Oldest Confirmed Black Hole Discovered, Challenging Early Universe Theories
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers discovered a supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy CAPERS-LRD-z9, formed 13.3 billion years ago (500 million years post-Big Bang), estimated at up to 300 million solar masses, confirmed via spectroscopy.

New Model Predicts Universe's Collapse in 33 Billion Years
A new study suggests the universe will collapse in 33 billion years due to weakening dark energy, a finding supported by data from the Dark Energy Survey and Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument and contradicting previous theories of indefinite expansion.

Revised Galaxy Collision Probability: Milky Way-Andromeda Merger Less Likely
New research, using advanced supercomputing and data from the Hubble and Gaia telescopes, indicates only a 2% chance of a Milky Way-Andromeda collision within 5 billion years, primarily due to the gravitational influence of the Large Magellanic Cloud; a Milky Way-Large Magellanic Cloud merger is nea...
