February 2025 Planet Parade: How to See Five Planets Align in the Sky
A rare celestial event will unfold in February 2025, with five bright planets—Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, and Saturn—visible in the evening sky. The highlight occurs on February 24, when Mercury and Saturn appear closest. Uranus and Neptune can also be observed with telescopes.

M87 Black Hole: Turbulent Plasma Dynamics and Feeding Process Revealed
M87*, the supermassive black hole in Messier 87, continues to captivate astronomers. EHT observations from 2017 and 2018 revealed turbulence in the accretion flow, with the plasma ring’s brightest region shifting due to gas dynamics. The study also uncovered a counter-rotating gas spiral feeding mechanism, refining understanding of black hole fee...

Astronomers Discover Unusual X-Ray Oscillations From a Black Hole 100 Million Light-Years Away
A supermassive black hole 100 million light-years away is showing an unprecedented increase in X-ray oscillations, starting from 18-minute intervals and accelerating to 7 minutes in just two years. Astronomers believe a white dwarf, orbiting perilously close to the event horizon, is causing these flashes. The findings offer a glimpse into black hol...

Lego Horizon Adventures Review: Missing Pieces
Guerrilla Games’ latest Horizon title — the second one in two weeks — is a candy-coloured reinterpretation of Horizon Zero Dawn, which just got a remaster that dialled up the graphical presentation of the 2017 breakout PS4 hit. Lego Horizon Adventures, on the other hand, amps up the silliness.

Black Hole Mergers Explained: What Happens When Two Black Holes Collide in Space?
Black hole mergers are among the most energetic events in space. Two black holes gradually lose energy through gravitational interactions, drawing them closer until their event horizons stretch and merge. Gravitational waves released during the process are some of the most powerful forces in the universe, with part of the black holes' mass converti...

New Research Could Resolve Stephen Hawking's Black Hole Radiation Paradox
Recent research indicates that black holes may actually be “frozen stars,” complex quantum objects that lack the typical singularities and event horizons of conventional black holes. This theory, led by physicist Ramy Brustein from Ben-Gurion University, aims to resolve Stephen Hawking's famous radiation paradox, which suggests information is l...

Supermassive Black Hole at the Centre of the Milky Way Is Spinning Unexpectedly
Sagittarius A* (pronounced Sagittarius A Star), the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, is spinning in an unusual way, and scientists now believe they may know why. Based on new data from the Event Horizon Telescope, researchers suggest that this cosmic giant likely merged with another black hole billions of years ago. This colo...
