A mosaic taken by the European Space Telescope over a period of about 26 hours is the largest and most detailed visible-light image of the center of the galaxy. The image is not intended to immediately discover new planets, but to provide a reference point
Simulation of an expanding mini-universe inside a gravity star forming a Gravastar

Theoretical model: A tiny universe may form inside a collapsing star

  • One response
Physicists have developed a dynamical solution to Einstein's equations in which an expanding region forms inside a collapsing star and stops the collapse. The result is a gravistar - a theoretical alternative to a black hole that has no singularity or event horizon
