Scientific Discoveries
Rare X‑ray flare may be a star torn apart by a pair of black holes
Astronomers have identified the faintest known variable X‑ray flare, dubbed XID 925, as possibly originating from a star shredded sequentially by two massive black holes nearly 3 billion years ago. Live Science reports that the signal, first spotted in 1999 and tracked across decades, could represent the most distant observation of a double‑black‑hole tidal disruption event, offering a new window into extreme gravitational dynamics.

Amazon rainforest races toward a “hypertropical” future
New research published in Nature warns that the Amazon is shifting toward a hypertropical climate regime, with projected hot‑drought days rising from a few weeks annually to 150 days by 2100. Live Science highlights that such a regime, unseen for at least ten million years, threatens massive tree die‑offs and could fundamentally alter the continent’s carbon‑sequestration capacity.
