NASA’s IXPE Challenges Theories on Black Hole Corona and Polarised X-Ray Emissions
NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) has made surprising observations in a black hole binary system, detecting a high degree of X-ray polarisation that challenges current models of corona structure and accretion discs. In X-ray binaries, black holes pull matter from nearby stars, forming hot accretion discs and coronas.

Twisted Jet Confirms Most Extreme Binary Black Hole System in the Universe
Astronomers have confirmed that the blazar OJ 287 hosts the most extreme binary black hole system ever found. Using a global radio telescope array, they captured an ultra-sharp image showing a dramatically bent jet—evidence of two supermassive black holes locked in orbit. The system’s 12-year flare cycle and jet twists match predictions of a sm...

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...

James Webb Telescope Spots Rare ‘Cosmic Owl’ Formed by Colliding Galaxies
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled the “Cosmic Owl,” a jaw-dropping image of two colliding ring galaxies forming a structure that resembles an owl’s face. This double-ring formation is extraordinarily rare, and the event is shedding light on galaxy evolution, black hole dynamics, and rapid star formation. Led by Ph.D. student Mi...

ASKAP Telescope Discovers 15 Massive Giant Radio Galaxies, Largest Objects in the Known Universe
Astronomers using the ASKAP telescope have discovered 15 Giant Radio Galaxies, including one stretching 12.4 million light-years. These vast structures offer new clues about black hole life cycles and jet activity. The unprecedented detail of ASKAP’s deep-sky imaging reveals both ancient and recent radio lobes, opening a new chapter in understand...

NASA's Hubble and Chandra Telescopes Spot Strange Tilted Black Hole
NASA’s Hubble and Chandra telescopes have uncovered a bizarre sideways black hole in the galaxy NGC 5084, located 80 million light-years away. The black hole’s unexpected tilt suggests it may have been influenced by a violent galactic collision. A new image processing technique, SAUNAS, revealed X-ray plumes in the galaxy, hinting at a cosmic e...

Hubble Captures NGC 5643’s Spiral Arms, Star Formation, and Hidden Black Hole
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured detailed images of the spiral galaxy NGC 5643, located 40 million light-years away. This grand design galaxy features striking spiral arms outlined by young blue stars and dust clouds, with star-forming regions visible as pinkish hues. Ultraviolet and X-ray studies have revealed an active galactic nu...

Itel S25 Ultra Price in India, Design, Specifications Leaked; Tipped to Get Unisoc T620 SoC, 5,000mAh Battery
Itel S25 Ultra 4G is expected to go official soon as its pricing details, key specifications, and design have surfaced online through alleged marketing images. The leaked promotional materials suggest three colour options for the phone. The Itel S25 Ultra 4G is seen carrying a triple camera unit on the rear and a hole punch cutout on the display.
