Astronomers Reveal Secrets to Burping Black Hole with the Green Bank Telescope The National Science Foundation’s Green Bank Telescope (GBT) has revealed new information about…
New images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal for the first time galaxies with stellar bars — elongated features of stars stretching from…
According to recent research from the University of Bath in the UK, newborn supramassive stars, rather than black holes, may be the cause of gamma-ray…
New findings lay the foundation for the search for dark matter. How are galaxies born, and what holds them together? Astronomers assume that dark matter…
Researchers reconstructed the scene, finding up to three unseen stellar companions that may have shaped the planetary nebula’s layers of gas and dust. Wait, how…

OzGrav Makes Waves With $35M To Understand the Universe The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) at Swinburne has been…
According to a new study the X-ray light emitted by a certain magnetar – a highly magnetized dead star – appears to indicate that the…
For decades, the Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based telescopes have provided us with spectacular images of galaxies. This all changed when the James Webb Space…
A new model explains the rarity of planets with masses that fall between super-Earths and mini-Neptunes. A new model that takes into account the various…
Evidence shows strong outflowing winds responsible for the “Fermi bubbles.” A scientist from Tokyo Metropolitan University has shown that large gamma-ray emitting bubbles around the…
Researchers’ recent observations of a stellar-mass black hole called Cygnus X-1 reveal new details about the configuration of extremely hot matter in the region immediately…
Although dark matter is a central part of the standard cosmological model, it’s not without its issues. There continue to be nagging mysteries about the…
Looking Through a Giant Magnifying Glass When taken to the extreme, gravity can create some intriguing visual effects that the Hubble Space Telescope is well…
What Is Saturn? Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun. It is a gas giant, and the second largest and second most massive planet…
It is no exaggeration to say the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) represents a new era for modern astronomy. Launched on December 25 last year…
Studying an atomic clock on-board a spacecraft inside the orbit of Mercury and very near to the Sun might be the trick to uncovering the…
Long Gamma-Ray Bursts Can Be Generated by Neutron Star Mergers For nearly two decades, astrophysicists have believed that long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) resulted solely from…
