discovery and exploration — what science is actively uncovering about the universe, from our solar system to the cosmic edge.
Webb's Eye Sees
What Light Forgot
to Tell Us
The James Webb Space Telescope has delivered its most spectacular image yet — a stellar nursery 1,300 light-years away, where stars are being born in real time. What it reveals challenges everything we thought we knew about star formation.

The Supermassive Duo at the Heart of NGC 7469
Hubble and Chandra have spotted two supermassive black holes locked in a slow gravitational waltz just 1,600 light-years apart. Their eventual merger will send ripples through spacetime detectable across the cosmos.
A Hidden Ocean May Lurk Beneath Saturn's Moon Mimas
New gravitational data from the Cassini mission archive has been reanalysed — and scientists now believe small, rocky Mimas may harbour a young liquid water ocean beneath its cratered shell.
Quantum Sensors Could Soon Map the Universe's Dark Matter Web
A new class of quantum interferometers, sensitive enough to detect single gravitons, may finally give physicists a tool to directly observe the invisible scaffolding that holds the cosmos together.
