Scientists chasing black holes came across a rare event.
A new study has shown that an explosion first discovered in 2020 is the largest ever observed in the universe. The explosion, named AT2021lwx, is 10 times brighter than a supernova and 3 times brighter than a tidal disruption event.
In a new study published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature, an old star swallowing a planet has been observed for the first time. According to NASA and the scientific community, Earth will face a similar end in the distant future. Discovery made…
Scientists have succeeded in observing an event that has not been observed before and that we will experience in a few billion years.
We may be on the verge of a major breakthrough in our search for other worlds that can support life. Astronomers used the highly advanced instruments of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope in a space in the constellation Virgo, 26 light-years from Earth.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers imaged a black hole swallowing a star in a galaxy 137 million light-years away. This is the first time the so-called “tidal disturbance event” has been seen at such close range.
