India's high-growth economy gets a Middle East oil shock

It wasn't too long ago that India's central bank, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), described the country's high growth-low inflation environment as a "Goldilocks" moment.
But that optimism has proved ephemeral as the ongoing war in the Middle East and the accompanying disruption to oil markets gives its world-beating growth story an unexpected jolt.
The impact is most starkly visible on the Indian currency, which has hit record lows and is down nearly 10% against the US dollar in the last year.

Back from the dead, a black hole is erupting after a 100-million-year hiatus

Inside an incredibly bright cluster of galaxies, a long-dormant supermassive black hole has come back to life. Radio images captured a one-million-light-year-long stream of star-forming particles and gas emanating from the black hole at the center of the galaxy J1007+3540—which apparently is erupting for the first time in about 100 million years.
“Although some ‘restarted’ radio galaxies are known in the literature, J1007+3540 stands out,” says lead study author Shobha ***** ari of Midnapore City College in India.
