Michael Flores+FollowZombie Satellite Sends Wild Signal!Imagine thinking you’ve found a wild new cosmic mystery, only to realize it’s a 60-year-old dead satellite zapping out a radio signal so strong it outshined everything else in the sky! Aussie astronomers thought they’d spotted something from deep space, but it turned out to be NASA’s ancient Relay 2 satellite pulling a static-charged stunt. Space junk is getting weird, and now scientists have to watch out for these surprise signals when hunting for real galactic fireworks. #SpaceJunk #Astronomy #ScienceNews #Science80Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowAncient Space Radio Signals Unlocked!Astronomers just picked up 10-billion-year-old radio signals from a galaxy cluster way out in space—and it’s blowing their minds. These signals, called mini-halos, have never been found this far before and could totally change what we know about how the universe formed. The wild part? Scientists think these could be from either supermassive black holes spitting out energy or cosmic particle collisions. Basically, we’re only starting to uncover how wild and energetic the early universe really was! #SpaceDiscovery #Astronomy #ScienceNews #Science413Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowSatellites Photobomb Gemini Telescope!Did you see this wild space pic? The Gemini North Telescope in Hawaii snapped a shot where three satellites streaked across the sky, literally forming a triangle right above it! Even at 13,825 feet up, these telescopes can’t escape the satellite traffic jam. Astronomers are now racing to track all these satellites so they can keep getting those epic universe shots. Space is getting crowded! #SpacePhoto #GeminiTelescope #Astronomy #Science50Share
martinezlaura+FollowGiant Planet Found with Einstein’s Trick!Astronomers just spotted a massive Jupiter-sized planet, AT2021uey b, chilling 3,200 light-years away at our galaxy’s edge! What’s wild? They used Einstein’s theory (microlensing!) to catch its shadow—this method’s only been used three times before. The planet takes over 11 years to orbit its star. Imagine finding a planet by watching how its gravity bends light, like spotting a bird by its shadow. Space is seriously next-level detective work! #SpaceDiscovery #Astronomy #Einstein #Science431Share
James Brady+FollowWe Finally Saw the Universe’s Skeleton!Space isn’t just empty darkness—it’s actually laced with a ‘cosmic web’ that ties galaxies together, and astronomers just snapped the first direct image of one of its filaments! Picture a faint bridge of hydrogen stretching 3 million light-years between two ancient quasars. This is like seeing the universe’s secret scaffolding for the first time, confirming how galaxies grow and how dark matter shapes everything. It’s wild to think the universe is stitched together by invisible threads! #CosmicWeb #Astronomy #SpaceNews #Science20Share
Michael Flores+FollowTiny Star, Giant Planet?!A massive planet just got spotted orbiting a tiny red dwarf star, and astronomers are shook. TOI-6894b is way bigger than you’d expect for a star this small—like, the math just doesn’t add up! Scientists have a few wild theories: maybe the planet formed far away and moved in, or maybe the star’s dusty disc just went rogue. Either way, this is a cosmic mystery and the James Webb Space Telescope is about to get all up in its business. Space is wild, y’all! #SpaceMystery #Exoplanets #Astronomy #Science231Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowMeet Quipu: The Universe’s New GiantAstronomers just found a cosmic filament so huge, it makes the Shapley Superstructure look tiny. Quipu stretches 1.3 billion light-years and weighs 200 quadrillion suns! It’s packed with galaxies, hot gas, and dark matter, and it’s so massive it actually tweaks how we measure the universe’s expansion. Basically, Quipu is the backbone of our cosmic neighborhood—and it might even be hiding more secrets behind the Milky Way’s dust. Wild, right? #SpaceNews #Astronomy #CosmicWeb #Science110Share
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
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
