X-ray radiation from black holes explained
Monday, August 26, 2024 by Freeman Lightner
Using detailed supercomputer simulations, researchers at the University of Helsinki modeled the interactions between radiation, plasma, and magnetic fields around black holes. It was found that the chaotic movements, or turbulence, caused by the magnetic fields heat the local plasma and make it radiate. Focus on the X-ray radiation from accretion disks A black hol...
Unlocking the Cosmos: The thrilling journey of Kilonova Seekers
Sunday, August 25, 2024 by Richard Harris
Above is and Artists’ impression of a binary neutron star merger leading to a kilonova, the target of Kilonova Seekers. Image credit NSF/LIGO/Sonoma State University/A. Simonnet. Imagine being part of a cosmic treasure hunt where the treasures are not gold or jewels but the rarest events in the universe—kilonovae. This isn't science fiction; it's ...
JWST reveals dust in a galaxy 70 million light years away
Sunday, August 11, 2024 by Richard Harris
Researchers at Newcastle University, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), uncovered a dust veil in galaxy ESO 428-G14, 70 million light years away. Contrary to expectations, the dust is heated by gas collisions rather than radiation from the supermassive black hole. JWST reveals dust near a supermassive black hole This discovery highlights the complex...
NASA Fermi telescope finds BOAT gamma-ray burst
Tuesday, July 30, 2024 by Richard Harris
In October 2022, astronomers were stunned by what was quickly dubbed the BOAT - the brightest-of-all-time gamma-ray burst (GRB). Now an international science team reports that data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope reveals a feature never seen before. "A few minutes after the BOAT erupted, Fermi’s Gamma-ray Burst Monitor recorded an un...
WASP-39 B investigated by NASAs Webb
Tuesday, July 23, 2024 by Freeman Lightner
Researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope confirmed that an exoplanet exhibited differences between its eternal morning and evening atmospheres, validating previous models. WASP-39 b, a giant planet with a diameter 1.3 times greater than Jupiter and a similar mass to Saturn, orbits a star about 700 light-years from Earth and is tidally locked to its pare...

The Cambridge University Digital Library has made a significant contribution to the scientific community and the public by making the Stephen Hawking Archive available online. This digital collection offers unprecedented access to the personal and professional papers of one of the most influential theoretical physicists of the modern era. Stephen Hawking Archive onli...
Evidence of IMBH in Omega Centauri discovered by Hubble
Wednesday, July 17, 2024 by Freeman Lightner
Most black holes known to science fall into two categories: extremely massive, like those found at the centers of large galaxies, or relatively lightweight, with masses less than 100 times that of the Sun. Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are rare and considered elusive "missing links" in black hole evolution. Evidence of IMBH in Omega Centauri discove...
XL-Calibur telescope launches in balloon from Swedish Space Center
Tuesday, July 16, 2024 by Richard Harris
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have successfully launched a balloon-borne telescope to study the mysteries of astrophysical black holes and neutron stars, two of the universe's most extreme phenomena. XL-Calibur telescope launches in a stadium-sized scientific balloon from the Swedish Space Center, and will study black holes and ...
NASAs JWT finds aligned bipolar jets supporting star formation theory
Friday, June 21, 2024 by Freeman Lightner
Some of the most significant and intriguing astronomical discoveries have been unexpected, even when studying well-known regions of the sky. Often, it's new technology or chance timing that leads to these discoveries. A recent study of the Serpens Nebula with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope exemplifies this, showcasing both new technology and fortuitous timi...
Massless topological defects and cosmic structure binding
Thursday, June 13, 2024 by Freeman Lightner
Recent research has unveiled intriguing insights into the universe's intricate fabric through the binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects. This groundbreaking study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, explores how massless topological defects contribute to the formation and stability of large-scale structur...
NGC 2683 galaxy astrophoto from the TEC APO200FL telescope and QHY268
Tuesday, May 28, 2024 by Bernhard Hubl
Capturing the galaxy NGC 2683 is no easy feat and requires some hefty gear to truly do it justice. Known affectionately as the "UFO Galaxy," NGC 2683 is a dazzling spiral galaxy situated in the northern constellation of Lynx. This galactic wonder is not just another pretty face in the universe; it's a cosmic treasure trove bursting with about 300 globular ...
Supermassive black holes are merging in the galaxy system ZS7
Tuesday, May 21, 2024 by Freeman Lightner
Astronomers have provided evidence for an ongoing merger of two galaxies and their massive black holes when the universe was just 740 million years old, using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This groundbreaking discovery highlights a significant period in cosmic history, revealing the farthest and earliest detection of merging black holes to dat...
OSIRIS REx samples reveals surprises from asteroid Bennu
Friday, May 17, 2024 by Freeman Lightner
NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission returned to Earth with a pristine sample from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu, offering a unique glimpse into the solar system's early history. The spacecraft collected 121.6 grams (.27 lbs) of material from Bennu's surface in 2020, which is the largest sample ever retrieved from an asteroid. NASA's asteroid sample redefines so...
Gaia BH3 black hole discovered by Pasquale Panuzzo
Wednesday, May 15, 2024 by Freeman Lightner
Astronomers have recently identified a dormant black hole, named Gaia BH3, which has been recognized as the largest ever found in the Milky Way. Situated 1,926 light-years away in the constellation Aquila, this black hole does not seem to be disrupting its companion star, unlike more active black holes. The discovery was made by Pasquale Panuzzo and his colleagues at...
