James Webb Space Telescope Reimagines Hubble’s Deep Field, Unveils Ancient Galaxies
The James Webb Space Telescope has re-imaged part of Hubble’s Ultra Deep Field, revealing over 2,500 galaxies in stunning infrared detail. Using its NIRCam and MIRI instruments, Webb observed faint galaxies dating back to just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. This is part of the JADES survey, which includes the deepest mid-infrared...

JWST Finds Black Hole Between Galaxy Cores, Hinting at Rare Direct Collapse Birth
Using JWST, astronomers discovered a black hole between two galaxy cores in the Infinity Galaxy—possibly the first direct evidence of a black hole formed by gas collapse, not stellar death. This rare “heavy seed” black hole challenges standard models and could help explain how supermassive black holes appeared so soon after the Big Bang.

Astronomers Capture Planet Birth Around Baby Sun Outside Solar System
Astronomers have discovered the earliest seeds of rocky planets forming in the gas around a baby sun-like star, providing a precious peek into the dawn of our own solar system.

NASA’s Hubble and Webb Discover Bursting Star Formation in Small Magellanic Cloud
NASA’s Hubble and Webb telescopes have captured spectacular images of NGC 460 and NGC 456, two star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud. These young, open clusters are filled with massive, hot stars that trigger new star formation by carving nebulae. The findings provide insights into early universe conditions and interstellar medium behaviour...

Hubble Telescope Captures NGC 4536, a Starburst Galaxy with Intense Star Formation
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a striking image of NGC 4536, a starburst galaxy 50 million light-years away in the Virgo constellation. The galaxy’s sweeping spiral arms are filled with young blue star clusters and ionized hydrogen gas, indicating rapid star formation. Astronomers believe its bar-like structure channels gas toward t...

Astronomers Capture Supermassive Black Hole Plasma Jets at Birth
For the first time, plasma jets from a supermassive black hole have been observed in real time. Located 270 million light-years away in galaxy 1ES 1927+654, the jets traveled at one-third the speed of light. Emerging in 2024 after a radio flare in 2023, the jets broke through dense gas near the black hole, which has a mass 1.4 billion times that of...

Hidden Supermassive Black Holes Found Behind Gas and Dust Across the Universe
Supermassive black holes, which feed on surrounding material, may be more common than earlier believed. Researchers suggest that nearly 30%-50% of these black holes could be concealed behind dense gas and dust, making them invisible to standard telescopes. The study, based on infrared observations, sheds light on how these entities influence star f...

James Webb and Chandra Capture Images of Star Clusters in Distant Galaxies
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory have unveiled stunning new images of two star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud. NGC 602, located approximately 200,000 light-years from Earth, showcases active star formation, with dust clouds and ionised gas revealing unique stellar birth conditions. Meanwhile, NGC 2264 featur...

NASA's Webb and Hubble Capture Spooky, ‘Blood-Soaked Eyes’ Galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207
NASA's Hubble and James Webb telescopes have captured the breathtaking merger of galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207, located 80 million light-years away. This captivating process, described as a “blood-soaked” cosmic dance, showcases the ongoing star formation occurring between the galaxies as they interact. With an impressive rate of star birth and...

Supermassive Black Holes Might Be Responsible for the Death of a Galaxy, Says Study
Supermassive black holes might be influencing galactic star formation and triggering the death of galaxies, claims a new stuy. Recent research has shed light on how the birth and death of a galaxy, also known as galactic cycle occurs. This study reveals that the mass of a supermassive black hole can significantly impact the amount of cold gas avail...
