Physicists at Goethe University Frankfurt find new solution to Einstein’s general theory of relativity. If gravitational condensate stars (or gravastars) actually existed, they would look…
Ram pressure stripping in IC 3476 boosts star formation in specific areas by compressing gas, despite the galaxy’s tranquil appearance. This image features IC 3476,…
During the last solar maximum, the polar regions of the Sun were notably the most active in emitting high-energy radiation, a phenomenon that remains unexplained….
Observations reveal black holes can alter galaxies by ejecting gas, impeding star formation, with significant implications for understanding galactic evolution. Black holes are like temperamental…
Our understanding of how galaxies form and the nature of dark matter could be completely upended A paper published in Nature details findings using new…
For the first time, a tool designed to discover planets many light years distant has been employed on an object in the Solar System, in…
Using two of the agency’s X-ray telescopes, researchers were able to zoom in on a dead star’s erratic behavior as it released a bright, brief…
A study leveraging NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has revealed that galaxy collisions, contrary to destroying stars, actually create conditions conducive to the formation of millions…
The FORCAST instrument on SOFIA discovered water on asteroids that were previously considered dry. Scientists from the Southwest Research Institute have made the first discovery…
Astronomers using Georgia State’s CHARA Array have detected the faint light of stellar corpses beside predator stars. Scientists working with the powerful telescopes at Georgia…
Which came first: Black holes or galaxies? Findings ‘completely shake up’ what we know about galaxy formation. Black holes not only existed at the dawn…
Hubble’s latest image reveals the colorful and dynamic star-forming region IRAS 16562-3959, showcasing the combination of technology and artistry in astronomy. If the Hubble Picture…
LISA, a collaborative mission between ESA and NASA, aims to detect gravitational waves from space, offering new insights into the cosmos through advanced technology and…
On February 9, 2024, at precisely 8:14 a.m. EST, the Sun unleashed a significant solar flare, an event meticulously captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory…
Professor Gregory Rudnick’s team at the University of Kansas is researching the evolution of galaxies and their star-forming processes, funded by a significant NSF grant….
A new study may help settle the question of how rapidly the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole is spinning. The black hole, known as Sagittarius…
Astronomers identify Type Ia supernovae interacting with gas as a new source of cosmic dust, offering insights into the process of dust formation in elliptical…
