Stars are looking at a black hole
Astronomers have detected a radio signal from a black hole known as Sagittarius A* for the first time. The signal was found in images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of Centauri, a cluster of 10 million stars around 18,000 light-years from Solar System. The black hole could be at least 8,200 times as big…

There is a accretion structure connecting a black hole and jet
Scientists have decoded the origins of the first-ever image of a black hole, using the Event Horizon Telescope’s (EHT) data. They found a cone of radio emissions coming from the black holes in the same direction as the jet. The M87* image of a black hole was first spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope in…

A new view of the creation is captured by the telescope.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has recorded the first image of a star nursery, the ‘Pillars of Creation’. Scientists said that the images suggest that early galaxies have already developed well-organised structures out of many stars rather than being distorted or faint as previous studies with the Hubble Space Telescope suggested. “This field is design…

Magnetic fields in stars have been probed.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has studied three Sun-like stars and found their magnetic field deep in their interiors. It found that the “Accelerator Zone” of the Vela wind nebula is highly ordered and symmetrical, which could give clues about why these nebulae are so powerful. HST has also found evidence of magnetic fields at…

Nature’s 10.
NASA has shared the first high-resolution image of Pillars of Creation from the James Webb Space Telescope. “We want to capture this image using the James Webb, after seeing a lot of demand,” a scientist working on the telescope wrote on social media. The image was captured in conjunction with an image from Hubble Space…

Diamonds shine in the new telescope image.
Researchers have shared the first images of’Pillars of Creation’, a star-forming region in our Solar System. The image was taken using NASA’s James Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope’s PEARLS, a near-infrared camera, at a high redshift. “When knots with sufficient mass form…they begin to collapse under their own gravity, slowly heat up, and eventually…
