Astronomers Capture First Detailed View of Hot Gas Swirling Around Black Holes
Japan’s XRISM X-ray observatory has delivered the first detailed maps of hot gas swirling around supermassive black holes in the Virgo and Perseus galaxy clusters. The data reveal intense turbulence, like cosmic storms driven by black hole jets. This churning heats the gas, stopping it from cooling and collapsing into new stars, explaining why cl...

AI Identifies More Than 1,300 Unusual Objects in Hubble Space Telescope Images
Artificial intelligence has combed through decades of Hubble Space Telescope data, revealing hundreds of unusual celestial objects that astronomers had missed. ESA’s AnomalyMatch neural network scanned around 100 million image cutouts in just days, flagging more than 1,300 anomalies. Among them are colliding galaxies, rare gravitational lenses, a...
