There is only a 50 percent chance of this happening even in the next 10 billion years, according to study by UK and Finland-based researchers, published in Nature Astronomy.
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.
Kathryn’s Wheel was formed due to collision of 2 galaxies, but study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters notes that star formation alone doesn't explain gamma ray emission.
Using a NASA satellite for X-ray polarimetry, the scientists revealed that X-ray emissions from this black hole were polarised in nature, 'which means it changes the degree and angle'.
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.
IAF is firming up plans to revamp airlift capabilities with medium transport aircraft that will be assembled in India & serve as its main workhorse. Embraer is leading contender as of now.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
