Radio astronomers using ALMA discovered a mysterious, extremely bright object called 'Punctum' in a nearby galaxy, which defies current understanding as it is brighter than known cosmic phenomena and disappears in certain wavelengths, prompting further investigation into its magnetic properties and nature.
Radio astronomers using ALMA discovered a mysterious, extremely bright object called Punctum in the galaxy NGC 4945, which outshines known cosmic phenomena and remains unexplained, prompting further investigation into its magnetic properties and nature.
Scientists discovered a mysterious, extremely bright cosmic object called Punctum in the galaxy NGC 4945, which challenges existing classifications due to its unprecedented luminosity and unique millimeter wavelength emissions, suggesting it may be a new type of astrophysical phenomenon. Future observations with the James Webb Space Telescope could provide further insights into its nature.
Scientists have discovered a mysterious, highly luminous compact object called Punctum in the galaxy NGC 4945, which emits intense millimeter radio waves and has a structured magnetic field, potentially representing a new type of astrophysical object. Further observations are needed to determine its nature, with possibilities including a magnetar or a supernova remnant, but it may be the first of its kind.
Scientists have discovered a mysterious, highly luminous object called Punctum in a nearby galaxy, which doesn't fit into known categories of astrophysical objects, and may represent a new type of celestial phenomenon, with further observations needed to understand its nature.
NASA scientists have discovered a cosmic fossil created by a supermassive black hole eruption over 5 million years ago in the spiral galaxy NGC 4945. Using the XMM-Newton space telescope, they observed X-rays outlining cold gas clouds, providing insight into how supermassive black holes influence their surroundings and guide galactic evolution. The galaxy, undergoing intense star formation, exhibits features of an active galactic nucleus, and the team theorizes that the black hole's eruption triggered this starburst period. Further observations will focus on understanding the black hole's influence on the galaxy's evolution and its potential role in quenching star formation.
NASA scientists have discovered X-ray activity in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 4945, shedding light on the evolution of galaxies. The activity, which outlines giant clouds of cold gas, is believed to have resulted from a black hole eruption some 5 million years ago. This finding provides insight into the influence of supermassive black holes compared to the effects of star formation in galaxy evolution. The discovery was made possible through data collected by the ESA satellite XMM-Newton and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.
NASA scientists at the Goddard Space Flight Center have discovered X-ray activity in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 4945, shedding light on galactic evolution. The activity, believed to be a relic of a particle jet erupting from the galaxy's central supermassive black hole 5 million years ago, has pushed cold gas through the galaxy, possibly triggering a starburst event. The findings provide insight into the influence of black holes compared to star formation in galaxy evolution, and the observations were made using ESA's XMM-Newton observatory, which has helped uncover a galactic "fossil" that may be the first of many.
