Twis Week in Astronomy - Rare Black Hole, Moon-Bound Telescope And An Interstellar Object

In this week:

Rare Black Hole Feeding on a Star – Scientists observed a rare intermediate-mass black hole (HLX-1) tearing apart a star in a star cluster far from its galaxy’s center. This event, called a tidal disruption, allowed researchers to study how such black holes grow and possibly evolve into supermassive ones. It also supports theories about black hole formation and galaxy growth.
Moon-Bound Telescope LuSEE-Night – A special radio telescope is being sent to the far side of the Moon to detect faint signals from the universe’s “Dark Ages,” a period before stars existed. Its unique design will help it survive extreme lunar conditions and could open the door to future radio astronomy missions from the Moon.
Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS – A fast-moving object from outside the solar system was detected heading toward the Sun. Its speed, size, and path are unusual, prompting some scientists to speculate about alien technology. While likely natural, the object helps refine how we detect and study interstellar visitors.
