Astronomers Discover Rapidly Feeding Black Hole in Early Universe.
A groundbreaking discovery made by a team of astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed a low-mass supermassive black hole at the center of a distant galaxy, only 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. The black hole, located in the galaxy LID-568, is consuming matter at […]

Black Hole Insights: The Bekenstein-Hawking Formula and the Nature of Space-Time.
A groundbreaking formula established in the 1970s by Stephen Hawking and Jacob Bekenstein continues to illuminate our understanding of black holes and the fabric of space-time. Though first identified by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916, black holes remained largely theoretical for decades. “They were discovered as purely geometric objects—essentially, just empty space,” noted Yuk Ting […]
Exploring the Mystery of Vega: Insights from Hubble and Webb Observations.
Left: A false-color view from the Hubble Space Telescope reveals a 100-billion-mile-wide disk of dust around the star Vega. Hubble detects reflected light from smoke-sized particles forming a smooth halo on the disk’s periphery, with no large planets evident. The central black spot obscures the star’s bright glow.

30 years on, NASA’s wind technology is an unexpected achievement for studying our neighborhood in space.
In 1994, The first World Wide Web conference took place in Geneva, the Chunnel train traversed the English Channel, and the first Russian instrument on a U.S. spacecraft launched into deep space from Cape Canaveral. Among these mission was the launch of NASA’s Wind mission, designed to study the solar wind. It has since […]
Strong Solar Flare Erupts from the Sun on Hallowee.
