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...

China’s Tiangong Space Station Set for Expansion with New Modules and Upgrades
China's Tiangong space station, operational for nearly two years, is preparing for significant upgrades to expand its capabilities. Plans include modifying the station's structure from a T-shape to a cross shape, allowing for additional modules. The development of the Mengzhou spacecraft, designed for lunar and Tiangong missions, is also on the age...

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Captures a Stunning Spiral Galaxy 45 Million Light Years Away
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new image of the spiral galaxy IC 1954, located 45 million light-years away in the constellation Horologium. The improved view offers a detailed look at star-forming regions, showing pink patches that indicate hydrogen-rich areas where new stars are born. The image, created with data from the Hubble, James ...

Mathematicians Uncover Soft Cells, a New Class of Shapes in Nature
Researchers have unveiled a new class of shapes called soft cells, which are common in nature. These shapes, characterised by their rounded corners and unique tessellation properties, can fill space without gaps. Found in structures such as nautilus shells and onions, soft cells minimise structural weaknesses, suggesting that nature favours these f...

Japan’s XRISM Telescope Delivers Insights from a Supermassive Black Hole and a Supernova
Less than a year since Japan's X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) launched, it has delivered its first results, uncovering crucial information about black holes and supernova remnants. XRISM is a collaborative effort between the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the European Space Agency (ESA). Its observations have revealed...

NASA Shares Red Spider Nebula Photos, Showcasing Fiery Colours and Massive Shockwaves
NASA has released awe-inspiring photos of the Red Spider Nebula, located 3,000 light-years away in the constellation of Sagittarius. The nebula, with its vibrant red hues and spider-like structure, showcases shockwaves as high as 62 billion miles, created by one of the hottest stars known. This celestial marvel has left the internet buzzing, with s...

Asteroid Impact Reoriented Jupiter’s Largest Moon Ganymede 4 Billion Years Ago
A colossal asteroid impact about 4 billion years ago dramatically altered Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon. The asteroid, estimated to be 186 miles wide, struck Ganymede with such force that it reoriented the moon and removed a significant portion of its original surface. This impact not only created a massive crater but also affected Ganymede's in...

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.

Part Of Tianlong-3 Rocket Crashes In China During Test, Says Space Pioneer
Beijing Tianbing Technology Co said on Sunday that the first stage of its Tianlong-3 rocket under development had detached from its launch pad during a test due to structural failure and landed in a hilly area of the city of Gongyi in central China.

"Not Easy To Explain": Giant Rings In Deep Space Leave Scientists Puzzled
The discovery of Big Ring follows the Giant Arc that is situated in the same celestial region and at a comparable distance. The uncanny alignment and colossal scale of these structures deepen the cosmic mystery.
