Star Wars in real life? Astronomers detect a ‘cosmic joust’ in a galaxy far, far away and the scientific community is astonished
In a spectacle that could rival Star Wars, astronomers have uncovered a breathtaking cosmic event dubbed the "Cosmic Joust," where two galaxies are merging 3.6 billion light-years away. Reported by CNN on May 23, this discovery, detailed in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, showcases a rare clash featuring a powerful quasar powered by a supermassive black hole. Located in the constellation Virgo, this galactic dance is a stunning reminder of the universe's vast, dramatic scale, blending science fiction flair with real-world wonder.Stunning new images from Mars captured by Rover Curiosity leave scientists in aweThe merging galaxies, part of a system called SDSS J0849+1114, are locked in a gravitational embrace, with one galaxy's central black hole unleashing a quasar-a brilliant beacon of energy-outshining its surroundings. Observations from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory reveal gas and dust swirling chaotically, […]
