Gemini North tracks changing glow of interstellar Comet 3IATLAS
Tucson AZ (SPX) Dec 16, 2025 Gemini North has obtained new color images of Comet 3I/ATLAS after the interstellar object emerged from behind the Sun on its outbound trajectory from the Solar System. Using the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) on the Gemini North telescope at Maunakea in Hawaii, scientists observed the comet on 26 November 2025 to study how it has evolved since perihelion. The observations were conducted as part of a Shadow the Scientists session, an outreach program that connects students and the public ... read more |

DEVILS survey maps how galaxy environments shape their evolution
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Nov 27, 2025 A team at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research has released new data from the Deep Extragalactic Visible Legacy Survey showing that a galaxy's local environment has a major impact on how it evolves. DEVILS is an extensive galaxy evolution survey that combines observations from multiple ground and space-based telescopes to analyse hundreds of thousands of galaxies. It focuses on systems seen as they were up to five billion years ago and tracks how their properties change to the pre ... read more 
Gamma-ray observation may provide first direct evidence for dark matterTokyo, Japan (SPX) Nov 26, 2025 In the 1930s, astronomer Fritz Zwicky noted that galaxies moved faster than expected for their visible mass, suggesting an unseen matter now known as dark matter. Since then, dark matter remained un ... more |
