Astronomers Witness Rare Failed Supernova in Andromeda Galaxy
NASA’s NEOWISE infrared telescope has provided striking evidence that a massive star in the Andromeda galaxy collapsed directly into a black hole without exploding as a supernova. The star, M31-2014-DS1, faded dramatically in visible light while leaving a faint infrared glow from surrounding dust. Astronomers say this rare “failed supernova” ...

Astronomers Solve the Mystery Behind M87’s Enormous Space Jet
Astronomers have directly linked the supermassive black hole M87* to its enormous plasma jet using new Event Horizon Telescope data. The findings reveal where the jet originates near the black hole’s shadow, providing crucial insight into how black holes launch matter at nearly the speed of light.

Solar Orbiter Watches Sun's Most Hyperactive Region For Record 94 Days: "Milestone In Solar Physics"
The region was monitored from its birth on the far side of the Sun on April 16, 2024, until its decay after July 18, 2024.

Astronomers Look to the Large Magellanic Cloud to Study How Stars Are Born
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby dwarf galaxy glowing with star birth. Just 160,000 light-years away, it hosts vast nebulae like the Tarantula and historic events such as Supernova 1987A, offering astronomers a rare, close-up laboratory to study how stars form, evolve, and explode.

Astronomers Observe Black Hole Twisting Spacetime for the First Time, Confirming Einstein’s Theory
Astronomers have directly observed a black hole twisting spacetime for the first time, confirming Einstein’s long-standing prediction. The effect was detected during a violent stellar destruction event, where repeating X-ray and radio signals revealed a slow cosmic wobble. The discovery provides new insight into black hole spin, jets, and extreme...

Longest Solar Eclipse In 100 Years Is Coming. Here's Where You'll See It
Astronomers worldwide are preparing for a rare total solar eclipse on August 2, 2027, with a peak totality of about 6 minutes and 23 seconds.

JWST Detects Oldest Supernova Ever Seen, Linked to GRB 250314A
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected the oldest supernova ever recorded, tied to gamma-ray burst GRB 250314A. Occurring when the universe was only 730 million years old, the explosion provides a rare glimpse into the first generations of stars and early galaxy growth, highlighting Webb’s unmatched ability to study the di...

Astronomers Spot the Longest Gamma-Ray Burst Ever Seen: What You Need to Know
A powerful gamma-ray burst detected in July 2025 has stunned astronomers by lasting nearly seven hours, making it the longest GRB ever recorded. Named GRB 250702B, the event produced repeated pulses and unusual afterglows, raising theories about rare “middleweight” black holes tearing apart stars in deep space.

Misaligned Exoplanet Is Challenging How We Think Solar Systems Form
Astronomers studying the dwarf-star system TOI-3884b have uncovered a striking anomaly: the planet’s orbit is sharply misaligned with its star’s rotation. Using multicolour transit observations, researchers detected repeated starspot-crossing events that revealed the planet passes over cooler regions on the stellar surface. Follow-up monitoring...
