Astronomers Find ‘Impossible’ Galaxy ACDG-2 With Virtually No Stars and a Massive Dark Matter Core
Astronomers have identified CDG-2, a faint galaxy in the Perseus cluster that appears to be composed almost entirely of dark matter. Located 300 million light-years from Earth, it was discovered by tracking globular star clusters using data from Hubble, Euclid, and Subaru telescopes. Scientists estimate that about 99% of its total mass is dark matt...

Astronomers Capture First Detailed View of Hot Gas Swirling Around Black Holes
Japan’s XRISM X-ray observatory has delivered the first detailed maps of hot gas swirling around supermassive black holes in the Virgo and Perseus galaxy clusters. The data reveal intense turbulence, like cosmic storms driven by black hole jets. This churning heats the gas, stopping it from cooling and collapsing into new stars, explaining why cl...

NASA's IXPE Solves Long-Standing Mystery Behind Black Hole Jets
NASA's IXPE mission has identified how X-rays are produced in the jet of a supermassive black hole, confirming that they originate from the same jet through synchrotron self-Compton scattering and resolving a long-standing question in X-ray astronomy

Perseid Meteor Shower 2025 to Dazzle Night Sky in August
The Perseid meteor shower, one of the year’s most anticipated celestial events, will peak on the night of August 12–13, 2025. At its height, the shower can produce up to 100 meteors per hour, though the glare of an 86% waning gibbous moon will make spotting faint streaks difficult. Observers can still expect to see the brightest meteors and occ...
