Astrophotographer Captures Stunning Portrait of Lagoon and Trifid Nebulas in Glowing Detail
Astrophotographer Greg Meyer captured a vivid 34-hour exposure of the Lagoon and Trifid nebulas glowing in the constellation Sagittarius. Framed beneath a dense starfield, the image reveals young stars sculpting gas and dust across 4,000 light-years. Taken from Arizona’s dark skies, the portrait offers a dazzling glimpse into stellar birth region...

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...

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...
