Using the remarkable infrared sensitivity of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, scientists are gaining new insights into ancient galaxies, unlocking mysteries about the universe’s earliest days. Recently, an international team of astronomers made an unexpected discovery—a bright hydrogen emission coming from a galaxy that existed much earlier than anticipated. This Read more…
For the first time, scientists have mapped the atmosphere of a distant exoplanet in remarkable detail, uncovering an unusual and chaotic weather system. This alien world, WASP-121b—also known as Tylos—exhibits record-breaking wind speeds in its stratosphere, moving in baffling directions that defy conventional atmospheric models. Since its discovery in 2015, Read more…
Astronomers have captured an unprecedented close-up image of a star nearing the end of its life, enveloped in gas and dust as it approaches a spectacular supernova explosion. This milestone marks the first time such a pivotal stage of stellar evolution has been photographed in detail. What adds to the Read more…
Two powerful telescopes have recently detected the closest pair of supermassive black holes ever observed, located just 300 light-years apart. These black holes, residing in the center of colliding galaxies known as MCG-03-34-64, were spotted through different wavelengths using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope. Although black Read more…
A seriously attractive neutron star around 15,000 light-years from Earth is baffling space experts with its ultra significant stretches, releasing radio waves into the universe like clockwork. Neutron stars with serious attractive fields are called magnetars. Presently, 22-minute durations might sound generally regular in Natural time scales, however most magnetars Read more…
