Russian Researchers Discover 11 New Active Galactic Nuclei In Spektr-RG X-ray Survey
In a significant step for extragalactic astronomy, researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences have identified 11 new active galactic nuclei (AGNs) through the ART-XC telescope aboard the Spektr-RG space observatory. These AGNs, classified as Seyfert galaxies, span redshifts from 0.028 to 0.258 and display X-ray luminosities typical for the pr...

ESA’s Euclid Telescope Releases First Data, Mapping 26 Million Galaxies
ESA’s Euclid telescope has released its first dataset, mapping 26 million galaxies within a week. The observations include deep-field images, a survey of 380,000 galaxies, and 500 new gravitational lens candidates. Scientists will continue tracking cosmic evolution over six years. The dataset, currently 35 terabytes, is expected to grow to 2 peta...

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, ...

Astronomers Spot Hundreds of Hidden Supermassive Black Holes Using Infrared
Hundreds of hidden supermassive black holes have been identified using infrared observations, offering fresh insights into their role in galaxy formation. Researchers relied on data from NASA's Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) and the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) to detect emissions from black holes obscured by thick clouds ...

Astronomers Uncover New Details of CIZA0107 Galaxy Cluster Merger with VLA
A team of astronomers, led by Emma Schwartzmann from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, used the Very Large Array (VLA) to study the nearby galaxy cluster merger CIZA J0107.7+5408 (CIZA0107). The observations provided new insights into the dynamics of galaxy mergers, revealing a disturbed system with two subclusters and diffuse radio emission span...

Astronomers Spot New Cosmic Explosions 100 Times Brighter Than the Sun
Astronomers have discovered a new class of cosmic explosions, known as 'millinovas,' which are 100 times brighter than the Sun. These events, first identified in 2023, were observed in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. The millinovas are thought to occur when white dwarfs feed off a companion star, prod...

ISRO’s AstroSat Observes First-Ever Nuclear Explosion in Andromeda Galaxy
Using the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) aboard ISRO’s AstroSat, scientists have identified far-ultraviolet emissions from 42 novae in the Andromeda Galaxy. This marks the first detection of such emissions during their outbursts, offering new insights into the processes of stellar explosions. Four of these novae were observed in real-time a...

Cosmic Survey Reveals Surge of Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies
A cosmic survey using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument has identified over 2,500 active black holes in dwarf galaxies, tripling previous estimates. Conducted by the University of Utah’s Ragadeepika Pucha, the research has also uncovered nearly 300 intermediate-mass black holes, quadrupling their known population. This milestone discovery ...

Astronomers Identify Black Hole Consuming Matter 40 Times Its Theoretical Limit
Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have discovered LID-568, a black hole that is consuming matter at a rate over 40 times the theoretical Eddington limit. This discovery, made in a galaxy formed only 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, sheds light on how supermassive black holes might have evolved rapidly in the early universe. R...

Milky Way Could Be Part of a Much Larger Cosmic Structure, Possibly Linked to the Shapley Concentration
A new study reveals that the Milky Way might be part of a much larger cosmic structure known as the Shapley Concentration, which is up to ten times larger than the previously identified Laniākea Supercluster. This finding challenges our understanding of the galaxy’s position in the universe and could mean that Laniākea is just an outer section ...

Google Spotted Testing Circle to Search Music Identification Feature With Ability to Recognise Songs and Artists
Circle to Search, the artificial intelligence (AI) visual lookup feature developed by Google, might be getting a new music search capability. According to a new leak, a new icon for music search was allegedly seen in the Samsung Galaxy S23 series. The feature is said to be able to detect a song playing on the screen and run a Google Search for it.

Earliest Building Blocks Of Milky Way Galaxy Named Shakti, Shiva By Scientists
Earliest "building blocks" of our Milky Way galaxy have been identified from 12-13 billion years ago, which is very close in time to when the universe's first galaxies started to form, according to a new research.

Teenage Pulsar Reveals Itself to Astronomers, Possibly the Strongest Ever to Be Identified
Astronomers have made an exciting new discovery, identifying a newborn pulsar that may possibly be only 14 years old. Scientists were finally able to observe the pulsar after the dense debris and bright energy emissions from the supernova explosion that created the pulsar finally thinned enough.
