You’d assume that the brightest object in the known universe would be a pretty easy thing to discover, but astronomers have only just spotted it. This overlooked show-off is a supermassive black hole with the mass of 17 billion Suns, and counting – it … Continue reading Brightest object in the universe swallows a Sun every day
When we first developed telescopes, we started using them on the ground. Humanity was yet to master powered flight, you see, to say nothing of going beyond into space. As …read more Continue reading They Want To Put A Telescope In A Crater On The Moon
Mobile apps and AI processing are making things a lot easier for would-be stargazers, who no longer have to fiddle with focusing using cold fingers or even track and identify celestial objects – smart telescopes take care of all that for you. The lates… Continue reading Celestron “home observatory” lets users view the cosmos on a smart TV

Astronomers have discovered the most distant – and therefore earliest – known black hole. Hiding in a galaxy called GN-z11, this black hole is bigger than should be possible given the age of the universe.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Bl… Continue reading Most distant black hole discovered, but it’s “impossibly massive”
It’s safe to say that French smart telescope innovator Vaonis took the internet by storm last year with the launch of the book-sized Hestia. Now the company has returned to its Vespera model for a second-generation upgrade.Continue ReadingCategory: Tec… Continue reading Vaonis Vespera II smart telescope captures the cosmos in 4K
French smart telescope maker Unistellar has been on a mission to make stargazing easier for amateurs for years, and has now launched its cheapest models to date. The Odyssey range packs in Nikon optics, brings autofocus, and allows for observation of n… Continue reading Odyssey telescopes allow city stargazers to view nearby planets and beyond
In the realm of amateur astronomy, enthusiasts find themselves navigating a cosmos in perpetual motion. Planets revolve around stars, which, in turn, orbit within galaxies. But the axial rotation of …read more Continue reading Telescope Rides on 3D Printed Equatorial Table
Looking at all the stars in the night sky, you’d never notice that one of them wasn’t from around here. Astronomers have now found that a star right near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way likely originated in a smaller galaxy t… Continue reading Ancient extragalactic star discovered at the heart of the Milky Way
The Earth’s atmosphere has been blasted by the second strongest ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) to ever be observed. While its exact origins remain unknown, astrophysicists are pointing the finger at the Local Void, a fundamentally empty area of th… Continue reading Did the Local Void shoot a monster extreme-energy cosmic ray our way?
