Astronomers Uncover Possibly the Largest Black Hole: It ‘Bends Light into a Giant Einstein Ring’

Astronomers Uncover Possibly the Largest Black Hole: It ‘Bends Light into a Giant Einstein Ring’

The Cosmic Horseshoe gravitational lens: The newly discovered ultramassive blackhole lies at the centre of the orange galaxy. Far behind it is a blue galaxy that is being warped into the horseshoe shaped ring by distortions in spacetime created by the immense mass of the foreground orange galaxy.

Giant planet found orbiting tiny star ‘should not exist’, astronomers say |

Giant planet found orbiting tiny star ‘should not exist’, astronomers say |

Astronomers have discovered a giant planet named TOI-6894b orbiting a very small red dwarf star that has only one-fifth the mass of the Sun. Despite the star’s small size and low brightness, TOI-6894b is larger than Saturn but has only half its mass. This surprising discovery challenges previous ideas that such tiny stars cannot form or hold large gas planets. …

A Bridge Of Lost Stars Betrays Two Giant Galaxies In The Midst Of Destruction

A Bridge Of Lost Stars Betrays Two Giant Galaxies In The Midst Of Destruction

Astronomers have captured the first optical evidence of a million-light-year-long bridge of stars being torn from one massive galaxy and pulled into another, a rare galactic interaction occurring in the Abell 3667 galaxy cluster, located about 700 million light-years from Earth. The discovery, published August 5 in The Astrophysical Journal, reveals a dramatic cosmic merger between two galaxy clusters, each …

‘The most significant JWST finding to date’: James Webb telescope spots giant planet in the habitable zone of the closest sun-like star to Earth

There might be a huge planet lurking near one of the closest stars to Earth. NASA‘s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has imaged a possible planet near Alpha Centauri A, a sun-like star that forms part of the triplet Alpha Centauri star group. The mini-cluster is just four light-years from Earth and is a rich ground for astronomers to learn …

For giant carnivorous dinosaurs, big size didn’t mean a big bite

For giant carnivorous dinosaurs, big size didn’t mean a big bite

“And then you have the Spinosaurus which was kind of weird in general,” Rowe says.  “There was a study by Dave Hone and Tom Holtz about how it was waiting on the shorelines, waiting for food to go by that it could fish out.” But Spinosaurus’ foraging wasn’t limited to fishing. There was a pterosaur found preserved in its stomach …
