Study Suggests Primordial Black Hole Burst as Source of Detected High-Energy Neutrino
A groundbreaking MIT study suggests that a primordial black hole explosion may have produced the most energetic neutrino ever detected. Researchers argue that as these ancient black holes shrink through Hawking radiation, they eventually explode, sending out powerful particles.

Astronomers Observe Rare Supernova–Black Hole Interaction in Early Stages
In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers observed SN 2023zkd, a supernova that may have been triggered by close interaction with a black hole. Featuring unusual brightness peaks and extended pre-explosion activity, the event offers new insights into star black hole dynamics. Real-time AI detection played a key role, and upcoming surveys promise t...

Brightest Gamma-Ray Burst Ever Observed Reveals Cosmic Secrets
On October 9, 2022, astronomers detected GRB 221009A, the most powerful gamma-ray burst ever recorded, earning the nickname “BOAT” (Brightest Of All Time). This rare, once-in-10,000-year event came from a galaxy 2 billion light-years away and temporarily blinded gamma-ray detectors. It revealed new insights into stellar death, as the associated...

Einstein Probe Detects Mysterious X-ray Flare with Record-Long Emission
An international team of astronomers has detected a peculiar fast-evolving X-ray transient, EP241021a, using China’s Einstein Probe. Unveiled in a May 12 arXiv paper, this transient stood out due to its long-lasting emissions lasting over 79 days—unprecedented among FEXTs. EP241021a also produced optical and radio emissions, suggesting a multi-...

Supernova Remnants Found in Oceanic Samples, Scientists Look to Moon
Scientists have identified supernova debris in deep-sea sediments, including a rare plutonium isotope linked to a kilonova. Researchers believe a neutron star collision occurred nearly 10 million years ago, scattering radioactive material across space. To validate this theory, they plan to analyze lunar soil, which remains undisturbed by Earth's ge...

Unusual X-ray Flash in Large Magellanic Cloud Puzzles Astronomers
A brief yet intense X-ray flash, XRT 200515, was detected in NASA's Chandra telescope data from 2000. The signal, originating from the Large Magellanic Cloud, has left scientists debating its cause. Possible explanations include a neutron star pulling in gas from a companion star or a powerful flare from a distant magnetar. Researchers also specula...

Hubble Spots Distant Supernova in Gemini, Enhancing Cosmic Distance Studies
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of SN 2022aajn, a Type Ia supernova in the constellation Gemini. Located 600 million light-years away, the explosion was first detected in November 2022. Type Ia supernovae serve as essential cosmic distance markers due to their predictable brightness. Hubble’s observations, part o...

Vera C. Rubin Observatory to Detect Millions of Exploding Stars
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, set to begin its 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) later this year, will track millions of Type Ia supernovae to advance our understanding of dark energy. These supernovae, resulting from white dwarf stars in binary systems, will be studied in detail to provide crucial data on the universe’s acceleratin...
