Astronomers working with the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected patterns showing ...

Some physicists think our reality is a kind of cosmic hologram, with space, time, and gravity as manifestations of a ...

Very massive stars are cosmic "rock stars" that live fast, die young and leave black holes in their place. During this ...

How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 billion times the mass of the sun.

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

A cataclysmic variable star was found as part of a project using two telescopes from opposite sides of the world.

These black holes are the most distant and stable objects we know. Using a technique called very long baseline interferometry ...

Astronomers in Australia picked up a strange radio signal in June 2024 — one near our planet and so powerful that, for a ...

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the ...

New observations support the idea that hot, diffuse threads of gas called cosmic filaments connect clusters of galaxies ...

Astronomers detect 10 billion-year-old radio waves from a distant galaxy cluster SpARCS1049, revealing a mini-halo that ...

A newly discovered radio halo, 10 billion light-years away, reveals that galaxy clusters in the early universe were already steeped in high-energy particles. The finding hints at ancient black hole ...
