NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected a supermassive black hole that is growing at an extraordinary rate.

This black hole, located in a distant galaxy cluster , in consuming surrounding gas and dust so rapidly that it's among the fastest - growing black holes ever observed.

Scientist believe it could help explain how early-universe black holes became so massive so quickly.

Blood Moon (Total Lunar Eclipse) – September 7, 2025

On September 7, 2025, total lunar eclipse occurred, visible from various parts of the world. During this event, the Moon completely passed through the Earth's shadow, taking on a reddish hue.

This phenomenon, known as a “Blood Moon”, happens because sunlight passing through Earth’s atmosphere is scattered and refracted, casting a red glow on the Moon.

The eclipse lasted for approximately 5 hours and 27 minutes and was observed by millions of people globally.
