Astronomers have found the first direct evidence of a black hole spinning, and it’s confirmed Einstein’s theory of relativity yet again….
The nearby radio galaxy M87, located 55 million light-years from the Earth and harboring a black hole 6.5 billion times more mᴀssive than the Sun, exhibits an…
Recently the New Horizons team tried to capture the fragile darkness of the Universe. They aimed New Horizons at a patch of sky far away from the Milky Way, away from the Sun,….
Just how dark is the night sky? If you step outside during a moonless night and look up, it probably doesn’t look that dark at all. Streetlights…
For those still holding out hope that antimatter levitates rather than falls in a gravitational field, like normal matter, the results of a new experiment are a dose of cold reality.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has racked up an impressive list of superlatives in its first five years of operations: It’s the closest spacecraft to the sun, the fastest human-made object and the first mission to ever “touch the sun.”

Astronomers obtained new data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) on TRAPPIST-1 b, the planet in the TRAPPIST-1 solar system closest to its star.
In a solar system called TRAPPIST-1, 40 light years from the sun, seven Earth-sized planets revolve around a cold star. Astronomers obtained new data from the James…
Astronomers have found a striking link between the amount of dust surrounding a supermᴀssive black hole and the strength of the radio emission produced in extremely bright galaxies.

A black hole is an area of spacetime with gravity so powerful that nothing—not even light or radio waves—can get out.
A black hole is an area of spacetime with gravity so powerful that nothing—not even light or radio waves—can get out. Numerous investigations have focused on these…
New research published today reveals that galaxies from the early universe are more similar in shape to the Milky Way than previously thought, challenging our current understanding of cosmic evolution.
Galaxies from the early universe are more like our own Milky Way than previously thought, flipping the entire narrative of how scientists think about structure formation in…
Researchers recently demonstrated a novel technique that allows the visualization of the wave function of two entangled pH๏τons, the elementary particles that consтιтute light, in real-time….
Researchers at the University of Ottawa, in collaboration with Danilo Zia and Fabio Sciarrino from the Sapienza University of Rome, recently demonstrated a novel technique that allows…
