A team of German astronomers, led by Professor Klaus Werner of the University of Tübingen, has discovered a strange new type of star covered in…
Scientists have produced the largest and most accurate virtual representation of the Universe to date. An international team of researchers, led by the University of…
Astronomers famously snapped the first-ever direct image of a black hole in 2019, thanks to material glowing in its presence. But many black holes are…
In simulations, collisions cause smaller star groupings to lose material. An international team of astrophysicists report how, when tiny galaxies collide with bigger ones, the…
Dude, what if everything around us was just … a hologram? The thing is, it could be—and a University of Michigan physicist is using quantum…
An international group of astrophysicists has discovered a new method to estimate the cosmic microwave background temperature of the young Universe only 880 million years…
Why cluster’s galaxies are unlike those in all the other known protoclusters is a mystery, says UC Riverside-led team. An international team of astronomers led…
A study by the University of Bonn: Observations fit poorly with the Standard Model of Cosmology. The Standard Model of Cosmology describes how the universe…
Research team from Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy finds clue to possible extraterrestrial origin of peptides. Researchers from the…
Published in Nature Astronomy the work which shows the unprecedented accuracy with which gravitational wave observations by the space interferometer LISA will be able to…
Scientists including MIT’s Jacqueline Hewitt and Nicholas Kern share long-awaited results, getting closer to the universe’s first stars. All through history, humans have created and…
Right above you is the sky – or as scientists would call it, the atmosphere. It extends about 20 miles (32 kilometers) above the Earth….
Most galaxies, including our own, grow by accumulating new material and turning them into stars — that much is known. What has been unknown is…
Final Moments of Planetary Remnants Seen for First Time New study confirms decades of indirect evidence for debris from disintegrating planets hurtling into white dwarfs…
A new study from the University of Warwick demonstrates the impact of passing stars, misaligned binary stars, and passing gas clouds on the formation of…
In the search for “potentially-habitable” extrasolar planets, one of the main things scientists look at is stellar activity. Whereas stars like our own, a G-type…
New FQXi report re-assesses claims that the cosmos is precisely tuned to foster life, challenging popular arguments for a multiverse. For decades physicists have been…
