ESA’s Hera has reached Didymos and Dimorphos, with new close-up views and JAXA thermal images showing the smaller asteroid cooling in shadow. The mission now investigates what NASA’s DART impact changed.
Two newly confirmed asteroids and a candidate in Neptune’s trailing Trojan cloud offer the clearest view yet of a population long obscured by the crowded star fields toward the Milky Way’s centre.
LHCb has found evidence for a B⁰ meson decaying into two muons, a process expected roughly once in ten billion decays. The combined signal reaches 3.2 sigma, but it is evidence, not a discovery.
A physics-based image-processing method has recovered a known giant planet from JWST observations that standard starlight subtraction left unresolved.
China has confirmed a Pakistani payload specialist for Shenzhou-24 and a return aboard Shenzhou-23. The astronaut’s identity and the launch date remain officially unannounced.
Mio’s science observations are scheduled to begin in April 2027. Its MSASI instrument will map sodium in Mercury’s ultra-thin exosphere—not take conventional surface photographs—and no public first-image date has been specified.
ESO researchers observed two separated gas rings around white dwarf J1328−1450. Unseen rocky bodies may explain the gap, but the planets themselves have not been directly imaged.
A 29 October gamma-ray burst was recorded by Fermi, SVOM and other observatories. Early spectra suggest redshift 3.27, but preliminary measurements are not a final explanation of the explosion.
