Astronomers have captured a rare tidal disruption event (TDE), revealing a supermassive black hole roaming through space and tearing apart a star 600 million light-years from Earth. Unlike typical TDEs, this black hole wasn’t at the center of its galaxy. Instead, it was drifting about 2,600 light-years from the core—an unusual find that has shocked …

Astronomers studying black hole jets—colossal streams of matter launched at near-light speeds—have made groundbreaking discoveries using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). These jets, spanning millions of light-years, remain one of the most enigmatic phenomena in astrophysics. Researchers now believe they are closer to understanding how supermassive black holes produce and accelerate these powerful cosmic outflows. …

A team of astronomers took a $150,000 gamble by pointing the Keck telescope, one of the world’s largest optical telescopes, at what appeared to be empty space in the universe. This high-stakes risk paid off spectacularly, revealing the first-ever detailed image of a galactic gas shroud extending 100,000 light years beyond its galaxy. The breakthrough, …

In the sci-fi film Waterworld, Earth’s polar ice caps melt entirely, raising sea levels to extreme heights. While Earth’s oceans may never reach those levels, astronomers have discovered planets far beyond our solar system that fit the description of true “water worlds.” These exoplanets, primarily composed of water, offer exciting insights into the diversity of …

PARIS: The astronomers who gave the world its first credible glimpse of a black hole have created another landmark picture, this time capturing the polarised light swirling around the magnetic fields of the same star-eating beast. However, it is not just a pretty image. Never before has polarisation — the property that causes light waves …
