Citizen scientists have spotted the moment a binary star system exploded after playing “spot the difference” with images from ...

The Milky Way sits in a cosmic neighborhood called the Local Group that includes more than 50 other galaxies. Those galaxies can be as small as a dwarf galaxy with up to only a few billion stars ...

We obtain total galaxy X-ray luminosities, L-X, originating from individually detected point sources in a sample of 47 galaxies in 15 compact groups of galaxies (CGs). For the great majority of our ...

Apples-to-apples comparisons in the distant universe are hard to come by. Whether the subject is dwarf galaxies, supermassive black holes, or 'hot Jupiters,' astronomers can spend months or years ...

Black holes, when they're just lurking around in space, are very difficult to spot, especially in other galaxies. They don't emit any radiation we can currently detect, ... Or we could just have ...

In “More Everything Forever,” the science journalist Adam Becker subjects Silicon Valley’s “ideology of technological salvation” to critical scrutiny.

And most galaxies near to us (in time and space) are round too. This was not always the case, however, the Webb telescope has revealed in a study of galaxies that formed when the universe was just ...

The finding came courtesy of scientists who propose a novel way to map dark matter using the "wobble" of the Milky Way. That wobble is due to the influence of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies ...

Santoliquido, F., Mapelli, M., Artale, M.C. and Boco, L. (2022) Modelling the Host Galaxies of Binary Compact Object Mergers with Observational Scaling Relations ...

ABSTRACT: Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are violent stellar explosions that are traditionally divided into two groups: short bursts (SGRBs) with an observed duration T90 T90 > 2 s, where T90 refers to the ...

According to research, as reported by The Conversation, binary black holes can form when galaxies merge. During such collisions, the black holes from the merging galaxies are brought closer by ...

Binary star system found near the Milky Way's black hole: An 'amazing' discovery, astrophysicists say. The discovery could lead to the finding of more planets.
