The proximity of a supermassive black hole is a pretty strange place to start, but in 2020, astronomers found six objects orbiting Sagittarius A* that…
Physicists discover a new state of matter similar to liquid
They have called it liquid Bose and to detect it a quantum experiment had to be carried out Solid, liquid and gas. In the everyday…
Astronomers investigated spectral changes of blazar DO 287 and found something spooky
Blazars are very compact quasars associated with supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of active giant elliptical galaxies. Using NASA’s Neil Gherels Swift Observatory,…
Astronomers discover a “quasi-moon” that has traveled alongside the Earth for more than 2,100 years
It is believed that it will remain in that orbit until around the year 3700: it could be useful as a stopover on future manned…

Image credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/SAO; Optical: Detlef Hartmann; Infrared: NASA/JPL-Caltech Excitement is growing among astronomers as it is the closest supernova explosion in nearly a decade.…
Strange fireballs lit up the sky over Okinawa in Japan
On March 10, unusual activity was detected in the sky over southern Japan: mysterious fireballs were seen in the sky at night. As reported by…
Gamma-ray burst: NASA shows what the biggest burst of all time was like
Astronomers believe these outbursts represent the birth cries of black holes that formed when the cores of massive stars collapsed under their own weight. NASA…
For the first time in history, physicists see the formation of particles through quantum tunneling
Chemistry requires effort. Whether it’s raising the temperature, making the atoms more likely to meet in a hot collision, or turning up the pressure and…
Astronomers detect 6 massive galaxies so old they can’t be explained by science
The six candidate galaxies identified in the JWST data. / NASA, ESA, CSA, I. Labbe/Swinburne University of Technology The SextetThe finding came from observations made…
Ann Hodges was the only human being in recorded history to be hit by a meteorite. 1954
Her name was Ann Hodges and she went down in history for starring in the only officially recorded case of someone being struck by a…
