UC Riverside-led team’s technique relied on determining the mass of galaxy clusters. A top goal in cosmology is to precisely measure the total amount of…
Scientists utilized citizen science network to observe the object. A new study authored by Southwest Research Institute scientists Rodrigo Leiva and Marc Buie reveals the…
The universe’s funhouse mirrors are revealing a difference between how dark matter behaves in theory and how it appears to act in reality. Dark matter…
It was found using observations made with the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, (Garafía, La Palma, Canary Islands), and…
Eight months after the space telescope CHEOPS started its journey into space, the first scientific publication using data from CHEOPS has been issued. CHEOPS is…
By quieting the quantum whisper, we can now listen to the more subtle notes of the cosmic symphony. Gravitational wave detectors have opened a new…
Astrophysicists at the University of Jena (Germany) prove that dust particles in space are mixed with ice. The matter between the stars in a galaxy…
Federal funding of new technology is crucial for astronomy, according to results of a study released on September 21, 2020, in the Journal of Astronomical…
Insight-HXMT, China’s first space X-ray astronomical satellite, has discovered a low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) above 200 kiloelectron volts (keV) in a black hole binary, making…
Using a limited set of mathematical equations, Worcester Polytechnic Institute mathematical sciences professor Mayer Humi said he has confirmed a 224-year-old math conjecture about the…
The temporal evolution of the universe, from the Big Bang to the present, is described by Einstein’s field equations of general relativity. However, there are…
Analysis of the event horizon telescope observations from 2009-2017 reveals turbulent evolution of the M87 black hole image. In 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)…
