Scientists Create Most Detailed Radio Map of Early Universe Using MWA
Scientists using the Murchison Widefield Array in Australia analyzed nine years of radio data to study the elusive 21-cm hydrogen signal from the universe’s dark ages. Their findings suggest early black holes and stars had already heated cosmic gas, marking the first observational evidence of this warming phase.

Black Hole Tears Star Apart, Sends Out Powerful Flares Six Months Later
Astronomers detected a black hole 650 million light-years away devouring a star and then erupting twice with powerful flares months later. Observed by the Zwicky Transient Facility and tracked by ALMA and the VLA, this rare off-centre event hints at a rogue black hole cast out from its host galaxy.

Dark Matter Might Leave A Faint Colour Mark In Light, Say Scientists
Dark matter, though invisible, might subtly alter the colour of light passing through it, according to a new University of York study. Researchers propose that weak particle interactions could create faint red or blue tints, offering a new path for future telescopes to detect dark matter indirectly.

Pulsar Observations Could Reveal Gravitational Wave Interference From Black Holes
A new study proposes detecting gravitational-wave “beats” using pulsar timing. Researchers from Hirosaki University suggest that interference between waves from supermassive black hole binaries could appear as periodic variations in pulsar signals. The method may help distinguish individual sources from a diffuse gravitational-wave background i...

Forged In Fire, Worn In Festivity: Gold Is Actually Stardust from Dying Stars
This festive season, as we adorn ourselves with gold and silver, few realise that these precious metals were born in the fiery deaths of ancient stars - cosmic remnants scattered across the universe, now resting in our hands as ornaments of celestial

Physicists Predict When Life On Earth Will End In A Reverse Big Bang
A new study predicts the Universe will stop expanding in 11 billion years and collapse in a "Big Crunch" around 20 billion years from now.

Rubin Observatory Adopts New AI Algorithm to Enhance Cosmic Imaging
Scientists have developed ImageMM, an algorithm tested on Hawaii’s Subaru Telescope and soon to be used at the Rubin Observatory. The system reduces atmospheric blur, producing sharper images for studying galaxies and dark matter. Researchers believe the technique could make ground-based astronomy nearly as precise as space telescopes

Deep-Sea Beryllium-10 Hints at Supernova Debris Reaching Earth 10 Million Years Ago
A new study has uncovered deep-sea evidence suggesting Earth may have been struck by debris from a nearby exploding star 10 million years ago. Scientists found unusually high levels of Beryllium-10 in Pacific crusts, consistent with a supernova origin. The findings could transform understanding of cosmic influences on Earth’s history, though terr...

James Webb Telescope Unveils Hidden Star-Forming Regions in Sagittarius B2
New JWST observations reveal the hidden star-forming activity inside Sagittarius B2, the Milky Way’s largest molecular cloud. By seeing through dense dust, astronomers can study how stars form efficiently in extreme environments. These findings help explain not only Sgr B2 but also broader mechanisms shaping galaxies.

iPhone 17 Pro Max Review: A Supercar Engine in Your Pocket
At a starting price of Rs. 149,900, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is more expensive than the 16 Pro Max at launch. However, it also incorporates more updates under the hood compared to its predecessor. The upgrades include a refreshed rear design, a new telephoto and selfie camera onboard, and the best-ever iPhone battery life. Anyone still using an iPhone...

NASA’s James Webb Telescope May Have Found First Black Hole Star, Known as ‘The Cliff’
JWST detected “The Cliff,” a candidate black hole star with a black hole core wrapped in a luminous gas shell. This discovery offers insights into black hole formation, stellar evolution, and cosmic dynamics, prompting astronomers to search for similar objects across the universe.
