Hubble Telescope Reveals Milky Way Blowing Gas off LMC Galaxy in Close Encounter
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured an extraordinary phenomenon as the Milky Way galaxy exerts ram pressure on the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), stripping away most of its gas halo. The interaction, which occurs as LMC passes near the Milky Way, has led to the loss of significant mass from the dwarf galaxy. Despite this, LMC retains enough...

Hubble Telescope Captures Image of Merging Galaxies in Coma Cluster, 390 Million Light-Years Away
NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have shared an image of two galaxies, MCG+05-31-045, interacting within the Coma Cluster. Located 390 million light-years away, the pair is in the midst of a cosmic merger. As the smaller galaxy is pulled into the larger one, a new wave of star formation is expected. Over time, the galaxies will likely evolv...

Two Black Holes With Unusual Behaviour Disrupt Traditional Theories About Their Formation
Astronomers are observing two unique black holes defying established cosmic theories. One, known as the "serial killer" black hole, is preparing to consume its second star in five years, an event that rarely occurs within such a timeframe. The other black hole, part of a triple system called V404 Cygni, has a structure that defies traditional black...

NASA's Webb and Hubble Capture Spooky, ‘Blood-Soaked Eyes’ Galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207
NASA's Hubble and James Webb telescopes have captured the breathtaking merger of galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207, located 80 million light-years away. This captivating process, described as a “blood-soaked” cosmic dance, showcases the ongoing star formation occurring between the galaxies as they interact. With an impressive rate of star birth and...

James Webb Telescope Uncovers First Possible Brown Dwarfs Beyond Milky Way
The James Webb Space Telescope has possibly identified brown dwarfs beyond the Milky Way for the first time, offering new insights into how stars formed in the early universe. Located in the star cluster NGC 602 within the Small Magellanic Cloud, these “failed stars” may help explain star formation under early cosmic conditions. This discovery,...

Indian Scientists Discover A Massive Exoplanet That is Five Times Larger Than Earth
Indian scientists have identified a new exoplanet named TOI-6651b, which is five times larger than Earth and has a mass around 60 times greater. Located in the Neptunian desert, it orbits a Sun-like star every 5.06 days. The planet's composition suggests unique evolutionary processes, providing valuable insights into how such dense exoplanets form ...

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...

Astronomers Discover 1-Cyanopyrene in Interstellar Space Revealing Carbon Secrets
Astronomers have discovered a new organic molecule, 1-cyanopyrene, in interstellar space. This finding challenges the long-held belief that carbon-rich compounds cannot survive harsh conditions in space. Detected in the Taurus Molecular Cloud-1, this discovery opens new avenues for understanding how carbon behaves in the universe. Researchers empha...

Astronomers Successfully Detect Brown Dwarfs in a Distant Star Cluster
For the first time, astronomers have detected brown dwarfs outside the Milky Way in the star cluster NGC 602, situated approximately 200,000 light-years away in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Utilising the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the team sought young brown dwarf candidates in an environment that resembles the early universe, with limited h...

James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers Inside-Out Galaxy 700 Million Years After Big Bang
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a unique “inside-out” galaxy from 700 million years after the Big Bang. Unlike most galaxies, JADES-GS+53.18343−27.79097 has stars forming rapidly at its outskirts rather than at its core, providing the earliest evidence of predicted galaxy growth patterns. Researchers used JWST’s advanced Near-In...

James Webb Telescope Reveals Massive Westerlund 1 Super Star Cluster Hidden in Milky Way’s Dust
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unveiled Westerlund 1, the Milky Way’s largest super star cluster, located 12,000 light-years away in the constellation Ara. This massive cluster, with stars up to 2,000 times larger than the Sun, has a total mass between 50,000 to 100,000 times that of the Sun. Previously hidden by cosmic dust, Westerlun...
