  Astronomers Discover Largest Collection of Missing Link Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies

  Astronomers have uncovered 2,500 dwarf galaxies containing active black holes using DESI data. This marks the largest-ever discovery of intermediate-mass black holes, with 300 new candidates identified. These findings could help scientists understand how black holes evolve from stellar-mass to supermassive sizes. The research, based on 410,000 gala...

  Exoplanet WASP-121 b’s Atmosphere Features Iron Rains, Jet Streams, and More

  Astronomers have uncovered extreme weather patterns on WASP-121 b, a gas giant 900 light-years from Earth. The planet experiences iron rain, with metals vaporizing on its scorching dayside and condensing into liquid at night. Supersonic winds carry elements across its atmosphere, forming powerful jet streams. Using the Very Large Telescope, researc...

  A Neptune-Like Exoplanet Is Racing Through Space at Record Speed

  Scientists have detected an exoplanet racing through space at 1.2 million mph, making it the fastest known planet. The Neptune-sized world orbits a hypervelocity star, first hinted at in 2011 via gravitational microlensing. Astronomers, using Keck Observatory and Gaia data, have confirmed the system’s extreme speed, suggesting it may even leave t...

  Astronomers Spot a High-Speed Star That May Carry a Planet With It

  Astronomers have identified a celestial object moving through the Milky Way at over 1.2 million mph. Believed to be a small star with a possible massive exoplanet, the discovery could mark the fastest-known planetary system. If its speed exceeds 1.3 million mph, it may eventually escape the galaxy. Scientists are still verifying whether it is the s...
