Euclid found 31 exceptionally early quasars—including two new record holders
The objects were already blazing when the universe was about 670 million years old, sharpening the puzzle of early black-hole growth.

Space & Astronomy Preliminary evidence
JWST observations point to a black hole wrapped in dense gas at cosmic dawn
An unusual source 660 million years after the Big Bang fits a proposed rapid-growth configuration, but the interpretation is model-based.
Space & Astronomy Preliminary evidence
Curiosity found a field of honeycomb-like textures on Mars
NASA rover observations revealed a broad polygonal pattern whose geometry could preserve clues about ancient fluids and rock alteration.
Space & Astronomy Moderate evidence
Hubble detected a wake associated with Betelgeuse’s elusive companion
Ultraviolet observations revealed a trail through the red supergiant’s extended atmosphere, offering indirect evidence for a close companion.
Space & Astronomy Preliminary evidence
Webb found chemical clues to comet 3I/ATLAS’s distant origin
Infrared spectra of the interstellar comet revealed a volatile composition that can be compared with material formed around other stars.
Space & Astronomy Moderate evidence
Hubble observations indicate a comet reversed its spin direction
Archival data suggest outgassing torques slowed comet 41P and then pushed its rotation through a stop into the opposite direction.
Space & Astronomy Moderate evidence
Lucy revealed a wobbling, peanut-shaped asteroid
Spacecraft imaging of Donaldjohanson showed a contact-binary shape and non-simple rotation that record a complicated collision history.
Space & Astronomy Preliminary evidence
Hubble examined Cloud-9, a candidate starless galaxy
The compact hydrogen cloud appears dominated by dark matter yet contains no detected stars, potentially representing a long-predicted type of object.
Space & Astronomy Preliminary evidence
TESS found a super-Jupiter through subtle timing ripples
Astronomers used small variations in a stellar companion’s timing signal to infer a planet in a configuration difficult to find with standard transit searches.
Space & Astronomy Strong evidence
Pristine asteroid samples contain complex nitrogen-rich organic material
Bennu’s chemistry expands the inventory of compounds that formed before planets matured. It does not show that life existed on the asteroid.
