was accreting 40 times as much as the Eddington limit on an enclosed haze of matter.
It is the rate at which a black hole consumes matter that is regulated by what astronomers refer to as the Eddington limit.
Deep Seek AI - China
In the recent past, Deep Seek has introduced its AI models - DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1 which is a reasoning model.
These models are rapidly overtaking ChatGPT to become the most downloaded app on the App Store.
Deep Seek models are open-source as opposed to the closed models of OpenAI and Google.
Gaia BH3 black hole
Astronomers have found a super giant black hole called Gaia BH3 lurking near earth, the third one.
The 33 solar masses of BH3 would comfortably beat the existing heavyweight, Cygnus X-1 in the galaxy, by 12 solar masses.
Gaia BH3 is 2,000 light years distant in the constellation Aquila.
The European Space Agency Gaia telescope found all three.
In confirmation of the formation of black holes as one of the main predictions of the theory of general relativity, the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded.
FEAST software by ISRO
The most recent release of Finite Element Analysis of Structures (FEAST) software was released by ISRO.
FEAST software is a structural analysis software that employs finite element method to analyse the behaviour of structures under different loads in aerospace, automobile, civil, mechanical and marine engineering.
It enables engineers to take designs through testing in a virtual form before they build.
1st Kangaroo embryos
This is because scientists have managed to generate the first kangaroo embryos using in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
The world is exploring IVF in order to preserve endangered species.
In January 2024, researchers in Germany implanted into a surrogate the embryo of the first rhino in the world to be created using IVF.
Pyricularia Spp Infection
A new fungal disease named Pyricularia Spp that affected ginger crops severely was identified by the ICAR-Indian Institute of Spices Research (IISR).
Pyricularia Spp is a fungi pathogen and a causative agent of a blast disease that is a novel threat to ginger cultivation.
