Astronomers have discovered a unique object, S301, moving along an elongated orbit around the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Its distinctive features may help scientists measure the rotation of the black hole Sagittarius A* for the first time.
Astronomers have observed an unusual dimming of the star ASASSN-24fw, caused by the passage of an unknown object. The reasons behind this phenomenon remain unclear, and various hypotheses are currently being considered.
Astronomers have discovered an object in the CT Cha system whose mass is 14 to 24 times greater than that of Jupiter, surrounded by a disk of gas and dust—a rare opportunity to observe the birth of moons around a young planet. The chemical composition of this disk is noticeably different from the material surrounding the star, raising new questions for scientists about how moons and planets form.
