Why Ancient Galaxies Are Glowing Too Much

In the beginning—really, the beginning—galaxies were supposed to be shy. Small. Dim. Kind of like toddlers at their first school dance. But then the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) crashed the party with a surprise: those early galaxies? They were not just glowing—they were blazing. Some were ten times brighter than our best predictions said […]

What Happens When Two Black Holes Nearly Collide?

Two black holes speed past each other in deep space—billions of times heavier than Earth, hurtling faster than bullets. They don’t crash. They don’t merge. They just…swerve. And in that dramatic cosmic near-miss, they send ripples through the very fabric of spacetime. We call them gravitational waves. And thanks to a surprising mashup of physics […]

What if Another “You” Exists Out There?

Is there another universe just like ours—same laws of physics, similar planets, and even a version of you? But in this alternate world, your life took a different turn. Perhaps you chose another career, or a seemingly trivial decision spiraled into major consequences. Is this pure science fiction, or could it be science fact? Surprisingly, […]

A Black Hole from the Edge of Time

Imagine peering back in time to when the universe was just a few hundred million years old, and finding a cosmic giant: a black hole so massive it defies our understanding of how such objects form and grow. This is precisely what astronomers achieved with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), discovering a black hole […]
