The question of the birthright of stars and black holes is a chicken-and-egg question. What came first? We are witnessing massive stars turning into black…
What came first: supermassive black holes or galaxies?
A hole, something previously thought impossible. The researchers published their findings in The Astrophysical Journal Letters and suggest that a new theory of galaxy formation…
Unusual behavior of super-luminous pulsar discovered
arXiv: Astronomers observe flash from ultra-bright X-ray pulsar Astronomers at the Physical Institute of India conducted detailed observations of the ultra-luminous X-ray pulsar Swift J0243.6+6124…
All the planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system probably have no atmosphere or life.
The TRAPPIST-1 system is one of the most studied exoplanet systems in our galaxy. Up to seven planets orbit a red dwarf star just 40…
“James Webb” directly examined the most distant star clusters in the galaxy from the early Universe
The James Webb Infrared Space Telescope has discovered five candidates for the most distant protoglobular clusters known. He existed 460 million years after the Big…
The nature of the mysterious space object has been revealed
arXiv: High-energy cosmic source J1745.1 turns out to be a pulsar An international team of astronomers has revealed the suspicious properties of 2FHL J1745.1-3035, a…
A moderately active supermassive black hole suddenly started blowing extremely fast winds.
During measurements with ESA’s XMM Newtonian X-ray Space Telescope, scientists discovered strange data that does not match all previous observations. The supermassive black hole (SMBH)…
Astronomers have discovered that the center of the galaxy shines brightly with gamma rays.
To shed more light on the properties and nature of 2FHL J1745.1-3035, astronomers led by Stefano Marchesi at the University of Bologna in Italy analyzed…
NASA’s TESS telescope has discovered analogues of six planets in our solar system, helping us learn what our solar system was like billions of years ago.
Astronomers have discovered a unique planetary system consisting of six young exoplanets and possibly one additional planet orbiting the young star TOI-1136. The discovery not…
