Distant Suns Wrapped in Black Patches may Shape the Search for Life
A new model called StarryStarryProcess lets scientists map star spots with precision, improving how exoplanets are studied. By factoring in both transits and stellar rotation,…
A Black Hole Eruption could alter all we know about the Universe
Physicists may soon witness a cosmic fireworks show: the explosive death of a primordial black hole. Once thought to be unimaginably rare, new research suggests…
Astronomers have discovered the Closest and Brightest Fast Radio Burst to Date
Astronomers have detected the closest and brightest fast radio burst ever recorded, a dazzling signal from a galaxy just 130 million light-years away. The extraordinary…
With the Strongest Evidence yet, Black Holes have confirmed Hawking was Correct
Gravitational-wave astronomy has exploded since 2015, capturing hundreds of black hole and neutron star collisions. With ever-clearer signals, researchers are testing Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s…
Astronomers Shocked by the Strangest Supernova ever Witnessed
Scientists have identified a never-before-seen supernova, SN2021yfj, which exploded after losing nearly all of its outer layers. Instead of light elements, it revealed silicon and…
An Astrophysicist uses a novel method to look for time and Space Ripples
Massive ripples in the very fabric of space and time wash over Earth constantly, although you’d never notice. An astrophysicist is trying a new search…
Universe Decays Faster than Imagined, although it takes a Long Time
The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of three scientists at Radboud University on the so-called Hawking radiation. They…
New Discoveries about Gravitational Waves and Black Hole Scattering
A new study achieves unprecedented accuracy in modelling extreme cosmic events like black hole and neutron star collisions by calculating the fifth post-Minkowskian (5PM) order,…
Black Hole in the Milky Way Spins Nearly at Top Speed, AI Shows
AI has helped astronomers crack open some of the universe s best-kept secrets by analyzing massive datasets about black holes. Using over 12 million simulations…
Finding of a Black Hole proves that Einstein and Hawking were Correct
Fresh black hole merger detection has offered the clearest evidence yet for Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions. Scientists tracked the complete cosmic collision, confirming that…
Dark Matter may eventually be revealed by the Moon
Faint hydrogen signals from the cosmic Dark Ages may soon help determine the mass of dark matter particles. Simulations suggest future Moon-based observatories could distinguish…
