NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has found a record-breaking supernova. This star explosion happened when the universe was only about 730 million years old. That makes it the earliest supernova ever directly seen by scientists. The discovery started in mid-March. A telescope called SVOM, run by French and Chinese scientists, first spotted a quick flash of gamma rays. Gamma-ray bursts are extremely bright but very short bursts of radiation. They often signal the violent death of a massive star. The flash lasted about 10 seconds. This matched the pattern of a “long” gamma-ray burst, which is commonly linked to a…

A comet from another star system is acting strangely. It is named 3I/ATLAS. Scientists have noticed it pulses like a heartbeat. Its light gets brighter and dimmer in a steady rhythm. This pattern repeats every 16.16 hours. This has caused a lot of talk online. Some people wondered if this pulse could affect Jupiter’s moon, Callisto. They asked if it could send energy that way. Scientists say this is completely false. The comet’s pulse is not dangerous. It does not change the comet’s path. It does not send force or radiation to any planets. It will not come close to…
