Japan recovered 50 metric tons of deep-sea mud near Minamitori Island in a world-first mining trial completed in February. Officials reported that medium and heavy rare earths make up 54% of the rare earth content, as the nation pushes to secure domestic critical mineral supplies amid tightening Chinese export controls. Chikyu Deep-Sea Mining Mission Near … Read more
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers observed a cool gas river feeding a supermassive black hole in galaxy NGC 4696, 145 million light-years away. The findings reveal a self-regulating cosmic recycling system where energy jets heat gas that later cools, flows along filaments, and returns to fuel the black hole. Inside the Eight-Hour JWST … Read more
Deep in the early universe, where gigantic web-like structures of gas and galaxies intersect, a peculiar galactic object is defying cosmic expectations. Known formally as MQN01 J004131.9-493704, the galaxy has earned the informal moniker of the red potato because of its appearance in imaging captured by space-based telescopes. While surrounded by a massive reservoir of … Read more

Astronomers using a new three-dimensional model have found that the Sun contains more silver than previous estimates indicated. The findings, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, resolve a long-standing mismatch between solar composition and the chemical makeup of primitive meteorites. Even though these elements are present in trace amounts, they are crucial for understanding how stars … Read more
