Scientists studying Mars have pinpointed 13 candidate source locations for Teghaza 001, one of the oldest Martian meteorites discovered on Earth. Using spectroscopic and topographical observations from orbital missions in space, researchers traced the unique chemical composition of the rock back to specific highland regions in the Martian southern hemisphere.

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered evidence that overturns an established model of cosmic history. Observations published in Nature Astronomy reveal that powerful stellar explosions did not help ultraviolet radiation escape ancient galaxies, but instead trapped it inside dense clouds of gas.

Physicists from the University of Southampton and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur have found that a neglected particle may explain why matter exists today instead of empty space. Their analysis shows that a decoupled heavy neutrino briefly dominated the cosmos after the Big Bang, tipping the balance against antimatter.

An international team led by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan has uncovered an intricate network of magnetic structures above calm solar regions. Carried into the stratosphere aboard the Sunrise-III balloon observatory in 2024, specialized instruments mapped previously unseen magnetic threads, offering fresh clues about how energy travels upward to heat the solar atmosphere.
