A Finnish research group has found strong evidence for the presence of exotic quark matter inside the cores of the largest neutron stars in existence….
An artificial intelligence (AI) system analyzing data from the Gaia space telescope has identified more than 2,000 large protostars, young stars that are still forming…
Using the Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper telescope, astronomers have for the first time measured the Fermi Bubbles in the visible light spectrum. The Fermi Bubbles are…
About 3.5 million years ago, the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy unleashed an enormous burst of energy. Our primitive…
A team of researchers, led by astrophysicist Sumner Starrfield of Arizona State University (ASU), has combined theory with both observations and laboratory studies and determined…
Research reveals asymmetry in spin directions of galaxies and suggests the early universe could have been spinning. An analysis of more than 200,000 spiral galaxies…
A new, Yale-led study shows that some supermassive black holes actually thrive under pressure. It has been known for some time that when distant galaxies…
Astronomers using European Southern Observatory (ESO) telescopes have discovered giant spots on the surface of extremely hot stars hidden in stellar clusters. Not only are…
Hubble Finds that “Distance” From the Brightest Stars is Key to Preserving Primordial Discs The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope was used to conduct a three-year…
New results from physicists in Bochum have challenged the Standard Model of Cosmology. “Since time immemorial people have been looking at the sky and trying…
The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters today announced the 2020 Kavli Prize Laureates in the fields of astrophysics, nanoscience, and neuroscience. This year’s Kavli…
Published recently in Nature, an international team of researchers has observed a massive, rotating disk galaxy just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang—1.5 billion…
The planetary system around star HR8799 is remarkably similar to our Solar System. A research team led by astronomers from the University of Groningen and…
‘Groupie’ galaxies orbiting Milky Way tell us about dark matter, how galaxy formed. We live in a big-city galaxy. The Milky Way is so big…
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) play a major role in galaxy evolution. Astronomers from the University of Groningen and Netherlands Institute for Space Research have now…
Four hundred years ago, the astronomer Galileo Galilei announced his discovery of four moons orbiting around the planet Jupiter, each seen as a distinct white…
A new study led by postdoctoral researcher Xingjiang Zhu from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav), at Monash University, developed a…
