NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Discovers Fourth Planet in Kepler-51 System
A study published in The Astronomical Journal reveals the discovery of Kepler-51e, the fourth planet in the Kepler-51 system, led by Dr Jessica Libby-Roberts of Penn State and Dr Kento Masuda of Osaka University. Observations indicated that only a four-planet model could explain the transit timing variations. Kepler-51e’s orbit, just inside the s...

Buckminsterfullerene Species Likely the Source of Unidentified Infrared Emission
In a new study, researchers have applied the first principle of quantum chemical calculations to predict the mid-infrared signatures of the ionised forms of fullerene. The team has noted that some positively charged fullerenes have strong emission bands that substantially match with the position of key astronomical UIE emission features at 11.21, 1...

Astronomers May Have Discovered a Black Hole Candidate Through Gravitational Microlensing
A team of astronomers from the University of California, Berkeley, has discovered what appears to be a free-floating black hole for the first time using gravitational microlensing. The unseen compact object's mass is estimated to be between 1.6 and 4.4 times that of the Sun, according to the astronomers.

Hubble Space Telescope Captures World’s Largest Near-Infrared Image to Locate Universe’s Most Distant Galaxies
An international team of scientists has released the Hubble Space Telescope's largest near-infrared image ever. The latest find will allow astronomers to map the universe's star-forming regions and learn how the oldest, most distant galaxies formed.

Astronomers Discover Hidden Trove of Massive Black Holes, Can Help Understand the Milky Way’s Origin
A group of researchers has found a previously overlooked trove of massive black holes in dwarf galaxies. These black holes, the researchers believe, can offer insights into the journey of the supermassive black hole that sits at the centre of the Milky Way.

Researchers Find New Way to Measure Void in Pair of Merging Supermassive Black Holes
Two Columbia University researchers have invented a method of observing into the void between a pair of supermassive black holes that may be more convenient than previous ways. With this new development, astronomers may be able to study black holes smaller than Messier 87 in galaxies further away.
