Astronomers have, for the first time, measured the recoil speed and direction of a newborn black hole using gravitational waves. Data from the 2019 event GW190412 revealed the remnant shot away at 50 km/s. This breakthrough shows gravitational waves can reconstruct full 3D motion, offering new ways to connect black hole mergers with light signals.

A new study in Acta Astronautica warns that Low Earth Orbit is becoming dangerously congested. Since 2019, the number of satellites performing more than ten collision-avoidance maneuvers per month has risen sevenfold. With nearly 25,000 tracked objects and more launches planned, scientists fear a chain-reaction risk and call for stronger global coordination in orbital…

Astronomers have captured the first image of two supermassive black holes orbiting in quasar OJ 287. The smaller black hole’s jet spirals due to gravitational forces from the larger one. This discovery validates dual-core theories and opens doors for research on gravitational waves and galaxy evolution.
