Introduction The quest to capture the shadow of a black hole, a region from which no light can escape, has fascinated astronomers for decades. In a groundbreaking achievement, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has provided us with unprecedented views of the supermassive black hole at the heart of the M87 galaxy. This remarkable endeavor […]

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) mission is a ground-breaking project that aims to explore Jupiter and its icy moons. The mission is set to launch in 2022, and it will be the first-ever dedicated mission to explore the Jovian system. The scientific community is eagerly awaiting the results of this
Cassiopeia A is a fascinating object located in the constellation Cassiopeia, about 11,000 light-years away from Earth. It is a supernova remnant – the remains of a massive star that exploded at the end of its life. The explosion was so powerful that it released more energy in a few days than the Sun will

Space telescopes are revolutionary tools that have changed the way we understand the universe. These telescopes are placed in orbit around the Earth, far from the light pollution and atmospheric interference that limit ground-based observatories. Three of the most well-known space telescopes are the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Gaia spacecraft.
