An Intermediate-mass black hole has been identified in heart of Omega Centauri, Milky Way’s most massive star cluster, providing support to age-old theory regarding galactic evolution.
Daksha would be an invaluable tool to study flares from the Sun, X-rays from certain pulsating neutron stars, gamma-ray lightnings in the Earth's atmosphere, and so on.
Findings were made after an observation period of nearly 15 years using 'cosmic clocks' called pulsars — rapidly spinning neutron stars that emit bursts of energy with a precise period.
The supermassive black hole pictured resides at the center of a relatively nearby galaxy called Messier 87, or M87, about 54 million light-years from Earth.
Over 300 researchers working with data from 11 telescopes that make up the Event Horizon Telescope are piecing together how magnetic fields around a black hole function.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
