New 3D Map of Local Hot Bubble Reveals Interstellar Tunnel to Superbubble
Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers mapped the Local Hot Bubble in 3D, finding a new interstellar tunnel leading towards Centaurus. This tunnel may link the bubble with another galactic superbubble, hinting at a broader network of gas corridors. The eROSITA data also unveils temperature variations within the bubble, supporting t...

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 ...

Meteoroid Trails Could Help Detect Potentially Hazardous Comets Years in Advance
Meteoroid trails from long-period comets could provide early warnings of potentially dangerous comets near Earth, giving planetary scientists time to prepare. By studying these trails, scientists can track the paths of rarely visible comets that could pose a risk of impact, helping prevent catastrophic events. With the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observ...
