Black hole falls into star and consumes it from inside
በAI የተዘገበ
Astronomers have observed a rare event where a black hole fell into a companion star and ate its way out, producing the longest-known gamma-ray burst. The burst, lasting about seven hours, was detected 9 billion light-years from Earth. This unusual scenario explains the extended duration of the phenomenon.
JWST uncovers chaotic early galaxies in young universe
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have found that the universe's first galaxies were turbulent and disorderly, far from the stable structures seen today. Led by University of Cambridge researchers, the study examined over 250 galaxies from when the universe was 800 million to 1.5 billion years old. These findings challenge prior views and show a transition from cosmic chaos to ordered formation.
Astronomers achieve sharpest view of distant star using single telescope
A UCLA-led team has captured the most detailed image ever of a disk around the distant star beta Canis Minoris using a innovative photonic lantern on a single telescope. This breakthrough reveals hidden structures without needing multiple telescopes. The discovery uncovers a lopsided hydrogen disk 162 light-years away.
