June 2, 2020 — The prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is part of an international effort, known as the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), which aims to construct the world's largest and most powerful ...
June 2, 2020 — Computer simulations conducted by astrophysicists have revealed a new theory for the origin of supermassive black holes. In this theory, the precursors of supermassive black holes grow by swallowing ...
May 28, 2020 — Astronomers are finding that planets have a tough time forming in the rough-and-tumble central region of the massive, crowded star cluster Westerlund 2. Located 20,000 light-years away, Westerlund 2 ...
May 21, 2020 — Gravitational-wave researchers have developed a new model that promises to yield fresh insights into the structure and composition of neutron ...
Apr. 30, 2020 — According to modern particle physics, matter produced when neutron stars merge is so dense that it could exist in a state of dissolved elementary particles. This state of matter, called quark-gluon ...
Apr. 24, 2020 — Hubble Space Telescope's iconic images and scientific breakthroughs have redefined our view of the universe. To commemorate three decades of scientific discoveries, this image is one of the most ...
Apr. 20, 2020 — A galactic visitor entered our solar system last year -- interstellar comet 2I/Borisov. When astronomers pointed the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) toward the comet on Dec. ...
Mar. 23, 2020 — Astronomers have captured new, detailed maps of three nearby interstellar gas clouds containing regions of ongoing high-mass star formation. The results of this survey, called the Star Formation ...
Mar. 18, 2020 — A scene of stellar creation, captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, sits near the outskirts of the famous Tarantula Nebula. This cloud of gas and dust, as well as the many young and massive ...
Mar. 5, 2020 — An international team of astronomers has captured the very moment when an old star first starts to alter its environment. The star has ejected high-speed bipolar gas jets which are now colliding with ...
Feb. 13, 2020 — Data from NASA's New Horizons mission are providing new insights into how planets and planetesimals -- the building blocks of the planets -- were ...
Feb. 5, 2020 — Astronomers have spotted a peculiar gas cloud that resulted from a confrontation between two stars. One star grew so large it engulfed the other which, in turn, spiraled towards its partner provoking ...
Jan. 29, 2020 — An unusual chunk in a meteorite may contain a surprising bit of space history. Presolar grains -- tiny bits of solid interstellar material formed before the sun was born -- are sometimes found in ...
Dec. 10, 2019 — Some of the Earth's building material was stardust from red giants. Astronomers can also explain why the Earth contains more of this stardust than the asteroids or the planet Mars, which are ...
Nov. 27, 2019 — Astrophysicists employed massive super-computer simulations to calculate the mechanisms that accelerate charged particles in extreme environments. They concluded their energization is powered by the ...
Nov. 20, 2019 — A radio telescope in the Western Australian outback has captured a spectacular new view of the center of the galaxy in which we live, the Milky Way. The image from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) ...
Nov. 19, 2019 — The leftovers from a spectacular supernova that revolutionized our understanding of how stars end their lives have finally been spotted by ...
