NASA’s Chandra Telescope Observes Mysterious 'Knots' Blasting from Nearby Black Hole Jets
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has unveiled mysterious "knots" in the jet of a supermassive black hole in Centaurus A, a nearby galaxy. These bright, fast-moving features exhibit a higher speed in X-rays than in radio wavelengths, hinting at unexplored physics in black hole jets. Despite financial uncertainties surrounding Chandra's operations,...

Scientists Scan TRAPPIST-1 for Interplanetary Radio Signal Using Allen Telescope Array
Scientists at Penn State and the SETI Institute have developed a new method to search for interplanetary radio signals from planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system. Using the Allen Telescope Array, they scanned this system for nearly 28 hours but did not find evidence of alien communication. This project, however, has introduced a new way of detecting pot...

SETI Uses Radio Frequencies to Look for Alien Life in More Than 1,000 Galaxies
Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) recently conducted a search of more than 1,300 galaxies for signs of alien life using unexplored low radio frequencies. The search was reportedly performed using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), a radio telescope located in the Australian outback. This effort targeted radio frequencies in the 80...

James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers Surprising Dust Formation Near Supermassive Black Hole
James Webb Space Telescope images have uncovered an unexpected dust formation around a supermassive black hole, showing that gas collisions, not black hole radiation, heat the dust. This breakthrough by Newcastle University’s team challenges existing theories and offers new perspectives on galaxy evolution.

Researchers Propose New Method to Find Planets Beyond Our Solar System
In s new study, researchers have tried to unravel what the signal from aJupiter-like planet be like. They have developed a model of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and applied it to a planetary system called HD 189733. They have simulated the interaction between the star's stellar wind and the planet's magnetic field and performed calculations around th...

Scientists Aim to Peer Into Oldest of Star-Forming Galaxies in New Project
A new project by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) aim sat peering into the most elusive galaxies in the universe. This is likely to help astronomers paint a clearer and more comprehensive picture of the universe's history of star formation. The instrument will also help detect those galaxies that are too dim and are obscured by cosm...
