Cosmological Gravity Research based on Einstein’s General Relativity Theory
Gravity has shaped our cosmos. Its attractive influence turned tiny differences in the amount of matter present in the early universe into the sprawling strands…
A Nearby Supernova may Terminate the Search for Dark Matter
Axions are the most likely candidate for enigmatic dark matter that dominates the universe. Astrophysicists are searching for evidence of high-mass axions produced during supernovae.…
At Jupiter’s Poles, a Magnetic Tornado is Agitating the Haze
Dark ovals in Jupiter’s polar haze, visible only at UV wavelengths, were first noticed 25 years ago, then ignored. A new study shows that these…
A Study on Universe Expansion validates the Cosmic Theory’s Challenge
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest that a new feature in the universe — not a flaw in telescope measurements — may…
26,000 Dead Star Surveys validate important aspects of extreme Stellar Activity
A study of more than 26,000 white dwarf stars has confirmed a long-predicted but elusive effect in these ultra-dense, dying stars: Hotter white dwarfs are…
Electron Dance Calculated from the Brightness of Erupting Neutron Stars
The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of two neutron stars and the birth of a black…
Light Echoes are used by Astrophysicists to Illuminate Black Holes
A team of astrophysicists, led by scholars from the Institute for Advanced Study, has developed an innovative technique to search for black hole light echoes.…
Monster Black Holes that Churn Gases
Scientists using observations from NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory have discovered, for the first time, the signal from a pair of monster black holes disrupting…
Early Universe’s Fastest-feeding Black Hole is found by Astronomers
Using data from NASA’s JWST and Chandra X-ray Observatory, a team of U.S. National Science Foundation NOIRLab astronomers have discovered a supermassive black hole at…
The Supermassive Black Hole in Our Galaxy is close to a Binary Star
An international team of researchers has detected a binary star orbiting close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy.…
Evidence for Black Hole-generated Dark Energy Grows
Almost 14 billion years ago, at the very beginning of the Big Bang, a mysterious energy drove an exponential expansion of the infant universe and…
