Astronomers have spotted an absolutely colossal cosmic chimney that stretches as far as 140 Milky Ways lined up side by side. These jumbo jets are being blasted from a supermassive black hole.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Black hole, Su… Continue reading Colossal cosmic jets unleash trillion-Sun energy across 140 Milky Ways
Supermassive black holes have been known to belch gigantic beams of plasma into space – and now scientists have managed to recreate these fireballs in a lab at CERN.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Black hole, Supermassive black hole, As… Continue reading Plasma fireballs from black holes are now being made here on Earth
What would it look like to fall into a black hole? It’s a question basically everyone has pondered, and now NASA has finally given us a first-person view of the experience with scientifically-accurate visualizations produced by a supercomputer.Continue… Continue reading Video: Death by black hole looks absolutely stunning
Look at the development of Earth-bound tech and you’ll find fire at the heart of it, says a duo of researchers. And what does fire need to burn? Oxygen, whose chemical signature could provide clues to technological societies on worlds beyond our own.Co… Continue reading How the ‘oxygen bottleneck’ could help spot exoplanets with alien tech
Researchers from MIT and the University of Birmingham (UB) believe that they’ve cracked the formula for detecting habitable planets using currently available technology. It all has to do with an exoplanet’s levels of carbon dioxide and ozone.Continue R… Continue reading Exoplanet water-detection strategy now possible, say researchers
Some scientists are working to tackle climate change or cure cancer, but others are more focused on figuring out if time travel really would follow Back to the Future rules. From where “love” is felt in the body, to the scientific value of giant piles … Continue reading AI, aliens and giant poo piles: Weirdest science stories of 2023
Black holes are famous for gobbling up anything that gets too close – but could they ever be swallowed whole? A new study suggests that it’s possible that stars could capture very small black holes and keep them in their cores. There might even be a wa… Continue reading Some stars could swallow black holes – here’s how we can find them

One of the biggest cosmological mysteries centers on a discrepancy in how fast the universe is expanding. A new study comes to an intriguing solution by applying a modified theory of gravity and an unsettling “supervoid” that our galaxy resides in.Cont… Continue reading How a “supervoid” and modified gravity could solve a cosmic conundrum
Sustained radio emissions originating from high over a sunspot are getting researchers thinking in new directions. Unlike solar radio bursts — which typically last only minutes or hours — these …read more Continue reading Radio Emissions Over Sunspots Challenge Models of Stellar Magnetism
