Mysterious Icy Objects Found in Milky Way Baffle Astronomers: Everything You Need to Know
Astronomers have identified mysterious icy objects in the outer Milky Way, raising questions about their nature. These structures, composed of ice and gas, are located in a region where star formation is rare. Despite early detections dating back to 2006-2011, recent observations using the AKARI space telescope and the ALMA array in Chile have prov...

Trillions of Comets Found in 74 Alien Star Systems, Unveiling Exocomets and Planetary Belts
A discovery of trillions of comets in 74 star systems has opened new doors for understanding the role of exocomets in planetary water sources. The planetesimal belts, detected using ALMA and SMA telescopes, offer crucial insights into the evolution of planetary systems and the potential for life-supporting water on distant planets. This research pa...

NASA Finds Black Hole Rotating at Unexpected Angle in NGC 5084 Galaxy
NASA researchers have uncovered a black hole in the NGC 5084 galaxy that rotates at an unexpected angle, revealed through re-analysed Chandra X-ray data. The black hole is surrounded by unusual X-shaped plasma plumes, indicating disruptions in the galaxy's past. A tipped dusty disk further supports this, confirming the black hole's unique sideways ...

Astronomers Find System in Milky Way Galaxy Stirred Into a Spiral by a Massive Object
In a fascinating find, astronomers have managed to identify a miniature spiral galaxy that's located at the centre of the Milky Way. The miniature galaxy appears to be orbiting around a large star about 32-times the size of our Sun.

Mysterious Radio Structures Erupting From Black Hole Discovered in Massive Galaxy
A team of researchers have distinguished the radiant glow of quasar 3C 273 from the light generated by its host galaxy using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) radio telescope in Chile. The team were left with the quasar's galaxy's radio waves, which revealed two gigantic and intriguing radio structures that had never been seen...

Astronomers Witness Mysterious Death of a Star Emitting 6 Rings of Smoke
Scientists from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have discovered that V Hydrae, a dying star emitted a series of expanding smoke rings that are blown every few hundred years. The exact mechanism in which these intriguing “smoke rings” develop is still unknown.
