$Astronomers capture a groundbreaking event as a black hole devours a white dwarf, reaching a peak luminosity of $3 \times 10^{49}$ erg/s. Detected by the Einstein Probe, this phenomenon provides key insights into intermediate-mass black holes, with a dramatic 20-day transition from high to low-energy states. Occurring on the galaxy's remote outskirts, this tidal disruption showcases unique cosmic interactions.$

Exploring the Cosmic Age Paradox: The infographic highlights the intriguing question of whether galaxies could be older than the universe itself. It features the case study of galaxy JADES-1050323, suggesting a statistical anomaly in age estimation that challenges the standard Lambda-CDM model. The findings, derived from observations at redshift 7.3, indicate galaxies may have formed too fast, potentially invalidating current cosmological models.

The James Webb Space Telescope has found galaxies that appear to be older than the universe itself.

A China-led space telescope has captured a rare cosmic meal: an intermediate-mass black hole tearing apart a white dwarf star.On July 2, 2025, the Einstein Probe (EP) detected a flash so bright it defied explanation. It wasn't a standard gamma-ray burst. The X-ray signal appeared before the explosion, flared to immense brightness, and then vanished in just 20 days.
