By aiming intense X-ray beams at iron samples, scientists have studied the cores of “super-Earth” planets triple the size of Earth. The team, led by…
Signals suggest a black hole emits a jet of energy proportional to the stellar material it gobbles up. On November 11, 2014, a global network…
Pluto hogs the spotlight in the continuing scientific debate over what is and what is not a planet, but a less conspicuous argument rages on…
A newly published study from the Smithsonian Institution and the Johns Hopkins University reveals that heavy rain on Mars reshaped the planet’s impact craters and…
When it was announced that LIGO detected gravitational waves this past February, astrophysicists wondered about something else: Had the experiment found the “dark matter” that…
For the first time, a team of astrophysicists has witnessed a black hole swallowing a star and ejecting a flare of matter moving at nearly…
