Star visibility eroding rapidly as night sky gets brighter
Jan 19, 2023 (AFP)
The researchers, whose findings were published in the journal Science, said the increase in light pollution -- skyglow -- that they found was much larger than t...
Billions of celestial objects revealed in gargantuan survey of the Milky Way
Jan 19, 2023 (SPX)
The Milky Way Galaxy contains hundreds of billions of stars, glimmering star-forming regions, and towering dark clouds of dust and gas. Imaging and cataloging t...
China powers up satellite payloads for gamma-ray burst observation
Jan 18, 2023 (XNA)
The four payloads, GRID-05B, GRID-06B, GRID-07 and GRID-08B, will carry out networked joint observations with those satellites in orbit to analyze gamma-ray bur...
Study finds active galactic nuclei are even more powerful than thought
Jan 17, 2023 (SPX)
A new study indicates that scientists have substantially underestimated the energy output of these objects by not recognizing the extent to which their light is...
The world in grains of interstellar dust
Jan 15, 2023 (SPX)
