Astronomers Discover Most Powerful Cosmic Explosions Since the Big Bang
Astronomers have discovered extreme nuclear transients — rare and powerful explosions caused by stars being torn apart by supermassive black holes. These events, brighter and longer-lasting than supernovae, were observed using data from Gaia and ZTF. As the most energetic cosmic outbursts since the Big Bang, they offer valuable insights into blac...

Einstein Probe Detects Mysterious X-ray Flare with Record-Long Emission
An international team of astronomers has detected a peculiar fast-evolving X-ray transient, EP241021a, using China’s Einstein Probe. Unveiled in a May 12 arXiv paper, this transient stood out due to its long-lasting emissions lasting over 79 days—unprecedented among FEXTs. EP241021a also produced optical and radio emissions, suggesting a multi-...

Hubble Captures First-Ever Rogue Black Hole Devouring a Star Outside Galactic Core
Astronomers led by Dr. Yuhan Yao have discovered the first offset tidal disruption event (TDE), where a rogue black hole outside a galaxy's core ripped apart a star. Spotted by the Hubble telescope and Zwicky Transient Facility, this marks historic evidence of a wandering supermassive black hole in action.

What Happens if You're Struck By A Tiny Black Hole? Study Reveals Shocking Details
A recent study explores the effects of tiny black holes on the human body, finding that while tidal forces would cause local damage, shock waves could be deadly, but the likelihood of being struck is incredibly low.

Spotify Music Pro Plan With AI Remixing, Exclusive Features in Development: Report
Spotify Music Pro is set to launch as a more expensive subscription tier, offering higher-quality audio streaming and AI-powered exclusive features, according to a Bloomberg report. Spotify is also negotiating with partners to provide concert ticket presales as part of this plan. Rivals like Tidal and Apple Music already offer lossless audio, and S...

JWST Unveils HH 30’s Protoplanetary Disk, Showing Dust Grains and Jets
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an extraordinary image of HH 30, a protoplanetary disk in the Taurus constellation. The dense dust disk conceals the central star, while bright jets extend outward, interacting with surrounding gas. Microscopic dust grains within the disk have been identified, playing a crucial role in planetary formation...

Jack Dorsey’s Block Introduces Codename Goose, an Open-Source AI Agent That Can Automate Coding Tasks
Jack Dorsey’s Block introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) agent dubbed Codename Goose on Tuesday. The parent company of mobile payments system Cash App, point-of-sale service Square, and music streaming platform Tidal, has now released an open-source AI agent that can handle software development tasks. The agent comes with compatibility for ...

Supermassive Black Hole Flashed Twice in a Rare Event, Scientists Explain the Reason
In a galaxy 408 million light-years away, the black hole ASASSN-22ci consumed a star from a binary system, producing a rare double-flash tidal disruption event (TDE). First observed in February 2022, a second flare occurred 720 days later, possibly caused by Hills capture. Researchers anticipate a third flare in early 2026, offering unprecedented i...

Research Reveals New Details About NGC 5018 Galaxy’s Clusters
A recent study of the NGC 5018 galaxy group, located about 132.5 million light years away in the Virgo constellation, provides new insights into its globular cluster (GC) system. Researchers analysed deep imaging data from the VLT Survey Telescope, revealing thousands of GC candidates, with a significant concentration around NGC 5018 itself. The st...

New "Kiss-and-Capture" Theory Explains Pluto's Formation of Largest Moon, Charon
A new theory proposes that Pluto’s largest moon, Charon, was formed billions of years ago through a rare "kiss-and-capture" collision in the Kuiper Belt. This process involves two icy bodies briefly merging and then separating, leaving Charon in a stable orbit around Pluto. Unlike traditional collision models, this event challenges previous theor...

Five Dwarf Galaxies Found in a Rare Alignment, Challenges Current Cosmic Models
A rare alignment of five dwarf galaxies, positioned around 117 million light-years away, has been discovered by astronomers. This grouping, which challenges existing models of galaxy formation, shows active star formation despite their small sizes. The galaxies, labelled D1 to D5, exhibit unique characteristics, including shared rotational motion a...
