Galaxies host supermassive black holes, which weigh millions to billions of times more than our Sun. When galaxies collide, pairs of supermassive black holes at…
Analysis of unique fingerprints in light emitted from material surrounding young stars has revealed “significant reservoirs” of large organic molecules necessary to form the basis…
By taking advantage of a natural lens in space, astronomers have captured an unprecedented look at X-rays from a black hole system in the early…
Like Hitting a Bullseye With Your Eyes Closed Two statisticians put into perspective the chances of asteroid Bennu striking Earth in the next 300 years….
The surface of the Moon is a harsh environment with no air, low gravity, dust, and micrometeorites—tiny rocks or metal particles—flying faster than 22,000 mph…
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous throughout our Milky Way Galaxy and play a crucial role in all dynamics of interstellar medium. However, questions like how Solar-type…
How rare is our Solar System? In the 30 years or so since planets were first discovered orbiting stars other than our Sun, we have…
Giant Galaxy Cluster Magnifies the Light from a Distant Supernova and Splits It into Multiple Images People over the centuries haven’t been shy about making…
Scientists using data from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe have assembled the most complete picture yet of the inner structure and behavior of the large cloud…
This comparison view shows puffing dust bubbles and an erupting gas shell — the final acts of a monster star. You can explore the detail…
Magnetic fields in space are sometimes called the last piece in the puzzle of star formation. They are much harder to measure than the masses…
New high-resolution observations clearly show a moon-forming region around exoplanet PDS 70c. The observations have allowed astronomers to determine the ring-shaped region’s size and mass…
Physicists at the University of Sussex have discovered that black holes exert a pressure on their environment, in a scientific first. In 1974 Stephen Hawking…
The attacks of September 11, 2001, were a national tragedy that resulted in a staggering loss of life and a significant change in American culture….
The results provide a blueprint for finding such systems in the universe’s quieter, emptier regions. By definition, dwarf galaxies are small and dim, with just…
University of Warwick convenes researchers to investigate challenges of monitoring objects in Earth orbit in new Center for Space Domain Awareness Research into the sustainable…
On September 15, 2021, the next batch of space tourists is set to lift off aboard a SpaceX rocket. Organized and funded by entrepreneur Jared…
