Scientists from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have succeeded in determining ancient solar nebula magnetic field strength by measuring the field recorded in chondrules from…
New observations from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory reveal details of supernova remnant MSH 11-62 and G327.1-1.1. A supernova that signals the death of a massive…
Using data from NASA’s Swift satellite and observations from many other facilities, an international team of astronomers has discovered an unusual source of light in…
A newly published study details how the spacetime curvature provided the stability needed for the universe to survive after the Big Bang. Studies of the…
Using data from ESO’s Very Large Telescope, astronomers have discovered alignments between supermassive black hole axes separated by billions of light-years. New observations with ESO’s…
A newly published study provides the first direct evidence that an intergalactic “wind” is stripping galaxies of star-forming gas as they fall into clusters of…
An international team of scientists has published an extensive report on the future of astrophysical neutrino measurements, discussing how facilities that measure the microwave background…
New research reveals the first experimental evidence that our solar system’s protoplanetary disk was shaped by an intense magnetic field that drove a massive amount…
Astronomers investigate the process of rapid star formation in 12 massive galaxies that host high-velocity ionized gas outflows, finding that these fast outflows are most…
Using three NASA satellites, astronomers have revealed the first evidence that the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole (Sagittarius A*) may be producing neutrinos. The giant…
This new five minute video from the European Southern Observatory reveals the fine detail that has never been seen before in a planet-forming disc. ESOcast…
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, astronomers show a clear picture of hierarchical merging and the all-important first steps along this process when the Universe…
Astronomers from the University of Arizona have discovered two dust belts surrounded by a large dust halo around young star HD 95086, providing researchers with…
Using radio telescopes in Australia and Chile, astronomers were able to see inside the remains of a supernova 1987A and distinguish radiation being emitted by…
Using the Submillimeter Array to study the magnetic field in a massive star cluster, astronomers were able to determine the properties of the magnetic field…
Using the MAGIC telescopes at La Palma, astronomers have recorded an extreme event coming from the regions immediately surrounding a supermassive black hole located in…
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have uncovered a similar diversity in the debris systems that coincide with the formation of exoplanets, suggesting that there…
Observations from the Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment (CIBER) have revealed a surprising surplus of infrared light in the dark space between galaxies, redefining what astronomers…
