Did Betelgeuse just consume a companion star? In the vast expanse of our night sky, few stars have captured the imagination of both astronomers and the public quite like Betelgeuse. This red supergiant, marking the right shoulder of the constellation Orion, has been the subject of intense scientific scrutiny in recent years. Now, groundbreaking research […]
Closest Intermediate-Mass Black Hole To Earth The study of black holes has always fascinated astronomers, especially when it comes to intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), which lie between stellar mass and supermassive black holes. Recent research has provided compelling evidence for the existence of an IMBH in the globular cluster Omega Centauri, the most massive cluster
Radio telescopes are sophisticated instruments that allow astronomers to explore the universe in the radio spectrum. Unlike optical telescopes that collect visible light, radio telescopes capture radio waves emitted by celestial objects. This capability is crucial for studying astronomical phenomena that are invisible in the optical range, such as pulsars, quasars, and cosmic microwave background
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

Astronomy is a field of science that has always relied on advanced technology to observe and analyze the universe. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the field of astronomy, unlocking new discoveries and insights. One particular application of AI in astronomy is the use of ADMM-based machine learning models to deblur galaxy images.

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
