A black hole bomb has been created on Earth. Physicists took a 56-year-old idea and built on it using another theory, triggering an explosion in a lab. Science & Tech Trending

56-year-old theory is proven right as 'Black Hole bomb' explodes in a lab

A previously dormant black hole located in the galaxy SDSS1335+0728, situated in the Virgo constellation around 300 million light years from Earth, is now emitting regular X-ray flares, according to a new study published in Nature Astronomy.


'300 million light-years away’: Scientists discover a giant black hole awakening from deep sleep in the Virgo constellation

A previously inactive supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy SDSS1335+0728, located around 300 million light-years away, has started producing intense X-ray flares.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has observed that most distant galaxies rotate in a preferred direction. Data from the JADES survey suggests that around two-thirds spin clockwise, while the remaining third rotate counter-clockwise, challenging expectations of a random distribution.

Stars have a life and death cycle. Those that are about eight times more massive than the Sun explode as supernovae at the end of their lives. They leave behind a black hole or a neutron star which are extremely bright, even more than their host galaxies.

A massive water reservoir unlike any other has just been discovered in the universe. Scientists have spotted a region in space which contains as much water as 100 trillion times all the oceans on Earth combined.

NASA has discovered a supermassive black hole that killed one star and is now using the wreckage to destroy another star or black hole. The Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes combined to spot the black hole that is on a killer mission.

Space is a mysterious and dangerous place. While we know that black holes can swallow up whole planets, some things are far scarier than them. Apart from black holes, various objects in the universe can pose a threat to not only our planet but the whole solar system.

If you think black holes are the most dangerous objects in space, you’re wrong

Two galaxies with two black holes each caught in the act of merging by NASA. The event has been observed in two dwarf galaxies by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. Scientists say merge will provide insight into the formation of galaxies in the early universe. Extraordinary images of two dwarf galaxies, Mirabilis and Elstir & Vinteuil captured. Discovery will help us understand how galaxies like our Milky Way formed. Watch to know more!

In a stunning discovery, astronomers spotted the eruption of the largest twin jets from a black hole that can stretch for around 23 million light-years, which is equivalent to lined-up 140 Milky Way galaxies.

Scientists have suggested that a tiny black hole is likely to pass through our solar system after every decade and this can be spotted by observing the wobbling of Mars.

A 'primordial' black hole will pass through our solar system every 10 years. Will it harm?

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has caught a supermassive black hole in the early universe starving its galaxy to death. Galaxies die when star formation no longer happens.

JWST captures near dead galaxy in ancient universe. 'We found the culprit'

The supermassive black hole located at the centre of our galaxy has been spinning extremely fast and out of orientation with the rest of the galaxy. The reason behind this behaviour and how it came into existence has been a mystery.

In a new study, scientists have suggested that advanced alien civilisations may have been migrating near miniature black holes to fulfil the energy needs of their home planets.

Scientists have found a new connection between dark matter particles and supermassive black holes (SMBHs) which has the potential to resolve the longstanding “final parsec problem” in the field of astronomy.

Scientists find the force behind the black hole mergers. It's mysterious dark matter!

Scientists have been stunned to discover another intermediate-mass black hole at the centre of a star cluster in the Milky Way, which is close to the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (SgrA*).

Stars at the centre of our galaxy appear younger even though they are quite old, a team of researchers has stated in a paper. These stars appear to be feeding off an unlikely source, a team of scientists from Stanford and Stockholm Universities that studied the stars have claimed.

A fountain of youth is feeding the stars at the core of our galaxy

A latest international study indicates that astronomers might have chanced upon a never-before phenomenon - the awakening of a Black Hole in a faraway Galaxy. In this report, we'll break this down for you and explain why it matters.

Gravitas: Is this "Black Hole Awakening" the biggest find in Astronomy?

Astronomers have traced the mysterious brightening of a distant galaxy in the Virgo constellation to the awakening of a colossal black hole, estimated to be 1 million times more massive than the sun.
