A group of astronomers based at the University of Arizona, Tucson have used NASA’s Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes for a detailed look at the debris disk that surrounds Vega, spanning nearly 100 billion miles in di
A study by researchers at DTU space have discovered one of the fastest rotating neutron stars ever observed, with a rapid rotation rate of 716 times per second.
Once a star has exhausted the nuclear fuel available in its core, it can no longer exert the necessary outward pressure to counteract the gravitational pressure from its own mass.
Following the formation of baryonic matter just after the Big Bang, the universe entered a period known as the dark ages, where this matter drifted aimlessly through an otherwise empty cosmos.
On the 27th of August, the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS), observing from Sutherland, South Africa, captured data on asteroid 2024-PT5.
In 2013, NASA's Curiosity rover detected organic compounds in Martian rock samples, prompting further investigation into their implications for the planet's history.
It has been proposed by MIT physicists that if most of the dark matter in the universe is incorporated into microscopic primordial black holes, these should race through our solar system at least once per decade at veloci
Foundational cosmological models of structure formation, based on the growth of density perturbations in the early universe, do not account for the formation of objects as dense as black holes.
