This scene of stellar creation, captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, sits near the outskirts of the famous Tarantula Nebula. This cloud of gas…
Current experiments’ detectors and data analysis efforts could be refocused to seek out newly suggested types of dark matter signals that may have been overlooked….
Galaxies such as our own Milky Way are more likely to harbor intelligent, technologically advanced civilizations. Giant elliptical galaxies are not as likely as previously…
Researchers using the Gemini North telescope on Hawai’i’s Maunakea have detected the most energetic wind from any quasar ever measured. This outflow, which is traveling…
For most of the 20th century, astronomers have scoured the skies for supernovae—the explosive deaths of massive stars—and their remnants in search of clues about…
Invisible object has two companion stars visible to the naked eye. A team of astronomers from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and other institutes has…
The next generation of powerful Earth- and space-based telescopes will be able to hunt distant solar systems for evidence of life on Earth-like exoplanets —…
Scientists have been able to observe the universe and determine that about 80% of its mass appears to be “dark matter,” which exerts a gravitational…
Gravitational-wave astronomy provides a unique new way to study the expansion history of the Universe. On August 17, 2017, the LIGO and Virgo collaborations first…
