Astronomers has discovered SN 2025wny, the first spatially resolved, gravitationally lensed superluminous supernova ever observed. The discovery provides a striking confirmation of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity and a rare window into a powerful stellar explosion from the early Universe.
Researchers at Stockholm University have uncovered surprising insights into a large, previously unstudied group of bacteria, some originating from Swedish lakes. The findings reveal how bacterial lifecycles have evolved and even reversed their complexity over time. The study is published in Nature Communications.

In December 2025, the international research expedition iQ2300 departed for Antarctica. The goal is to find out how climate change has affected Antarctica’s vast ice masses in order to better predict future sea levels.
In a new study, led by Giacomo Bortolini from the Department of Astronomy at Stockholm University, a collision of two dwarf galaxies has been observed in exquisite detail. By using the power of the James Webb Space Telescope individual stars in the galaxies can be found and characterized which helps us understand how the interaction between the colliding partners affects them. The data from the study was also used to produce a beautiful image featured as the European Space Agency Picture of the Month for November 2025.
