Scientists Trace Rare Cosmic Outburst to a Massive Planetary Collision Around Gaia20ehk
Astronomers have reported evidence of two planets colliding around a distant Sun-like star, Gaia20ehk, located about 11,000 light-years away. The star's light output remained steady until 2016, when it exhibited three minor dimming events; by 2021, the light curve reportedly "went completely bonkers." Follow-up infrared observations revealed a burs...

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.

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...
