The coldest place in the universe is a lab-made cloud, not space itself.

Scientists chilled atoms to near absolute zero (-273°C), beating the natural chill of deep space, which hovers around -270°C.

A year on Venus is shorter than its day because of its retrograde rotation.

Spinning backward, it takes 243 Earth days for one rotation but orbits in 225, flipping our usual sense of time.

The Sun’s magnetic field flips every 11 years, affecting space weather.

This cycle switches its north and south poles, driving solar storms that can zap satellites or light up Earth’s skies.

🕸️ Martian "webs" under the scope of the Curiosity rover.

No, these are not the webs of alien spiders — they are boxwork structures that resemble webs, but are actually the traces of ancient underground water that seeped through the rock.

Curiosity is already drilling into these rocks to collect samples and help geologists understand how this area was formed.

The panorama features 291 images collected from the Mastcam camera from May 15 to May 18, 2025.

💥 Astronomers captured a star that exploded... TWICE for the first time.

A supernova 60,000 light-years away put on a real space show:

• First, the outer helium shell exploded.
• Then the shock wave reached the core, and the second explosion .

The picture was taken with the VLT space telescope in Chile.
