The monster black hole at the center of our galaxy may be unleashing huge, gassy explosions — and now, astronomers think they’ve pinpointed the exact spot where that superheated gas is spilling into the Milky Way. Acting like a gargantuan exhaust vent, the newly discovered feature is a bright region of X-ray energy that’s nearly […]

The Hubble Space Telescope has temporarily stopped observing the cosmos. Nasa said the telescope slipped into a hibernating state more than a week ago, when one of its three remaining gyroscopes, part of the pointing system, malfunctioned. The same device has been acting up for months and disrupting scientific operations. Hubble remains safe but inactive as flight […]

By […]
