Researchers have discovered a new superhighway network to travel through the Solar System much faster than was previously possible. Such routes can drive comets and…
Michigan State University researchers have discovered that one of the most important reactions in the universe can get a huge and unexpected boost inside exploding…
Identifying primordial ripples would be key to understanding the conditions of the early universe. In the moments immediately following the Big Bang, the very first…
Stellar Flares With a Chance of Radio Bursts: The Weather From Proxima Centauri A discovery that links stellar flares with radio-burst signatures will make it…
Scientists use an extended, 22-year solar cycle to make the forecast Uses timings based on work on a ‘solar clock’ led by University of Warwick…
PRISMA+ scientists propose exotic low-mass fields as new messengers of astrophysical events. Cataclysmic astrophysical events such as black hole mergers could release energy in unexpected…
In 2015, the first direct observation of gravitational waves was made by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (aLIGO) (Abbott et al. 2016). The detected…
New clues lead to a better understanding of the evolution of the solar system and the origin of Earth as a habitable planet. In a…
Researchers created a new astronomical instrument that has successfully aided in estimating the abundance of metals in the early universe. The WINERED instrument allows for…
Researchers from the University of Kansas have described a galaxy more than 5.25 billion light-years away undergoing a rarely seen stage in its galactic life…
A unique stage of planetary system evolution has been imaged by astronomers, showing fast-moving carbon monoxide gas flowing away from a star system over 400…
MIT grad student Chiara Salemi and Professor Lindley Winslow use the ABRACADABRA instrument to reveal insights into dark matter. On the first floor of MIT’s…
A team of researchers led by members of the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) has analyzed previously collected…
A hyper-sensitive instrument, deep underground in Italy, has finally succeeded at the nearly impossible task of detecting CNO neutrinos (tiny particles pointing to the presence…
Images Spanning 20 Years Reveal Disappearing Nebula Great things take time. This is true when it comes to many processes in the universe. For example,…
The motion of stars in the outskirts of our galaxy hints at significant changes in the history of the Milky Way. This and other equally…
Simulations by University of Warwick astrophysicists show that interactions with giant planets could result in protoplanetary discs that look older than they should Massive young…
