Astronomers detect light from behind a black hole for the first time
Jul 28, 2021 (UPI)
But that's just what astronomers spotted while observing a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy 800 million light-years away. While studying a seri...
On the hunt for 'hierarchical' black holes
Jul 28, 2021 (SPX)
Such an event has only been hinted at so far, but scientists at the University of Birmingham in the UK, and Northwestern University in the US, believe we are ge...
Antimatter from laser pincers
Jul 24, 2021 (SPX)
In the discovered process, an antimatter jet is generated and accelerated very efficiently. The experts present their concept in the journal Communications Phys...
Supermassive black holes put a brake on stellar births
Jul 20, 2021 (SPX)
Star formation in galaxies has long been a focal point of astronomy research. Decades of successful observations and theoretical modelling resulted in our good ...
Danish student solves how the Universe is reflected near black holes
Jul 14, 2021 (SPX)
You have probably heard of black holes - the marvelous lumps of gravity from which not even light can escape. You may also have heard that space itself and even...
New clues to why there's so little antimatter in the universe
Jul 08, 2021 (SPX)
But just as a dust mote might affect a cloud's track, a neutron can influence the energy of its molecule despite being less than one-millionth its size. And now...
From atoms to planets, the longest-running Space Station experiment
Jul 05, 2021 (ESA)
Plasma Kristall takes a plasma and injects fine dust particles in weightlessness, turning the dust into highly charged particles that interact with each other, ...
Observation, simulation, and AI join forces to reveal a clear universe
Jul 05, 2021 (SPX)
Wide area survey data can be used to study the large-scale structure of the Universe through measurements of gravitational lensing patterns. In gravitational le...
Physicists observationally confirm Hawking's black hole theorem for the first time
Jul 02, 2021 (SPX)
Fifty years later, physicists at MIT and elsewhere have now confirmed Hawking's area theorem for the first time, using observations of gravitational waves. Thei...
There may not be a conflict after all in expanding universe debate
Jul 01, 2021 (SPX)
If it turns out that errors are causing the mismatch, that would confirm our basic model of how the universe works. The other possibility presents a thread that...
Deep Space Atomic Clock moves toward increased spacecraft autonomy
Jul 01, 2021 (SPX)
Spacecraft that venture beyond our Moon rely on communication with ground stations on Earth to figure out where they are and where they're going. NASA's Deep Sp...
Supermassive black holes may generate 'tsunamis' in escaping gas
Jun 30, 2021 (SPX)
In fact, the mysterious environment of supermassive black holes may host the largest tsunami-like structures in the universe, researchers say. The NASA-funded s...
Black holes swallow neutron stars like 'Pac Man'
Jun 30, 2021 (SPX)
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the US and the Virgo gravitational-wave observatory in Italy have captured the gravitational w...
Images emerge of galaxies headed for collision
Jun 30, 2021 (SPX)
The concept that roads of thin gas connect clusters of galaxies across the universe has been difficult to prove until recently, because the matter in these 'roa...
Throwing an 'axion bomb' into a black hole challenges fundamental law of physics
Jun 28, 2021 (SPX)
Now, a research team from Imperial College London and the Cockcroft Institute and Lancaster University have proposed a way that singularities could violate the ...
Theoretical proof that a strong force can create light-weight subatomic particles
Jun 25, 2021 (SPX)
The strong force is responsible for many things in our Universe, from making the Sun shine, to keeping quarks inside protons. This is important because it makes...
Cosmic dawn occurred 250 to 350 million years after Big Bang
Jun 25, 2021 (SPX)
The study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, suggests that the NASA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scheduled to launch in ...
Webb will use quasars to unlock the secrets of the early universe
Jun 24, 2021 (SPX)
Shortly after its launch later this year, a team of scientists will train NASA's James Webb Space Telescope on six of the most distant and luminous quasars. The...
CIBER-2 experiment successfully completes first flight
Jun 23, 2021 (SPX)
Led by principal investigator Michael Zemcov, an assistant professor in RIT's School of Physics and Astronomy and Center for Detectors, the experiment aims to b...
Does outer space end or go on forever
Jun 23, 2021 (SPX)
Above the atmosphere is space. It's called that because it has far fewer molecules, with lots of empty space between them. Have you ever wondered what it would ...
