Gravitational Waves Confirm Einstein and Hawking's Predictions: In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have confirmed key predictions made by Einstein and Hawking regarding black holes through gravitational waves detected by LIGO. The collision of two black holes 1.3 billion light years away not only validated Hawking's area theorem but also demonstrated that the merged black hole aligns with Einstein's Kerr metric, showcasing the accuracy of general relativity in extreme cosmic events.SpaceX Launches Nusantara Lima Satellite: On September 11, 2025, SpaceX successfully launched the Nusantara Lima satellite for Indonesian telecom company PSN, marking the Falcon 9's 23rd successful landing. This mission enhances telecommunications for Indonesia's vast archipelago, providing over 160 gigabits per second of bandwidth to connect millions across its 17,000 islands.First Observations of a Baby Planet: Astronomers have made history by observing a baby planet, Wispit2b, in the act of forming around its star, Wispit 2 TYC 5709 354. This gas giant, five times the mass of Jupiter, is carving out gaps in its surrounding dusty disk, providing direct evidence of planetary formation and confirming decades of theoretical work.Perseverance Rover's Exciting Discoveries on Mars: NASA's Perseverance rover has found complex organic molecules in Jezero Crater's ancient river delta, hinting at potential biosignatures. Using advanced laser spectroscopy, Perseverance is preparing samples for future return missions, which could revolutionize our understanding of Mars and the potential for past life.Mind-Bending Predictions of Exploding Primordial Black Holes: Researchers at UMass Amherst have predicted a 90% chance of observing an exploding primordial black hole within the next decade. This new model suggests these black holes could explode much more frequently than previously thought, potentially leading to revolutionary discoveries in particle physics.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.
