Binary Star System D9 Found Orbiting Sagittarius A* Near Milky Way’s Core
Astronomers have detected a young binary star system, D9, orbiting Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's centre. This challenges previous assumptions about star survival near intense gravitational forces. The discovery was made using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. Future research with advanced tel...

Here's How AI is Helping Astronomers to Understand Universe's Fundamental Parameters
Artificial intelligence is advancing the field of cosmology by enabling astronomers to determine five fundamental cosmological parameters with remarkable precision. Researchers from the Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Astrophysics (CCA) in New York City have used AI to analyse extensive data from over 100,000 galaxies, observed throug...

ESA Space X-Ray Space Observatory Locates Unusual Particle Acceleration in Manatee Nebula’s ‘Head’
The European Space Agency (ESA) has observed an unusual particle acceleration in the Manatee Nebula. The space agency says it has finally managed to pinpoint the location of the acceleration in the 'head' of the nebula. The image was captured using the ESA's X-ray space observatory, XMM-Newton. A region of X-rays that is causing particle accelerati...
