New research reveals that supermassive black holes consume surrounding material faster than previously believed. This insight, derived from high-resolution simulations, could explain why quasars flare…
A cosmic alignment and a little bit of spacecraft gymnastics have provided a ground-breaking measurement that is helping solve the 65-year-old cosmic mystery of why…
An international research team used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to observe the triple protostar system IRAS 04239+2436, to investigate the detailed structure of…
Approximately 80% of the universe’s matter is composed of a mysterious and unseen substance. This “dark matter” was first theorized nearly 90 years ago. “This…
A research team relies on measuring the number of galaxy members to determine the mass of galaxy clusters. One of the most pressing questions in…
Astronomers have, for the first time, detected radio waves from a Type Ia supernova, uncovering new clues about white dwarf explosions and their helium-rich environments….
New insights into dark matter emerge as researchers explore the ‘dark photon’ hypothesis, challenging the standard model hypothesis. Led by experts at the University of…
Lab-based studies reveal how carbon atoms diffuse on the surface of interstellar ice grains to form complex organic compounds, crucial to reveal the chemical complexity…
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe recently passed through a powerful CME, offering groundbreaking observations that support a two-decade-old theory about CME interactions with interplanetary dust, pivotal…
An international team of astronomers utilized the powerful supercomputers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the U.S.A. and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan….
Infrared Capabilities Map Out Molecular Structure of Outflow NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a high-resolution look at Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211), a bipolar…
Massive burst of X-rays detected by University of Leicester astronomers indicates material three times the mass of Earth burning up in a black hole. A…
The “Hubble Tension” denotes the difference between the observed and expected expansion rate of the universe. The James Webb Space Telescope refines measurements previously made…
