Black Hole Paradoxes
Astronomers have caught an intermediate black hole devouring a star in a cluster associated with a lenticular galaxy, located nearly 800 million light-years away. The…
Black hole triggers premature supernova explosion – first observation of a completely new type of supernova
Theorists have predicted the first observation of a completely new type of supernova, but it has not been confirmed before. In 2017, a bright and…
How the largest black holes in the universe arose
In the middle of the path that separates the small constellations of Delphinus the Dolphin and the hind hoof of Pegasus the flying horse, an…
Astrophysicists solve the mystery of ’empty sky’ gamma rays
Star-forming galaxies are responsible for creating gamma rays so far not associated with a known origin, confirms a study by the ANU (Australian National University).…
Waves in Saturn’s rings reveal the nature of its core
Image credit: NASA Oscillations inside Saturn cause the gas giant to move slightly. Those movements, in turn, cause ripples in Saturn’s rings. In a new…
