Scientists Identify Rare Black Hole Merger in the Early Universe Using Gravitational Mapping
Astronomers have identified two merging supermassive black hole systems named Gondor and Rohan using a new method combining quasars and gravitational wave background signals. The discovery offers a fresh way to map black hole mergers and understand galaxy evolution and cosmic gravitational waves in a clearer and more systematic manner.

JWST Uncovers the Origins of the Universe’s First Supermassive Black Holes
James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal that the earliest supermassive black holes formed from massive gas clouds collapsing directly into heavy seeds. This process bypassed normal star formation, allowing black holes to reach millions of solar masses within just 200–500 million years after the Big Bang, solving a long-standing cosmic myst...

New Dark Matter Simulation Could Change How Galaxies Are Thought to Evolve
Scientists at the Perimeter Institute have developed a new simulation code, KISS-SIDM, to study self-interacting dark matter. The tool shows how rare dark matter interactions can heat and collapse galaxy halos, potentially explaining dense galactic cores and the early formation of supermassive black holes.

A Massive Black Hole Starved Pablo’s Galaxy, Ending Its Star Formation
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA have uncovered how a massive black hole shut down star formation in Pablo’s Galaxy. Powerful winds expelled gas at hundreds of kilometres per second, leaving almost no cold fuel behind. The findings suggest many early galaxies did not die explosively, but were slowly starved by their centr...

Astronomers Discover Shockingly Hot Young Galaxy Cluster That Defies Theory
Astronomers have identified an exceptionally hot galaxy cluster forming just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang. Observations reveal gas temperatures far exceeding theoretical limits, suggesting an unexpectedly violent early formation. The discovery challenges standard models of galaxy cluster evolution and points to intense activity from starbur...

NASA Finds Most Distant Calm Galaxy Cluster Ever Seen in Early Universe
Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered SPT-CL J2215-3537, a massive galaxy cluster located 8.4 billion light-years away. Nicknamed the “Champagne Supernova” cluster, it is the most distant relaxed cluster ever observed, showing no signs of recent collisions. Its calm structure and active star formation challenge ex...

JWST Spots Most Distant Supernova Ever, From 730 Million Years After Big Bang
Scientists have confirmed the most distant supernova ever observed, exploding just 730 million years after the Big Bang. Detected through a powerful gamma-ray burst and later verified by the James Webb Space Telescope, the event offers a rare glimpse of the deaths of the universe’s first stars during the era of reionisation and challenges expecta...

Study Reveals Ancient 26-Foot Shark Lived 115 Million Years Ago, Before Megalodon
This discovery highlights the enormous size and predatory dominance of ancient sharks and provides scientists with a new perspective on the early evolution of the ancestors of today's great white sharks.

New Discovery Rewrites Timeline Of When Humans Learned To Make Fire
A major archaeological discovery in Suffolk shows that early Neanderthals were making fire about 400,000 years ago, pushing back the timeline of fire mastery and reshaping understanding of human evolution.
