank on November 21, 1915, after pack ice crushed its hull. The wreck sits upright and remarkably preserved. This discovery marks the end of a century-long mystery for the famous lost ship.

Our ancestors didn't just tame wolves—they formed a 'life-changing' partnership to survive the hunt.

A 2022 review in the journal People and Nature suggests wild wolves were likely hunting partners with early humans. Wolves wore prey down, and humans moved in to finish the job. This shared hunt helped people reach prey while leaving enough carrion behind for wolves to benefit from the kill.

Indonesia quake of 7.7 magnitude triggers tsunami warning, kills 20. Why is this one different?

A magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck northern Flores Island on Saturday, August 15, killing 20 people. The quake hit at 4:58 a.m. near Mbay, causing severe landslides and building damage. Experts said the rupture on the Flores back-arc thrust was unusual, as the fault sits close to many populated coastal areas.

After commercial whaling nearly erased them, blue and fin whales are slowly reclaiming the southeast Atlantic

New research shows blue and fin whales are returning to the southeast Atlantic after commercial whaling ended 40 years ago. Data from 1964 to March 2025 revealed 95% of sightings occurred since 2012. Dr. Bridget James said, "These giants of the ocean are slowly recovering from the devastating impact."

The next frontier for Indian science on the 80th Independence Day

India’s 80th Independence Day marks a time to evaluate the future of Indian science. The country now aims to turn its large, educated population into a connected system that produces world-class research. While Britain remains a strong benchmark, India already shows impressive growth in chemistry and highly cited research.

New seismic mapping reveals ancient ocean remains and trapped water pockets under the Eastern Indian craton

A new study revealed ancient ocean remains and trapped water pockets under the Eastern Indian craton. Dr. Prantik Mandal used 16 seismic stations in Odisha and Jharkhand to map the Mantle Transition Zone. The findings showed this deep layer holds water trapped during the assembly of the supercontinent Gondwana long ago.

Thiruvanthapuram headmaster’s study sheds new light on 1721 Anjengo revolt; agitation began in 1694, says thesis

A study by headmaster A Anilkumar shows the Anjengo revolt against the British started in 1694, not 1721. Anilkumar said, “The first Anjengo people’s agitation was held in 1694 and the first revolt in 1697.” This research suggests the struggle against British rule in India began much earlier than recorded.

Google brings Gemini AI to students of all ages through Classroom

Google made Gemini available in Classroom to help students ask questions about course materials. School administrators can turn access on or off for specific groups. Derek Moore said, “We seem to be the last to know.” This move ramps up a battle among tech giants to capture classrooms for students.

Space is now thrown open to all

Skyroot Aerospace successfully launched the Vikram-1 rocket, boosting India’s private space sector. Private firms now plan to launch smaller satellites for agriculture and imaging. Sanjay Nekkanti said, “We are not far from seeing launches happening every month from India.” This progress builds global trust and creates new opportunities for international partnerships.

Meet Arya Hirsave: The Texas seventh-grader who found a way to make algae produce 77% more oil in five days

Arya Hirsave, a seventh-grader from Canyon Vista Middle School in Austin, Texas, found a way to make algae produce 77% more oil in five days. She used vitamins and salt to boost lipid production. Her project got selected for the 2025 Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge for renewable energy.
