Found in a galaxy known as GHZ2, this black hole appears to have formed just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. 🌌 Why this is surprising According to current astrophysics models, supermassive black holes — millions to billions of...

Riya was an ordinary young woman with a very ordinary routine. Every Saturday morning, she jogged the same route in her neighbourhood — a 3 km stretch she knew by heart. She wasn’t fast, and she wasn’t training for anything special. She just liked starting her weekend with a run. One particular Saturday, she felt unusually tired.
