The Universe’s Brightest Lights Have Surprisingly Dark and Mysterious Origins
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has revealed that some of the universe’s brightest light sources originate near supermassive black holes in galaxy centres. These active galactic nuclei emit intense radiation, including gamma rays and X-rays, despite black holes themselves being invisible. Their powerful jets and high-energy emissions cha...

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Helps Confirm the First Solitary Black Hole
In the Sagittarius constellation, a lone and first-ever solitary black hole has been discovered by a team of scientists. Although the discovery began in the year 2011, the observations have confirmed it recently. The size of this black hole is as massive as seven times of the sun. Despite the conflicts and differences of observations by another tea...

JWST Identifies Cooling Gas in Phoenix Cluster, Unlocking Star Formation Process
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected the missing cooling gas in the Phoenix Cluster, a galaxy cluster located 5.8 billion light-years away. Researchers used the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) to identify gas at around 540,000 degrees Fahrenheit trapped in cavities within the cluster. This discovery resolves a long-standing mystery of how sta...

James Webb Space Telescope Captures Sagittarius A Emitting Continuous Flares in Milky Way’s Core
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, emitting flares continuously. These bursts, varying in intensity and duration, have been observed over multiple sessions. Scientists believe the activity may be linked to magnetic interactions within the accretion disk. The phenomenon appears rand...

Webb Telescope Unveils Hidden Process Behind Star Formation in Phoenix Cluster
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered the missing link in star formation within the Phoenix galaxy cluster. By mapping intermediate-temperature gas, researchers identified a crucial phase of cooling that was previously undetected. This discovery explains why the cluster’s supermassive black hole does not fully prevent star formation, ...

NASA's Hubble and Chandra Telescopes Spot Strange Tilted Black Hole
NASA’s Hubble and Chandra telescopes have uncovered a bizarre sideways black hole in the galaxy NGC 5084, located 80 million light-years away. The black hole’s unexpected tilt suggests it may have been influenced by a violent galactic collision. A new image processing technique, SAUNAS, revealed X-ray plumes in the galaxy, hinting at a cosmic e...
