Scientists recreate the harsh conditions inside gigantic galaxy clusters
Galaxies rarely live alone.
Instead, dozens to thousands are drawn together by gravity, forming vast clusters that are the largest objects in the universe.
“Galaxy clusters...
The best way to leave the solar system might be to fly uncomfortably close...
We’ve reported before on the conceptual mission known as the Interstellar Probe.
This ambitious mission would visit the interstellar medium about 1,000 AU away from...
This neutron star blows out strong winds while eating companion star
Astronomers have found for the first time blasts of hot, warm, and cold winds from a neutron star whilst it consumes matter from a...
Rapid spin delays the collapse of merged neutron stars into black hole
When two neutron stars spiral into one another and merge to form a black hole — an event recorded in 2017 by gravitational wave...
Scientists find rare black hole in our neighboring galaxy
Astronomers discovered a black hole unlike any other.
At one hundred thousand solar masses, it is smaller than the black holes we have found at...
Scientists push to search for axion dark matter
Scientists from Durham University and Kings College London have presented a theoretical review in a new study strongly supporting the search for axion dark...
Astronomers find the tightest-knit supermassive black hole duo at heart of galaxy
Astronomers have discovered only the second known candidate for a pair of supermassive black holes caught in the act of merging.
And these behemoth...
Scientists find rare Tatooine-like exoplanet
A rare exoplanet that orbits around two stars at once has been detected using a ground-based telescope by a team led by the University...
NASA’s TESS finds almost 100 quadruple star systems
NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has found over 5000 candidate exoplanet candidates, and 197 confirmed exoplanets since its mission began in late 2018.

Scientists create the highest performance atomic clock ever
Physicists have made one of the highest performance atomic clocks ever.
The instrument, known as an optical lattice atomic clock, can measure differences in time...
