Webb spots greedy supermassive black hole in early Universe
Wednesday, 19 November 2025 10:00
Researchers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed an actively growing supermassive black hole within a galaxy just 570 million years after the Big Bang. Part of a class of small, very distant galaxies that have mystified astronomers, CANUCS-LRD-z8.6 represents a vital piece of this puzzle and challenges existing theories about the formation of galaxies and black holes in the early Universe. The discovery connects early black holes with the luminous quasars we observe today.

Gravitational wave detectors complete two year campaign with record signal count
Wednesday, 19 November 2025 06:16
The LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA collaborations have finished their fourth observation campaign, known as O4, marking the longest and most comprehensive period of coordinated gravitational wave monitoring to date. Initiated in May 2023 and spanning more than two years, the campaign involved simultaneous data analysis and resulted in the detection of 250 new gravitational signals, which account for mor Kepler sets January launch for optical data relay satellites to expand in-orbit connectivity
Wednesday, 19 November 2025 06:16
Kepler Communications has scheduled the launch of ten 300-kilogram-class satellites in January 2026, marking the operational rollout of its optical data relay constellation. The launch will use a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. Each satellite will carry a minimum of four optical terminals that enable high-throughput laser links for space, air, and ground data transm Machine learning tool distinguishes signs of life from non-living compounds in space samples
