Astronomers Spot Signs of Baby Planets in a Star’s Mysterious Disk
Astronomers using Keck Observatory have imaged the dusty disk around HD 34282, a young star about 400 light-years away, revealing bright clumps and a 40 AU gap—clear signs of planet formation. The system provides a rare glimpse into early planetary birth, helping refine models of how gas and dust evolve into new worlds.

Tiny Red Dots Spotted By NASA’s James Webb Telescope Could Be Black Hole Stars
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope revealed mysterious “little red dots” that seem too bright and mature for their age. A new study suggests they may be black hole stars—giant hydrogen spheres powered by black holes—helping explain the rapid growth of early supermassive black holes.

Mysterious Light Spiral Over Europe Traced to SpaceX Falcon 9 Reentry
On March 24, a glowing spiral appeared in the night sky across parts of Europe, including the UK, Sweden, Croatia, Poland, and Hungary. The formation lasted for about 12 minutes before fading. Experts confirmed it was caused by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket reentering Earth's atmosphere after completing its mission. The phenomenon resulted from frozen f...

NASA’s Chandra Telescope Observes Mysterious 'Knots' Blasting from Nearby Black Hole Jets
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has unveiled mysterious "knots" in the jet of a supermassive black hole in Centaurus A, a nearby galaxy. These bright, fast-moving features exhibit a higher speed in X-rays than in radio wavelengths, hinting at unexplored physics in black hole jets. Despite financial uncertainties surrounding Chandra's operations,...
