I have a new paper on arXiv today! 🌠 As galaxies move through space, they can lose stars and gas to their environment, forming spectacular tails—but that’s not the whole story. Deep inside, supermassive black holes are at work too, shaping their evolution. 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2506.05474

Jellyfish galaxies are extreme examples of how galaxies can transform due to dense environmental effects. These satellite galaxies suffer from ram-pressure stripping, leading to the formation of their...

When stars become too heavy, they let go of eveything that became too much to carry. But messes can be beautiful too. Sometimes, stars need to explode as supernovae in order to be reborn as something more exquisite: www.instagram.com/nasa/p/DEF3I...
