Lyrid Meteor Shower Peaks with Reduced Visibility Due to Moonlight
The Lyrid meteor shower, peaking the night of April 21–22, offers a modest display of approximately five meteors per hour in the Northern Hemisphere due to moonlight interference, despite originating from Comet Thatcher and being observable for 2,700 years.

Russia's "Millimetron" Radio Telescope: A New Window into the Universe
Russia is developing "Millimetron", a space-based radio telescope aiming to make groundbreaking discoveries in astrophysics by observing at longer wavelengths than Hubble and James Webb, allowing it to penetrate dust clouds and study galactic centers and exoplanets for signs of water and life, with ...

Total Solar Eclipse 2033: Alaska and Bering Strait
A total solar eclipse will cross Alaska and the Bering Strait on March 30, 2033, offering up to 2 minutes 37 seconds of totality in select locations, with a partial eclipse visible in 45 U.S. states; the unique positioning of the Diomede Islands—split by the International Date Line—could allow for t...

Planet's Death Plunge into Star: Webb Telescope Reveals New Details
New James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal a planet's demise 12,000 light-years away in the Aquila constellation, caused by a death plunge into its star due to orbital decay, contradicting earlier theories. The event ejected hot gas and dust, observable by Webb.

Asteroid 2024 YR4: Hockey-Puck Shaped Space Rock Poses Low Risk to Moon
Asteroid 2024 YR4, initially posing a small risk of impacting Earth in 2032, is now found to have a 3.8% chance of impacting the moon on December 22, 2032; observations reveal it originated from the central main asteroid belt, is solid rock shaped like a hockey puck, and is about 200 feet wide.

Imminent Explosion of T Coronae Borealis Predicted
The T Coronae Borealis star system, or "Blaze Star," located 3,000 light-years away, is predicted to explode soon, potentially reaching a magnitude of +2 and becoming visible to the naked eye, a rare event given the last explosion occurred in 1946.
