NASA Telescope Spots ‘Cosmic Fireworks’ and Faint Echo from Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole
Astronomers have spotted flashes and echoes coming from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). These “cosmic fireworks” and X-ray echoes can…
Hubble telescope maps high-speed ‘extrusions’ from nearby feeding supermassive black hole for first time
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have mapped, for the first time ever, the plasma “burps” of a supermassive black hole-powered quasar that resides relatively close to Earth. While supermassive…
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Telescope Captures Closest Cluster of Superstars to Earth (Image)
It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s a super star cluster! NASA’s Chandra X-ray telescope has imaged a star cluster that is “super” in every way. Westerlund 1 is super…
The Webb Telescope captures the massive asteroid collision in the neighboring star system
Astronomers observed a giant asteroid impact in Beta Pictoris, using data from the Webb and Spitzer telescopes. The event, which occurred 20 years ago, provides new insights into early planetary…
The James Webb Telescope detects the most distant supernova ever seen
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the oldest and most distant supernova ever seen – a stellar explosion that occurred when the universe was only 1.8 billion years old.…
