The black holes of Einstein’s theory of relativity can be completely described by just three parameters: their mass, spin angular momentum, and electric charge. Since…
Sky survey provides clues to how galaxies change over time. The direction in which a galaxy spins depends on its mass, researchers have found. A…
Squeeze leads to stellar-mass black hole collision precision. Scientists at The Australian National University (ANU) have found a way to better detect all collisions of…
An international team of scientists, including three researchers from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), has shed new light on one of the central mysteries…
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument begins final testing, setting the stage for a 5-year survey that will analyze the light of 35 million galaxies. A…
New observations of solar spicules, ubiquitous jet-like plasma features that punctuate the Sun’s atmosphere, suggest they are generated by the energy released as the two…
New study proposes light signature for detecting black hole mergers. Gravitational wave detectors are finding black hole mergers in the universe at the rate of…
First study to combine 3D climate modeling with chemistry explores M dwarf planets. Study is the first to include 3D chemistry to understand how a…
Researchers discovered a mechanism creating complex carbon molecules in a simulated planetary nebula environment. Scientists have long been puzzled by the existence of so-called “buckyballs”…
Runaway Star Ejected From the Galactic Heart of Darkness Astronomers have spotted an ultrafast star, traveling at a blistering 6 million km/h (~3.7 million m/h),…
International team detected radio bubbles with South Africa’s MeerKAT telescope. A gigantic, balloon-like structure has been hiding in plain sight, right in the center of…
Three billion years ago, Earth was a very different place. The sun that shone on its oceans and continents was not as bright as it…
The discovery of a 13 billion-year-old cosmic cloud of gas enabled a team of Carnegie astronomers to perform the earliest-ever measurement of how the universe…
Clemson team collaborates to quantify one of the most fundamental laws of the cosmos. Wielding state-of-the-art technologies and techniques, a team of Clemson University astrophysicists…
Scientists have reported detecting gravitational waves from 10 black hole mergers to date, but they are still trying to explain the origins of those mergers….
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have observed a galaxy in the distant regions of the Universe which appears duplicated at least 12 times…
NASA’s Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) telescope on the International Space Station detected a sudden spike of X-rays at about 10:04 p.m. EDT on…
Scientists from Germany and the United States have unveiled the results of a newly-completed, state of the art simulation of the evolution of galaxies. TNG50…
