News: The gas between stars and galaxies was non-transparent in the early universe, and intense starlight could not penetrate it. However, 1 billion years after the great bang, the gas was entirely transparent. But what could be the possible reason for the gas being non-opaque? Why Were the Galaxies in the Early Universe Not Transparent? […]
Have you ever heard about a tiny collapsed star turning into a big diamond? Yes, that is true! As we all know the star is a white tiny item and the shriveled shell of a sun-like star that burnt off most of its fuel before collapsing. But, let’s find out what happens that become a […]

Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have discovered what they believe to be some of the greatest evidence yet for the presence of a rare type of intermediate-sized black hole lurking in the heart of the nearest globular star cluster to Earth, about 6,000 light-years distant. What are the formation, distribution, and rarity of intermediate-mass […]
Astronomers have discovered a giant black hole at the center of Messier 84 “M84” (a massive elliptical galaxy). This giant black hole is leaving an “H”-shaped structure in the multimillion-degree gas around it. Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, researchers mapped the hot gas in and around M84. This reveals the letter “H” formed by cavities […]
