Galaxies, auroras and a cosmic bat: Southern Sky astrophotography exhibition 2024

The article highlights the beauty and complexity of cosmic phenomena, including stellar nurseries, galaxies, and auroras, captured through extensive astronomical imaging.

This Black Hole Has a Cosmic Wingspan

A black hole named Porphyrion ejects energy across 23 million light-years, creating the largest cosmic jets ever discovered.
Black hole jets may influence galaxy evolution over immense distances.
Discovery sheds light on cosmic structure and the growth of galaxies.

A star could explode over Florida this week. Here's how to see it

T Coronae Borealis will ignite in an unprecedented explosion, potentially creating a dazzling sight observable from Earth for a week.

As if Times Weren't Unsettling Enough, Saturn Is Losing Its Rings

Saturn's rings are rapidly disappearing due to a phenomenon called 'ring rain,' posing a cosmic reminder of fragility in the universe.

What's Inside Our Galaxy's Darkest Place?

Recent advancements in observational technology allow for unprecedented views of celestial phenomena, highlighting both the chaotic and the serene aspects of the universe.

Are tiny black holes zipping through our solar system? Scientists hope to find out.

The universe may contain microscopic black holes that could help explain the dark matter mystery through their gravitational effects on planetary orbits.

Longest, strongest black hole jets of all-time discovered

Individual cosmic objects can create vast structures and influence their environments significantly.
The discovery of Porphyrion reshapes our understanding of the influence of single objects in the universe.

Black holes as big as atoms might be speeding through the Solar System

Primordial black holes pass through the inner Solar System about once a decade, offering potential for scientific detection and discovery.

Astronomers Simulated How A Supermassive Black Hole Annihilates A Star - And It Is A Must-See

Tidal disruption events reveal surprising characteristics in black hole interactions with stars, displaying unexpected emission and temperature profiles.

The astrophysicists who want to reveal the greatest mystery of our galaxy

Gamma-ray astronomy was accidentally discovered through a surveillance program in the Cold War era.
Fermi gamma-ray space telescope is instrumental in observing gamma-ray bursts and studying violent phenomena in the cosmos.
