New Black Hole Theory Challenges Singularity: What You Need to Know
A new study has put forward a black hole model that eliminates the central singularity, a concept that has long troubled physicists. Researchers suggest modifying Einstein’s field equations to prevent mathematical values from reaching infinity at a black hole’s core. This approach could reshape our understanding of gravity, black holes, and eve...

"No Sympathy For Sunita Williams Because...": Neil deGrasse Tyson Exclusive
Plastic cups and time to readjust to Earth's gravity - that is what Sunita Williams, whose eight-day mission to the International Space Station extended to a nine-month stay, will need to recover, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson told NDTV.

"Gravity Was In Vedic Texts Before Newton Spoke About It": Rajasthan Governor
The theory of gravity was mentioned in the Vedic texts long before Isaac Newton gave it in 1687, Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagde claimed on Wednesday.

Black Hole Singularities May Not Exist, Say Scientists
A new study questions the existence of black hole singularities, suggesting refinements to Einstein’s equations using quantum gravity concepts. Researchers argue that infinite density points may not be real, replacing them with highly curved but finite regions of space-time. While direct observation remains difficult, gravitational waves and earl...

NASA Astronaut Shows How He Wears His Pants In Space: "Two Legs At A Time"
Instead of the traditional one-leg-at-a-time approach, Mr Pettit descends into his floating trousers, essentially jumping into them with both legs at once.

Black Hole Hunter Priyamvada Natarajan Searches For The Unseen Universe
Black holes are a place in the universe where gravity is so intense that not even light can escape.

Over 1 Million Interstellar Objects Could Be Hidden in Our Solar System
A new study reveals that more than 1 million interstellar objects, each larger than the Statue of Liberty, may be residing in the Oort Cloud. These objects, believed to have originated from the Alpha Centauri system, were captured by the Sun’s gravity and are now part of our solar system. Unlike fast-moving interstellar visitors, these objects re...

Physicists Discover Singularities-Free Black Holes Using Pure Gravity
Physicists at ICCUB have mathematically proven that black holes can form without singularities, eliminating the need for exotic matter. The study, published in Physics Letters B, demonstrates that higher-order gravitational corrections alone can generate regular black holes. This breakthrough challenges previous models and provides new insights int...

NASA's Juno Detects Io's Most Powerful Volcanic Eruption Yet
NASA’s Juno spacecraft has recorded the most powerful volcanic eruption on Io, Jupiter’s most volcanic moon. The eruption site, detected on 27 December 2024, is fueled by a massive magma chamber spanning 105,000 square kilometers. The heat energy released is estimated at 80 trillion watts, exceeding Earth’s total power output. The volcanic ac...

Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-29 Conducts First Lunar Gravity Simulation
Blue Origin successfully launched its NS-29 mission, marking the first lunar gravity simulation on its New Shepard vehicle. The capsule rotated mid-flight to replicate Moon gravity for research payloads, including NASA-supported experiments on lunar dust behaviour and fire safety. Over half of the 30 payloads focused on Moon-related technologies. T...

Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-29 Mission to Test Lunar Gravity Simulation
Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-29 mission, scheduled for Jan. 28, 2025, will simulate lunar gravity during its suborbital flight. The uncrewed mission, launching from West Texas, carries 30 experiments, with 17 contributed by NASA. These experiments aim to advance lunar exploration technologies, including studying moon dust behaviour, fire dynamics...

Invisible Boson Stars Could Hold the Key to Dark Matter's Mysteries
Boson stars, invisible celestial objects theorised to form from axions, are now at the centre of dark matter research. Axions, light and wave-like bosons, may cluster under gravity, forming these mysterious entities. Unlike normal stars, boson stars neither emit light nor interact with regular matter in observable ways. With sizes ranging from smal...

Earth's Hidden 'Ignorosphere' Could Provide Insights into Auroras
A new dataset developed by Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo provides valuable insights into Earth's upper atmosphere, specifically the mesosphere. Spanning 19 years, the data sheds light on phenomena like auroras, gravity waves, and their connection to space weather. The study, published in Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, ...
