CMS directly observes a particle wake in quark–gluon plasma, Rubin finds a distant dwarf-planet candidate, an ancient meteorite records watery Mars, and Super-K reports a possible cosmic neutrino glow.

Webb's COSMOS-Web survey maps 12,523 probable cosmic filaments, while new results probe an alien atmosphere, a blinking galaxy, and icy grains from interstellar space.

This week in science: a cluster collision revives a giant radio phoenix, zero-photon imaging uses missing clicks, XRISM maps iron dust, the CMB reveals cluster motion, and Webb finds a line with no visible source.

This week in science: Webb traces the most distant known fast radio burst, IceCube earns the 2026 Physics Nobel, nuclear clocks begin ticking, Artemis II sees lunar impacts, and Hubble finds a possible second-generation planet.

The 2026 Physics Nobel recognizes Francis Halzen’s decisive contributions to IceCube—the Antarctic observatory that transformed a cubic kilometer of ice into a new way to study the universe.

When to watch the deep August 27–28, 2026 partial lunar eclipse, why 93% and 96% are both reported, and why the Moon may turn red.

Why the 2026 Perseids peak August 12–13, how Swift–Tuttle’s debris creates meteors at 59 km/s, and the best way to watch.
