First Evidence for a Possible Planet Outside of the Milky Way Galaxy
Astronomers have announced evidence for a possible planet in another galaxy. This “exoplanet” would be much farther away than any of the thousands of others…

At ALMA, we are celebrating doubly: on the one hand, October is the month of Science in Chile, and, on the other, we commemorate in…
Mergers between two neutron stars have produced more heavy elements in the last 2.5 billion years than mergers between neutron stars and black holes. Most…
The confirmation of gravitational waves back in 2017 continues to unlock whole new worlds of physics but also continues to elicit further questions. The detection…
Estimate measures information encoded in particles, opens door to practical experiments. Researchers have long suspected a connection between information and the physical universe, with various…
A University of Toronto astronomer’s research suggests the solar system is surrounded by a magnetic tunnel that can be seen in radio waves. Jennifer West, a…
A compositional link between planets and their respective host star has long been assumed in astronomy. For the first time now, a team of scientists,…
Around a century ago, scientists began to realize that some of the radiation we detect in Earth’s atmosphere is not local in origin. This eventually…
Such planetary smashups are likely common in young solar systems, but they haven’t been directly observed. Young planetary systems generally experience extreme growing pains, as…
Proteins are polymers of amino acids joined together by the peptide bond -NHCO-. Peptide bonds are not only the ubiquity structures in proteins but also…
New methods of detecting ultra-low frequency gravitational waves can be combined with other, less sensitive measurements to deliver fresh insights into the early development of…
New images have revealed detailed clues about how the first stars and structures were formed in the Universe and suggest the formation of the galaxy…
In early 2020, we detected an unusual radio signal coming from somewhere near the center of our galaxy. The signal blinked on and off, growing…
On August 17th, 2017, LIGO detected gravitational waves from the merger of two neutron stars. This merger radiated energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, light that…
NASA has selected a new space telescope proposal that will study the recent history of star birth, star death, and the formation of chemical elements…
Astronomers have used a planet-hunting satellite to see a white dwarf abruptly switching on and off for the first time. The researchers led by Durham…
The universe was created about 13.8 billion years ago in a blaze of light: the Big Bang. Roughly 380,000 years later, after matter (mostly hydrogen)…
Scientists find evidence the early solar system harbored a gap between its inner and outer regions. The cosmic boundary, perhaps caused by a young Jupiter…
