The plot has just thickened in the mystery tale about the unseen mass skulking inside the largest cluster of stars in the Milky Way galaxy.

In the heart of Omega Centauri, a huge glob of gravitationally bound stars over 17,000 light-years away, astronomers have just uncovered evidence of an entire swarm of stellar-mass black holes.

Scientists have long known that light can sometimes appear to exit a material before entering it – an effect dismissed as an illusion caused by how waves are distorted by matter.

Now, researchers at the University of Toronto, through innovative quantum experiments, say they have demonstrated that “negative time” isn’t just a theoretical idea – it exists in a tangible, physical sense, deserving closer scrutiny.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is about to make history, once again.

On Christmas Eve, the spacecraft is going to get closer to the Sun than any human-made object ever has, traveling at speeds faster than any human-made object has traveled.

In its 22nd close flyby, the probe will skim just 6.1 million kilometers (3.8 million miles) from the surface of the Sun, speeding by at around 192 km per second.

A few years ago, a radio telescope operating out of the desert of Western Australia observed something very weird.

Just 4,000 light-years from Earth, something was emitting a bright radio signal like nothing we’d ever seen before: flashing like a pulsar, but with a super long period between pulses, and a super long pulse itself. The nature of the source was impossible, at that point, to discern.

The term quasar comes from quasi-stellar objects, a name that reflected our uncertainty about their nature. The first quasars were discovered solely because of their radio emissions, with no corresponding visual objects. This is surprising since quasars blaze with the light of trillions of stars.

In recent observations, the Hubble examined a historical quasar named 3C 273, the first quasar to be linked with a visual object.

Our Sun is not a peaceful place. It roils with convection; its magnetic field snaps, finds a connection, snaps again. It unleashes eruptions of energy in the form of violent flares, and plasma in the form of coronal mass ejections.

Most of this activity lacks sufficient punch to harm us… but every now and then, the Sun erupts with a flare powerful enough to do serious damage. And we don’t know how often such events occur. Previous estimates have the range between once a century and once a millennium.

One of the strangest galaxies in the neighborhood of the Milky Way has just presented astronomers with a fascinating mystery.

It’s called Centaurus A, and huge jets of plasma shooting from its central supermassive black hole have slammed into something as they travel into intergalactic space.
