Did Black Hole Radiation Shape the Universe?
A study suggests that Hawking radiation, first proposed by Stephen Hawking, may have influenced the universe’s structure. According to reports, primordial black holes that existed in the early universe could have evaporated through Hawking radiation, impacting matter distribution. The research explores how these black holes might have shaped gala...

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...

JWST Identifies Cooling Gas in Phoenix Cluster, Unlocking Star Formation Process
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected the missing cooling gas in the Phoenix Cluster, a galaxy cluster located 5.8 billion light-years away. Researchers used the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) to identify gas at around 540,000 degrees Fahrenheit trapped in cavities within the cluster. This discovery resolves a long-standing mystery of how sta...

Scientists Detects Most Energetic Neutrino Ever in the Mediterranean Sea
A record-breaking neutrino with 220 quadrillion electron volts has been detected in the Mediterranean Sea. Captured by the KM3NeT deep-sea telescope, this rare cosmic event could be linked to powerful astrophysical phenomena such as black holes or supernovae. Neutrinos, nearly massless particles that rarely interact with matter, provide crucial ins...

Astronomers Find a 200,000-Light-Year Black Hole Jet in the Early Universe
Astronomers have identified the longest black hole jet observed in the early universe, stretching 200,000 light-years—twice the Milky Way’s width. Found in quasar J1601+3102, this jet was detected using the LOFAR telescope. Despite the black hole being 450 million times the Sun’s mass, it isn’t among the most massive. Scientists believe env...

JWST Detects Unexpectedly Massive Black Holes in the Early Universe
A new study led by Jorryt Matthee of ISTA reveals that black holes in early galaxies were significantly more massive than expected. Using JWST data, researchers found that some black holes accounted for nearly 10% of their galaxy's stellar mass—far exceeding the 0.01% ratio seen in modern galaxies. The findings challenge existing growth models, s...

Astronomers Spot Hundreds of Hidden Supermassive Black Holes Using Infrared
Hundreds of hidden supermassive black holes have been identified using infrared observations, offering fresh insights into their role in galaxy formation. Researchers relied on data from NASA's Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) and the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) to detect emissions from black holes obscured by thick clouds ...

Hidden Supermassive Black Holes Found Behind Gas and Dust Across the Universe
Supermassive black holes, which feed on surrounding material, may be more common than earlier believed. Researchers suggest that nearly 30%-50% of these black holes could be concealed behind dense gas and dust, making them invisible to standard telescopes. The study, based on infrared observations, sheds light on how these entities influence star f...

MeerKAT Detects Gravitational Wave Background, Uncovering Cosmic Activity
Scientists using the MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array have made a groundbreaking discovery, confirming the presence of a gravitational wave background in the universe. This unexpected phenomenon, detected with unprecedented precision, suggests that supermassive black hole collisions may occur more frequently than previously thought. By observing the sig...

Researchers Propose Evidence of Primordial Black Holes in Cosmic Objects and Earthly Materials
A study led by the University at Buffalo suggests primordial black holes (PBHs), formed in the early universe, could leave traces in both cosmic and terrestrial objects. Researchers believe PBHs, which are much smaller than stellar black holes, might leave hollow structures in celestial bodies like asteroids or moons. Additionally, passing through ...

James Webb Telescope Breaks Record with Discovery of Early Galaxies Dating 200 Million Years After Big Bang
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted five galaxy candidates dating back to 200 million years after the Big Bang. These findings could transform our understanding of early cosmic evolution. Discovered via gravitational lensing, these galaxies, if confirmed, predate known formations and offer vital insights into the universe’s infancy. Scient...

Researchers Propose New Methods to Spot Atom-Sized Primordial Black Holes Moving Across Solar System
Recent studies suggest that microscopic primordial black holes may exist within the solar system, potentially impacting planetary orbits and satellite movements. These small, early-universe black holes could also contribute to the mystery of dark matter, which makes up 85% of the universe's mass. Methods are being developed to detect their gravitat...

Cosmic Survey Reveals Surge of Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies
A cosmic survey using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument has identified over 2,500 active black holes in dwarf galaxies, tripling previous estimates. Conducted by the University of Utah’s Ragadeepika Pucha, the research has also uncovered nearly 300 intermediate-mass black holes, quadrupling their known population. This milestone discovery ...
