Scientists continue to unravel the mystery of supermassive black holes, the universe's most powerful gravitational traps found at the centre of galaxies. New research is helping astronomers better understand how these cosmic giants form, grow and influence the evolution of galaxies, offering fresh insights into some of the most extreme environments in the universe.


Supermassive Black Holes: Why black holes don't run out of fuel

Scientists continue to unravel the mystery of supermassive black holes, the universe's most powerful gravitational traps found at the centre of galaxies. New research is helping astronomers better understand how these cosmic giants form, grow and influence the evolution of galaxies, offering fresh insights into some of the most extreme environments in the universe.

The NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory has officially launched its Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), a groundbreaking 10-year mission set to transform astronomy. The observatory will capture an ultra-detailed, high-definition map of the southern sky, helping scientists study everything from dark matter and dark energy to asteroids, supernovae and distant galaxies.

Scientists are studying a mysterious structure inside the Milky Way that could potentially point to the existence of a wormhole. Though still theoretical, the discovery has sparked renewed interest in black holes, deep space mysteries and the hidden architecture of our galaxy.

Scientists Investigate Possible Wormhole Inside The Milky Way

Galaxies created in the lab offer a view into what they looked like during formation and also how they might sound. This simulation was made as part of the COLIBRE project, and scientists have made a realistic-looking cosmic event.

A JetBlue Airbus A320 flight bound for New Jersey experienced a sudden, unexplained drop of thousands of feet, injuring several passengers and prompting experts to consider a cosmic explanation. Scientists suggest that a high-energy cosmic ray, possibly originating from a supernova explosion in a distant galaxy, may have corrupted the aircraft's computer system, leading to the abrupt loss of altitude.

Prepare to witness the cosmos like never before. Astronomers have released two extraordinary images reshaping how we see our galaxy. The first: a 32-hour exposure of the Lion Nebula, revealing a stellar nursery bursting with newborn stars and interstellar gas. The second: the most detailed radio map of the Milky Way ever produced, capturing the invisible magnetic fields and cosmic energy shaping our galaxy’s vast structure.
From the glowing Lion Nebula to the hidden skeleton of the Milky Way, this is a jaw-dropping look at the universe’s unseen forces — and a reminder of how much we still have to discover.

A gravitational wave event detected in 2019 might have led astronomers to discover the first wormhole in the universe. LIGO and Virgo picked up the wave that lasted less than a tenth of a second. Scientists analysed the event and deduced that it was the result of a collision between two black holes. However, six years later, they think they might have been partly wrong. While the scientists still think that a merger between two black holes triggered the waves, it probably didn't happen in our universe. Instead, what we witnessed was the reverberation from an alternate universe that reached us through a wormhole. The signal named GW190521 is still the "preferred interpretation", as per researchers of a new study, but they are not denying the wormhole theory either. The revelation was made by physicist Qi Lai of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in a preprint uploaded to arXiv.

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!
