Record-Sized Collision Between Black Holes Detected by Astronomers

Two black holes have collided in a merger that could revolutionize our understanding of black hole growth. Named GW 231123 after the date it was recorded on 23 November 2023, it’s the most massive black hole collision we’ve seen yet, resulting in an object heavier than 225 Suns. Previously, the most massive black hole collision produced an object 142 times the mass of […]

Astronomers Find a Wandering Planet With a Magnetic Field Millions of Times Earth’s

SIMP’s surface temperature exceeds 1,500°F—hot for a planet without a star. Key Takeaways _____ IMP: A Wandering Magnetic Marvel Astronomers have identified a remarkable rogue planet, SIMP J01365663+0933473, which roams the Milky Way without a parent star. This enigmatic object lies just 20 light-years away and boasts a magnetic field 4 million times stronger than

Astronomers Just Discovered The Biggest Explosions Since The Big Bang

A never-before-seen type of giant space explosion – the biggest bangs since the Big Bang â€“ has been accidentally captured by the Gaia space telescope. From the hearts of distant galaxies, the mapping telescope recorded sudden, extreme increases in brightness – colossal flares of light that lingered far longer than any such flares had been known to

The Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy have Already Begun Swapping Stars

High-velocity stars escaping at over 700 km/s are part of the Milky Way-Andromeda star swap. Key takeaways: _____________________ The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as M31, is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and the largest member of the Local Group. Recent findings reveal that these two galaxies, separated by 2.5 million light-years, have

Astronomers Call for Radio Silence On The Far Side of the Moon

The Moon’s far side blocks Earth’s radio signals, creating an ideal space for clean science. Key Takeaways ____________ Astronomers and space scientists are amplifying calls to preserve the Moon’s far side as a unique radio silence zone for scientific research. The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) hosted the inaugural Moon Farside Protection Symposium on March

It’s Official: Astronomers Have Discovered another Earth

In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope has identified an Earth-like planet, Kepler-186f, within the habitable zone, also known as the “Goldilocks zone,” of a neighboring star in the Cygnus constellation, approximately 500 light-years away. This marks the first time an Earth-sized planet has been found within the habitable zone of another star. What’s

BREAKING: Astronomers Have Found an Earth-Like Planet Practically Next-Door to Us

Astronomers have discovered a new exoplanet that is slightly larger than Earth and orbits a red dwarf star 66.5 light-years away.  It’s a good prospect, scientists think, to help cover our massive information vacuum regarding our Milky Way galaxy’s small, rocky planet population. Since the initial discovery of an exoplanet in 1992, our detection capabilities
