Black Hole sound: In a 34-second audio clip, one can relate it to be a mixture of spooky sounds of cars racing in slow-mode, car taking a pickup, or wind-flow. The sound was produced through Data Sonification of a black hole at the Center of the Perseus Galaxy Cluster.
Moon Exploration: The discovery, published in the journal Science Advances, adds to the already strong constraints on the currently favoured "Giant Impact" theory that hypothesises the Moon was formed by a massive collision between Earth and another celestial body.
Antarctica winter over: The image of the rising sun after 4 months was shared by European Space Agency (ESA) on Twitter.
Sun mid-life crisis: Sun has entered its middle age, estimated to be around 4.57 billion years. The study was conducted with the help of data collected by the Gaia spacecraft.
James Webb telescope's actual aim is to solve mysteries in our solar system, look beyond distant worlds around other stars, and probe the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it.
