Study Finds Coronal Loop Flickers Could Predict Solar Flares Hours in Advance
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory has revealed a potential breakthrough in predicting solar flares. Scientists observed brightness fluctuations in coronal loops—plasma structures in the Sun's atmosphere—that intensify hours before solar flares occur. This discovery, with a prediction accuracy of 60–80%, may provide 2–6 hours of advance warn...

Hidden Supermassive Black Holes Found Behind Gas and Dust Across the Universe
Supermassive black holes, which feed on surrounding material, may be more common than earlier believed. Researchers suggest that nearly 30%-50% of these black holes could be concealed behind dense gas and dust, making them invisible to standard telescopes. The study, based on infrared observations, sheds light on how these entities influence star f...

NASA’s Hubble Observes Rare Blue Lurker Star with Unusual Evolution in M67 Cluster
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has identified a rare stellar phenomenon called the “blue lurker” in the M67 star cluster. Located 2,800 light-years away, this star is part of a triple-star system and has an unusual evolutionary history. The blue lurker’s accelerated spin, taking just four days, contrasts with the typical rotation of Sun-like...

Supermassive Black Hole Flashed Twice in a Rare Event, Scientists Explain the Reason
In a galaxy 408 million light-years away, the black hole ASASSN-22ci consumed a star from a binary system, producing a rare double-flash tidal disruption event (TDE). First observed in February 2022, a second flare occurred 720 days later, possibly caused by Hills capture. Researchers anticipate a third flare in early 2026, offering unprecedented i...
