James Brady+FollowBlack Holes Just Got WeirderTurns out, there’s a whole new class of black holes hanging out in the universe—too big to be born from regular stars, but not massive enough to anchor galaxies. Astronomers just found evidence of these 'lite' intermediate-mass black holes, weighing in at 100-300 times the Sun. They might be the missing link between tiny and supermassive black holes, and could totally change what we know about how stars and galaxies grow. Space is full of surprises! #BlackHoles #SpaceNews #Astronomy #Science8421Share
Michael Flores+FollowMonster Comet Is Firing Off Space Jets!A comet the size of a small city (seriously, 85 miles wide!) is zooming toward the inner Solar System and just got caught blasting out huge jets of carbon monoxide. This beast, called UN271, is the biggest Oort Cloud comet ever spotted—14 times bigger than the rock that wiped out the dinos. Don’t freak out: it’ll only get as close as Saturn in 2031. But astronomers are hyped to watch it evolve, even if we’ll need a telescope to catch the show! #SpaceNews #CometWatch #Astronomy #Science170Share
James Brady+FollowAsteroid May Turn Moon Into a Meteor Show!Imagine an asteroid slamming into the Moon and sending a wild shower of space rocks our way! Scientists say asteroid 2024 YR4 has a small chance of hitting the Moon in 2032. If it does, we could see a massive new crater, a stunning meteor shower, and—yikes—thousands of satellites at risk from high-speed lunar shrapnel. Most debris would burn up, but some could mess with our tech in orbit. Space drama, anyone? #SpaceNews #AsteroidAlert #MoonImpact #Science304Share
megangibson+FollowThis Telescope Is Basically a Cosmic Time MachineThe Vera C. Rubin Observatory just dropped its first pics and they’re wild—but that’s just the teaser. This new telescope is about to make a 10-year time-lapse of the entire southern sky, catching everything from exploding stars to rogue asteroids. In just 10 hours of testing, it already found 2,104 new asteroids! Imagine the discoveries when it’s fully up and running. Astronomers are calling it a ‘discovery machine’—and honestly, it’s about to change everything we know about space. #SpaceNews #Astronomy #VeraRubin #Science20Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowEarth Could Get Kicked Out of the Solar System?!Imagine waking up one day and finding out a random star just yeeted Earth out of the solar system. Wild, right? Scientists say it’s technically possible—a passing star could mess with our orbits so much that we either get tossed into deep space or spun into the Sun. Don’t panic though, the odds are super low, but the universe is full of surprises. Guess we really are just tiny passengers on a cosmic rollercoaster! #SpaceNews #ScienceFacts #MindBlown #Science11956Share
megangibson+FollowThis Telescope Just Changed Space ForeverThe Vera C Rubin Observatory in Chile just dropped its first-ever cosmic pics, and they’re wild. This telescope’s camera is so powerful it could spot a golf ball on the Moon! It’s set to scan the southern sky nonstop for 10 years, hunting for killer asteroids, mapping the Milky Way, and maybe even finding that mysterious Planet Nine. Scientists are geeking out—this is a once-in-a-generation leap for astronomy. Imagine getting 10 million space alerts a night! #SpaceNews #Astronomy #VeraRubin #Science90Share
Michael Flores+FollowThis Camera Just Found 2,000+ New AsteroidsThe first images from the Vera Rubin Observatory’s massive new camera are wild—millions of galaxies, nebulae, and over 2,000 never-seen-before asteroids (including some near-Earth ones, but don’t worry, we’re safe). This telescope is about to scan the entire night sky every few nights for a decade, basically making a real-life time-lapse movie of the universe. Can you imagine what else it’ll find? Stay tuned for more cosmic surprises! #SpaceNews #Asteroids #VeraRubin #Science60Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowVenus Isn’t Dead—It’s Still Rumbling!Thought Venus was just a scorched, silent wasteland? Turns out, it’s still shaking things up! NASA’s latest data shows Venus is geologically active right now, with its crust rising, sinking, and even erupting. Those wild coronae scars? Over half are sitting on top of hot, bubbling mantle plumes. Basically, Venus is flexing like Earth’s evil twin, and future missions are about to get a front-row seat to all the drama. Wild, right? #Venus #NASA #SpaceNews #Science90Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowDid NASA Really Find Alien Life?Remember that buzz about NASA spotting signs of life on exoplanet K2-18b? Turns out, it’s not so clear-cut. Scientists thought they found a molecule (DMS) that, on Earth, only comes from marine life. But now, other researchers are poking holes in the claim, saying the data might actually point to something more ordinary, like ethane. Basically, the science world is in full debate mode—so don’t pop the champagne for alien life just yet! #SpaceNews #Exoplanets #JWST #Science256129Share
Michelle York+FollowUniverse Might Hit Reverse?!Remember when we thought the universe would just keep expanding forever? Plot twist: new research says that expansion is actually slowing down! That means the wild Big Crunch theory—where everything in the universe eventually collapses back together—might be back on the table. Scientists are buzzing because this could totally rewrite what we know about the cosmos. Are we headed for a cosmic do-over? Stay tuned, because space just got a lot more dramatic! #BigCrunch #SpaceNews #CosmicDrama #Science7913Share
