Strange radio signals detected from exoplanet almost 63 light-years from Earth
Researchers have observed unusual radio signals from Beta Pictoris b, an exoplanet located 63 light-years away. These signals, detected using the MeerKAT radio telescope, are associated with auroras produced by the planet's magnetic field. The emission identified as electron cyclotron maser radiation indicates a magnetic field strength of approximately 1.25 kG. This discovery marks the first direct localization of auroral radio activity from an exoplanet.
A planet 63 light-years away is sending repeating radio bursts, and scientists can read them for the first time. Here’s what it reveals about the alien world
Astronomers detected repeating radio bursts from exoplanet Beta Pictoris b. These emissions originate from powerful auroras on the distant world. The signals provide a rare direct measurement of the planet's magnetic field. Scientists calculated Beta Pictoris b possesses a magnetic field stronger than Earth's. This discovery offers a new method to study exoplanet magnetic environments.
This powerful UFO isn’t alien life, it’s a black hole unleashing a cosmic storm
A mysterious object speeding across the universe might look like a UFO, but the real story is even more fascinating. Scientists have discovered a supermassive black hole unleashing powerful winds at incredible speeds from a distant galaxy. These cosmic storms are strong enough to influence how galaxies grow and how stars are born. The finding offers a rare window into the universe's most active era billions of years ago.
Intergalactic predators? James Webb data hints supermassive black holes may act like cosmic killers, preventing star birth in distant galaxies
New research reveals that active supermassive black holes can suppress star formation in neighboring galaxies across vast intergalactic distances, extending their influence far beyond their host galaxies. This "galactic ecosystem" effect, observed through James Webb Space Telescope data, suggests a more interconnected evolution of galaxies in the early universe.
Scientists capture images of two black holes orbiting each other 5 billion lightyears away for the first time
Scientists have captured the first radio image of two supermassive black holes orbiting each other. This event occurred inside a quasar named OJ287, located billions of light-years away. The image validates a long-held prediction about these celestial bodies. The black holes were detected through particle jets and glowing gas. This groundbreaking observation confirms the existence of orbiting black hole pairs.
Finnish astronomers capture first-ever image of two orbiting black holes
Finnish astronomers have spotted the first-ever image of two black holes orbiting each other, verifying these cosmic voids can appear in pairs. The findings, published October 9 in the Astrophysical Journal, highlights the quasar OJ287, situated 5 billion light-years from Earth. The huge primary black hole, approximately 18 billion times the sun’s mass, and its smaller, orbit each other every 12 years.

First-ever cosmic duel caught: One galaxy blasted another in deep space battle 11 billion light-years away
Astronomers have observed a "cosmic joust" between two galaxies colliding at immense speed over 11 billion light-years away. The collision reveals how a quasar's intense radiation disrupts star formation in a neighboring galaxy by fragmenting gas clouds. This observation confirms theories about quasar influence and provides insights into early galaxy evolution during the universe's formative years.
How cosmic structures with size nearly nine times the diameter of the Milky Way shaped galaxies billions of years ago
Astronomers discover an 850,000 light-year-long cosmic filament in the early universe, providing insights into large-scale structures from 11.7 billion years ago. This filament, spanning nearly nine times the diameter of the Milky Way, offers valuable information on galaxy formation and cosmic evolution.
Astronomers spot the largest cosmic giant of its kind in the distant universe
Astronomers have discovered an enormous radio jet stretching over 200,000 light-years from a quasar in the early universe, offering rare insights into cosmic evolution. The jet, the largest of its kind from this era, was detected using powerful radio telescopes, overcoming challenges posed by cosmic background radiation. This finding confirms that even smaller black holes in the young universe could produce vast energy outflows, shaping galaxies and spreading magnetism far beyond their host systems.

Early universe five times slower, study finds, adds to space expansion proof
Astronomers have found that if they were able to look back at the universe shortly after the Big Bang, time would have appeared to be five times slower than it does today. Researchers studying 190 quasars, or hyperactive supermassive black holes at the centres of early galaxies, have discovered that the universe appeared to speed up as it aged.
