Planets, stars, galaxies and even their clusters revolve in the Universe. The latter is not known for certain, which is why many scientists believe that the phenomenon ends on these huge structures. Meanwhile, cosmologists from the Institute of Astrophysics. Leibniz in Potsdam believe: even cosmic filaments – giant “tubes” from galaxies, rotate. “There are […]

An unknown source of energy is seen in a new panorama of the center of our galaxy – photo
American scientists stitched together 370 separate images and observations of the center of our galaxy in different spectra (mainly X-ray), obtaining an image of unprecedented clarity and completeness. An unknown energy source is visible in this mosaic, the Chandra X-ray Observatory press service writes. The center of the Galaxy is relatively close to us, […]
Previously unknown “bridges” of dark matter between galaxies discovered – research
An international group of astrophysicists has developed a new model of the distribution of dark matter in the local Universe using machine learning – and discovered previously unknown filamentous structures-bridges between galaxies in it. They reported this in the Astrophysical Journal, writes SciTechDaily. According to the latest data, the observable Universe consists of 4.9% […]
A cosmic photon with a monstrous energy registered: 1.4 quadrillion electron volts
The Large Alpine Air Showers Observatory in Sichuan in southwestern China reported a photon with the highest energy ever observed, 1.4 petaelectronvolts (1.4 x 1015 eV). Such a discovery could lead to a serious change in the established ideas about our Galaxy, writes the press service of LHAASO. The results of the study will also […]
NASA Showed The Brainwashing World Of The “hypnotic Dance” Of A Pair Of Supermassive Black Holes: Video
The US Aerospace Administration showed a visualization of what a pair of supermassive black holes looks like in a binary system. The video shows how these unusual cosmic objects distort the rays of light emitted by their accretion disks – “whirlpools” of gas heated to high temperatures during the prolonged fall of matter to the […]
A giant flashing light was seen in space: a black hole is gradually “biting off” from a star – video
Astronomers have discovered and studied 20 recurring flares 570 million light years away – the ASASSN-14ko phenomenon. Using data from two telescopes (Swift Observatory and TESS), they concluded that a supermassive black hole in the galaxy ESO 253-3 generates the cosmic “flasher”, which gradually absorbs a star trapped in a gravitational trap. The center […]
