Do supermassive black holes play with their food

When a star gets too close to a supermassive black hole (SMBH), the star's fate is sealed. The SMBH's gravity is overwhelming, and as the...

Is it worth going back to the Moon?

It is true that crewed missions to the Moon are expensive, difficult, and dangerous. And we now have a long history going back decades of...

Astronomers link mysterious X-ray flashes to exploding stars

Astronomers have made a major discovery about strange bursts of X-rays in space, known as fast X-ray transients (FXTs). These mysterious flashes, which only last...

Scientists detect unthinkably huge black holes merging in deep space

In an incredible leap forward for astronomy, scientists have detected the most massive black hole merger ever observed through gravitational waves. The event, named GW231123,...

Astronomers reconstruct wild star ejection from distant cluster

Astronomers have managed to recreate a dramatic cosmic event that happened 60,000 years ago in a giant star cluster called R136, located in the...

Scientists spot “ice” inside the Milky Way’s superheated space bubbles

Astronomers have made a surprising discovery at the heart of our galaxy—the Milky Way. They’ve found cold clouds of gas floating inside the blazing-hot Fermi...

Scientists uncover hidden life of neutrinos during star collapse

Neutrinos are among the most mysterious particles in the universe. They are extremely light, travel close to the speed of light, and rarely interact with...

New nuclear clock method may help detect mysterious dark matter

For nearly a century, scientists have been trying to find dark matter—the invisible substance that seems to make up about 80% of all matter...

Astronomers witness the birth of a new solar system for the first time

For the first time in history, scientists have caught a glimpse of a brand-new solar system just as it begins to form around a...

Astronomers spot unusual magnetic field around a massive young protostar

Stars of all ages and masses emit electromagnetic energy in different ways, and these emissions attract the attention of astronomers. Each of these emissions is...
