The claims speculates that these enigmatic black holes from the beginning of time formed before the first stars, and later helped create many of the heavier elements found in nature including gold, platinum, and uranium.\\xa0*Tabby\\u2019s star probably just dusty rather than an alien megastructure A new analysis of a strange looking star which experiences wild fluctuations in brightness indicates massive amounts of dust could be causing the phenomenon. The spectral type F main white sequence star KIC-8462852 first sprung to attention in 2015 when citizen scientists looking through data from NASA\\u2019s planet hunting Kepler Space Telescope noticed abnormal cycles of dimming and brightening coming from the star.\\xa0*And How the world\\u2019s biggest volcanoes formed Scientists have solved a 168 year old mystery on how the planet\\u2019s biggest and most active volcanoes were formed. The study found the Hawaii\\u2019s volcanoes formed along twin tracks due to a shift in the Pacific plates direction three million years ago.\\xa0*Indian rocket failure An Indian rocket has failed to place a new navigation satellite into orbit after the payload faring failed to separate during the launch.
