Astronomers discover galaxy made of 99% dark matter | CNN A galaxy made almost entirely of dark matter, an elusive form of matter that doesn’t interact with light, was spotted by Hubble 250 million light-years from Earth.

Using the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers with NASA identified a faint “ghost” galaxy in the Perseus Cluster that’s up to 99% dark matter and has very few stars. The discovery suggests many more nearly invisible, dark matter–dominated galaxies may be hiding in plain sight

Lessons from 'The Martian': How astronaut poop could help us settle the Red Planet Mark Watney had some good ideas about growing crops on Mars.

Astronauts’ waste could help make Martian or lunar soil fertile by mixing processed human sewage with regolith simulants to release plant-nutrients, aiding crop growth and self-sufficiency for settlements — echoing The Martian’s idea of using human waste to farm on Mars

James Webb spots a galaxy with tentacles in deep space Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted the most distant “jellyfish galaxy” ever seen — a cosmic oddity streaming long, tentacle-like trails of gas and newborn stars as it speeds...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope found the most distant “jellyfish galaxy” yet — seen as it was 8.5 billion years ago. It has long gas and star-making trails caused by ram-pressure stripping in a dense cluster, showing the early universe was more turbulent than thought

The world's 1st private space telescope just spotted its 1st star. Here's what it saw. "There are plenty of opportunities for many satellites to do space science."

The world’s first private space telescope, the suitcase-sized Mauve, has captured its first star data after launching on a SpaceX Falcon 9. It will help track nearby stars that may host habitable exoplanets as part of a new commercial astronomy fleet

Two Dog-Walkers Discovered 2,000-Year-Old Footprints—Then the Prints Disappeared Forever It was a race against the elements to record them.

Two dog walkers at Lunan Bay in Scotland spotted 2,000-year-old human and animal footprints exposed by storm-washed sand. Archaeologists rushed to record them with 3D models and casts, but within ~48 hrs waves and wind erased every trace forever

Ancient Microbes Fused Into Earth’s First Complex Cells. Scientists Learned What Made It Possible. Around 1.7 billion years ago, eukaryotes—the building blocks of complex life—first appeared on Earth, and now scientists have solved a longstanding riddle about their origin.

Around 1.7 billion years ago, simple microbes merged into the first complex cells (eukaryotes). New research shows ancestors of eukaryotes could use oxygen, letting them live near and engulf oxygen-using bacteria that became mitochondria — solving a key mystery in how complex life evolved

For the first time, light mimics a Nobel Prize quantum effect Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In their experiment, photons drift sideways in perfectly defined, quantized steps...

Light was made to behave like electrons in the quantum Hall effect, drifting in precise, quantized steps — even though photons don’t respond to magnetic fields — potentially enabling new standards for measurement and quantum photonic tech

Science history: Stephen Hawking writes a tiny paper — and turns our understanding of black holes inside out — March 1, 1974 In 1974, physicist Stephen Hawking described the potential for tiny, primordial black holes that existed at the dawn of time to explode — and reshaped what we knew about these cosmic behemoths.

In 1974, Stephen Hawking published a short paper showing black holes emit tiny amounts of heat and can slowly shrink and even explode — a concept now called Hawking radiation. This upended the idea that nothing can escape a black hole and led to the black hole information paradox
