The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when ...

The James Webb and Very Large telescopes spotted a free-floating planet accreting material at a record rate, displaying ...

Pairs of black holes have been detected in the past through their gravitational effects, but until now, scientists have never ...

Recent scientific discoveries have challenged our understanding of the geology beneath the Himalayas, suggesting that a ...

Simulations of magnetic turbulence in the Milky Way enhance understanding of galactic magnetic fields and their influence on ...

Neutron stars pack extreme mass into tiny volumes. Scientists explore how compact they can become before collapsing into ...

Speculative new research outlines a method for detecting extraterrestrial civilizations: by catching the gravitational waves produced by the collapse, or failure, of their warp drives. Sounds wild, ...

Stephen Hawking’s 50-year-old theorem on how black holes merge together has been successfully tested thanks to huge advances in gravitational wave astronomy, which helped astronomers catch the waves ...

"If this is a massive star, it is a collapse unlike anything we have ever witnessed before." Astronomers have spotted a cosmic explosion of high-energy gamma-rays unlike any ever seen before. The ...

An international team of researchers led by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) has shed light on a ...
