This is a game-changer for deep space exploration, and a major step toward a permanent human presence on the Red Planet.\nThen we dive deep into black holes — and discover they may not be what scientists once thought. New research suggests black holes might be significantly less massive than previously calculated. Even more exciting: scientists may have detected the very first real evidence of dark matter, hiding in faint X-ray emissions from black holes. If confirmed, this would be one of the greatest discoveries in the history of physics.\nAlya also takes us on a tour of the James Webb Space Telescope's latest revelations about the early universe — peering back billions of years to study how the very first black holes formed and grew, revealing surprises that challenge our most fundamental theories.\nAnd for UAE stargazers, September is a spectacular month! Five planets are simultaneously lighting up the night sky — visible to the naked eye or with a small telescope. Alya shares the best spots to catch this rare alignment, including the Mleiha Archaeological Centre and Al Badayer Desert.\nTune in, look up, and keep exploring with Kalam Astro! 🌌\n==\nListen to #Pulse95Radio in the UAE by tuning in on your radio (95.00 FM) or online on our website: www.pulse95radio.com\n************************\nFollow us on Social.\nwww.facebook.com/pulse95radio\nwww.twitter.com/pulse95radio","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/m-nOVVI7bpo0QVZ9Q8OHfrGYXAymDg744gYuUsfaBfk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzUwMjUyLzE3MDky/MDE3OTgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
