Latest Space Breaking News: Bringing the digital revolution to direct exoplanet imaging with LCD technology Link: https://phys.org/news/2025-10-digital-revolution-exoplanet-imaging-lcd.html Summary: An instrument is set to improve the detection and direct imaging of planets outside our solar system by harnessing the power of liquid crystals. The Programmable Liquid-crystal Active Coronagraphic Imager for the DAG telescope (PLACID) was installed earlier this year at the 4m-diameter telescope of the newly built Eastern Anatolian Observatory (DAG) observatory in Eastern Turkey. Now in the integration and validation phase, the first on-sky observations of PLACID are expected in the first quarter of 2026.

Latest Space Breaking News: How black holes produce powerful relativistic jets Link: https://phys.org/news/2025-10-black-holes-powerful-relativistic-jets.html Summary: A hundred years before the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration released the first image of a black hole in 2019β€”located at the heart of the galaxy M87β€”astronomer Heber Curtis had already discovered a strange jet protruding from the galaxy's center. Today, we know this to be the jet of the black hole M87*. Such jets are also emitted by other black holes. Theoretical astrophysicists at Goethe University have now developed a numerical code to describe with high mathematical precision how black holes transform their rotational energy into such ultra-fast jets.
