The extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) collaboration has released its latest scientific results. These results include two studies on dark energy led by Prof….
Scientists have spotted the largest flare ever recorded from the sun’s nearest neighbor, the star Proxima Centauri. The research, which was published recently in The…
Computer simulations show that the miniature solar flares nicknamed ‘campfires’, discovered last year by ESA’s Solar Orbiter, are likely driven by a process that may…
Exoplanet PDS 70b is gobbling up gas and dust as it continues to build mass. Ever made a complete mess in your kitchen while baking?…
General relativity, Einstein’s theory of gravity, is best tested at its most extreme — close to the event horizon of a black hole. This regime…
All supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies appear to have periods when they swallow matter from their close surroundings. But that is about…
An international collaboration of astronomers led by a researcher from the Astrobiology Center and Queen’s University Belfast, and including researchers from Trinity, has detected a…
Since astronomers captured the bright explosion of a star on February 24, 1987, researchers have been searching for the squashed stellar core that should have…
Astronomers used Chandra to detect an important type of titanium in the supernova remnant Cas A. This titanium is predicted to form in bubbles that…
Using exoplanets as dark matter detectors: Temperature of planets reveals new details, scientists say. In the continuing search for dark matter in our universe, scientists…
When the four-decades-old Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft entered interstellar space in 2012 and 2018, respectively, scientists celebrated. These plucky spacecraft had already traveled…
NASA’s STEREO-A and ESA/NASA’s SOHO spacecraft detected a coronal mass ejection, or CME, leaving the Sun on April 17 at 12:36 p.m. EDT. This CME…
Simulation led by University of Chicago geoscientist finds missing piece to Martian climate puzzle. One of the great mysteries of modern space science is neatly…
Rain is a common phenomenon on Earth. There is a similar phenomenon on the Sun, called coronal rain. It is related to the coronal heating…
