Scientists used gravitational lensing to discover a rare supernova duplicated 4 times by the mass of an enormous galaxy.
Astronomers found the supernova so luminous that they piqued their interest, finding that it became even brighter through gravitational lensing. June 12th
The gravity of a galaxy two-and-a-half billion light-years away has acted like a cosmic magnifying glass to amplify the light of a distant supernova.
Astronomers have detected an act of extreme violence more than halfway across the known universe as a black hole shreds a star that wandered too close to this celestial savage. But this was no ordinary instance of a ravenous black hole.
A Himalayan telescope in Ladakh and a group of Indian astronomers have alerted the world about the death screams of a dying star, which was torn apart by a supermassive Black Hole at a distance of 8.5 billion light years away - more than halfway across the Universe.
