Chandra’s New X-Ray Mapping Exposes the Invisible Engines Powering Galaxy Clusters
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has released stunning colour-coded galaxy cluster images that reveal shock waves, cooling gas, and cavities carved by supermassive black holes. By separating X-ray light into different energy bands, astronomers can now visualise hidden cosmic processes that shape the universe’s largest structures and control how...

Galaxy Collisions Found to Activate Supermassive Black Holes, Euclid Data Shows
Astronomers using ESA’s Euclid telescope and AI analysis have found that merging galaxies are significantly more likely to host active supermassive black holes. The gravitational chaos of a collision drives gas toward the galactic core, igniting AGN activity. This discovery strengthens the link between galaxy interactions and the energetic proces...

ESA Telescopes Capture Ultra-Fast Winds Blasting From Distant Supermassive Black Hole
Astronomers have witnessed an extraordinary black hole outburst in the galaxy NGC 3783, where material was blasted into space at nearly 20% the speed of light. Triggered by an intense X-ray flare, the ultra-fast winds reveal how supermassive black holes can violently shape their surroundings and influence the evolution of entire galaxies.

Star-Eating Black Hole Unleashes Record-Setting Energetic Flare
Scientists are observing the most energetic flare ever seen emanating from a supermassive black hole, apparently caused when this celestial beast shredded and swallowed a huge star that strayed too close.

Russian Researchers Discover 11 New Active Galactic Nuclei In Spektr-RG X-ray Survey
In a significant step for extragalactic astronomy, researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences have identified 11 new active galactic nuclei (AGNs) through the ART-XC telescope aboard the Spektr-RG space observatory. These AGNs, classified as Seyfert galaxies, span redshifts from 0.028 to 0.258 and display X-ray luminosities typical for the pr...

NASA Solves Black Hole Jet X-ray Mystery with IXPE’s Polarization Powers
NASA’s IXPE satellite may have solved a longstanding astrophysical mystery: how are X-rays produced in the extreme jets of supermassive black holes? By observing the blazar BL Lacertae, IXPE recorded low X-ray polarization versus very high optical polarization—confirming Compton scattering as the likely mechanism. This breakthrough supports the...

In Madhya Pradesh, A Quota Blackhole For Other Backward Castes
The Other Backward Classes or OBC community, despite comprising over half the population of Madhya Pradesh, remains entangled in a web of administrative delays and broken promises when it comes to reservation.

A Supermassive Blackhole Is Pointing Directly At Earth And Sending Powerful Radiation: Scientists
A team of international astronomers have reclassified a galaxy after finding that a supermassive black hole in its centre has changed direction and is now aiming towards the Earth.

Wormholes May Be Hiding In Plain Sight, Says Study, Demonstrates How
Predictions suggest that wormholes and black holes may have almost identical polarised light spectra, making it challenging to discern between these astronomical objects.

"A Game Changer": Indian Scientists Praise First-Ever Blackhole Images
"This is the first direct evidence of a black hole. That way, it is a game changer," said one of the Indian scientists.

Massive Black Hole Discovered Near Heart Of The Milky Way
A huge blackhole - about 100,000 times more massive than our Sun - has been discovered lurking in a toxic gas cloud near the heart of the Milky Way.

Astronomers Piece Together First Image Of Black Hole
After training a network of telescopes stretching from Hawaii to Antarctica to Spain at the heart of our galaxy for five nights running, astronomers said Wednesday they may have snapped the first-ever picture of a black hole.

Astronomers Are Trying To Take The First Picture Of A Black Hole
By its very nature, the black hole at the heart of our galaxy is impossible to spot. Its overwhelming gravity allows nothing to escape, not even light. Massive enough to send shivers through space-time itself, yet perfectly invisible, it lurks in the darkness like a monster from a child's nightmare - felt but unseen.
