Maximilian Häberle, a Phd student at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA), is the lead author of a recently published study on the discovery of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) at the centre of the Omega Ce
The final parsec problem is an astronomical puzzle involving the dynamical evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centres of most galaxies.
Astronomers around the globe are preparing to catch a once-in-a-lifetime event, where a nova explosion located 3000 light years from us will illuminate the night sky.
I have been fascinated by the night sky since I ‘discovered’ Saturn with my 60mm refractor at the age of 10. An APOD-winning astrophotographer, I have been published in Sky & Telescope, Astronomy Magazine, and Space.com. As a NASA Solar System Ambassador, I have conducted thousands of public outreach programs and am a registered cruise ship speaker on astronomy and space science, as well as a Director of the Phoenix Astronomical Society. I frequently post astrophotography images, news, and tutorials on social media. My solar imaging and videos are particularly popular, and I have conducted extensive research on solar cameras and solar image processing techniques.
