The Infinity Galaxy might be home to a newborn supermassive black hole that formed directly from a gas cloud instead of a star. Could this help reveal how these objects formed in the early universe?
You know the saying: “when gas-rich galaxies collide, young massive star clusters will soon reside” … well maybe you’ll know the saying after reading this astrobite!
How do you search through 99.6 million images for weird and interesting galaxies? Instead of wasting years of your life doing it manually, you can use AnomalyMatch.
How do you distinguish between home-grown and imported stars in the Milky Way? You use the Gaia space observatory, of course!
The amplitude of the gravitational wave background is too high for the number of supermassive black holes that we’ve observed! Find out how we can resolve this issue in today’s bite
Galaxy mergers represent a transformative evolutionary path, inducing notable morphological and compositional changes in the involved galaxies. The alterations in the intrinsic characteristics during these collisions serve as a crucial probe, providing insights into the real-time occurrence of such processes.
