Hubble Spots Black Hole Beam Causing Stellar Eruptions - YouTube - NASA Goddard - astrophysics

In a surprise finding,the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has discovered that the jet from a supermassive black hole at the core of M 87,a huge spiral galaxy 54 million light years away,seems to cause stars to erupt along its trajectory.The stars,are called novae,are not caught inside the jet,but are in a dangerous spot near it.A nova explosion occurs when an aged,swollen normal star spills hydrogen onto a burned out white dwarf companion star.When the white dwarf has collected a big enough layer of hydrogen,it explodes into space.The white dwarf survives to resume the cycle.*Credit:NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt,Maryland*Text by NASA Goddard and edited by Andrew Taylor

As of 2024,only two interstellar objects have been discovered:Oumuamua in 2017 and Comet 21/Borisov in 2019.Some say Oumuamua is an asteroid,while others say it is a comet.Arizona State University School of Earth and Space Exploration suggests it is a chunk of a Pluto-like planet.Oumuamua is headed out of the Milky Way forever.In four years,it will pass Neptune's orbit on its way back to interstellar space.

New exoplanet discovered orbiting closest single star to our Sun -YouTube - ESO - planetary science

Using ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT),astronomers have discovered an exoplanet orbiting the closest single star to our Sun,Barnard's star,a red dwarf variable star,at about 6 light years from Earth.The exoplanet,which has a mass at least half that of Venus,has a surface temperature of 125 C/257 F,which is too hot to sustain liquid water.It was discovered by the gravitational pull it has on Barnard's star.*The VLT is part of the Paranal Observatory on Cerro Paranal,Mt.Paranal,with an altitude of 2635 m/8645 ft.It is in the Atatcama Desert of Northern Chile.The VLT is capable of both visible and infrared observation.The VLT consists of four individual telescopes,each with a primary mirror of 8.2 m/26.9 ft in diameter.They are generally operated separately,but can also be combined.*Barnard's star has the designation V2500 Ophiuchi.It is named for the American astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard,who measured its motion in 1916.Barnard's star is not visible to the naked eye.At 7-12 billion years of age,it may be one of the most ancient stars in the Milky Way.Note:Alpha Centauri is a star system,not an individual star.*Material by ESO and edited and augmented by Andrew Taylor
