Astronomers, using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Chandra X-ray Observatory, have discovered a supermassive black hole in a galaxy just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. This black hole is consuming matter at more than 40 times the theoretical limit. While its rapid growth is likely short-lived, it could offer valuable insights into how supermassive black holes grew so quickly in the early Universe, shedding light on their surprising presence at the centers of many galaxies today.

A breakthrough in ancient manuscript restoration
Scientists unveil an innovative technique to restore fragile texts, unlocking lost knowledge from the past.
Ancient manuscripts hold valuable historical insights, but over time, age and poor storage conditions can damage their readability and erase important details. A new study in PLoS ONE introduces a restoration method that removes degradation patterns from aged color manuscripts. This approach uses single-sided RGB images, eliminating the need for recto-verso alignment. By individually analyzing and detecting patterns, the technique enhances clarity and preserves historical information more effectively.
Penguin poop’s significantly impacts climate change
The findings establish a direct link between ecosystem activity and atmospheric processes.
Penguins play a surprising role in shaping Antarctica's atmosphere! A new study found that ammonia from penguin colonies, rather than the ocean, helps form new particles in the air when mixed with sulfuric acid from marine phytoplankton. Scientists used sensitive instruments to measure gases and particles on the Antarctic Peninsula, revealing how these processes contribute to cloud formation.
An ancient alien city lies on the dark side of the...
NASA’s LRO has made its most important discovery.
NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has been mapping the Moon since 2009, helping identify important scientific sites and potential landing areas for future missions. Recently, Scott Waring, a self-proclaimed UFO expert, claimed to have spotted a giant alien city on the Moon using Google’s Moon map. He shared his findings on his blog, saying he discovered a 9-mile-long (15 km) structure in the De Moraes Crater.
Mapping Our Cosmic Neighborhood: A 3D View of Near-Earth Objects
Watch all the known near-Earth asteroids and comets in real-time.
Astronomers discover many asteroids and comets each year, some of which are near-Earth objects (NEOs) that move through the inner solar system. NASA-funded researchers track these objects to identify potential threats to Earth. To help visualize them, NASA launched Eyes on Asteroids, a 3D real-time tool that shows NEOs moving through Earth’s orbital neighborhood.
