Astronomers Discover Rare Triple Black Hole System in Milky Way, Challenging Formation Theories
Astronomers has revealed a rare triple system in the Milky Way consisting of a black hole and two stars, known as V404 Cygni. Located approximately 8,000 light-years away, this system poses new questions about black hole formation, suggesting that they may arise through a less violent "direct collapse" process rather than the expected explosive eve...

NASA Shares 'Sound' of Butterfly Nebula Created Through Data Sonification
The Butterfly Nebula, also known as NGC 6302, lies within our Milky Way galaxy between 2,500 and 3,800 light-years away, in the constellation Scorpius. It has two “wings” of gas heated to more than 36,000 degrees Fahrenheit (19,982 degrees Celsius).

For First Time, Scientists Spot an Alien Planet as It Is Being Formed
This large young planet is forming around a star called AB Aurigae that is about 2.4 times the mass of the sun and located in our Milky Way galaxy 520 light years from Earth, researchers said on Wednesday. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km).
