Sunspots Surge to 23-Year High as Solar Maximum Intensifies Beyond Predictions
August saw the highest number of sunspots since September 2001, surpassing forecasts and signalling a more intense solar maximum. The Space Weather Prediction Center had initially predicted a weaker solar cycle, but recent data shows sunspot numbers have far exceeded these predictions, indicating a robust peak in solar activity. This trend could le...

Supermassive Black Hole Spotted Eating Sun-Like Star in Nearby Galaxy
Black holes, celestial objects known for their gluttony, usually eat stars unlucky enough to stray too close to them in one big gulp, annihilating them with their enormous gravitational pull. But some, it turns out, tend to snack rather than gorge. Researchers said they have observed a supermassive black hole at the center of a relatively nearby ga...
