June 12, 2023 —An international team of scientists recently discovered an exceptionally rare gravitationally lensed supernova, which the team named 'SN Zwicky.' Located more than 4 billion light years ...
June 9, 2023 —Researchers are working on sustainable technology to harvest solar power in space -- which could supplement life support systems on the Moon and ...
June 8, 2023 —Astronomers have clearly identified the existence of four new exoplanets. The four mini-Neptunes are smaller and cooler, and more difficult to find than the so-called Hot Jupiter exoplanets which ...
June 7, 2023 —Last year, telescopes around the world registered the brightest cosmic explosion of all time. Astrophysicists can now explain what made it so ...
June 7, 2023 —Researchers used data from NASA's Parker Solar Probe to explain how the solar wind is capable of surpassing speeds of 1 million miles per hour. They discovered that the energy released from the ...
June 6, 2023 —An international team of astronomers observed the second one of the two supermassive black holes circling each other in an active galaxy OJ ...
June 5, 2023 —Researchers have detected complex organic molecules in a galaxy more than 12 billion light-years away from Earth -- the most distant galaxy in which these molecules are now known to exist. Thanks to ...
June 5, 2023 —A delicate tracery of dust and bright star clusters threads across this image from the James Webb Space Telescope. The bright tendrils of gas and stars belong to the barred spiral galaxy NGC 5068, ...
June 5, 2023 —Although astrophysicists theoretically should be able to detect gravitational waves from a single, non-binary source, they have yet to uncover these elusive signals. Now researchers suggest looking ...
June 5, 2023 —Among the most fundamental questions in astronomy is: How did the first stars and galaxies form? NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is already providing new insights into this question. One of ...
June 2, 2023 —New theoretical research has shown that Stephen Hawking was likely right about black holes, although not completely. Due to Hawking radiation, black holes will eventually evaporate, but the event ...
June 2, 2023 —In the early 1980s, astronomers discovered gigantic, one-dimensional filaments dangling vertically near Sagittarius A*, our galaxy's central supermassive black hole. Now, astronomers have ...
June 1, 2023 —After the Big Bang, the universe expanded and cooled sufficiently for hydrogen atoms to form. In the absence of light from the first stars and galaxies, the universe entered a period known as the ...
