In the recent past, space missions dedicated to the study of astrophysical signals in the high-energy spectrum revealed a series of enigmatic excesses not predicted…
Heart of darkness: A view of the accretion disc around the supermassive black hole, with jet-like structures flowing away from the disc. The extreme mass…
If you hold up five fingers in a mirror, and your reflection holds up four, that is a parity violation! Credit: Jennifer Lauren Lee/NIST In…
U Mon’s primary star, an elderly yellow supergiant, has around twice the Sun’s mass but has billowed to 100 times the Sun’s size. Scientists know…
Brown dwarfs are often called “failed stars.” They form like stars but are not massive enough to fuse hydrogen into helium as stars do. More…
The Crab Nebula, the six-light-year-wide expanding cloud of debris from a supernova explosion, hosts a neutron star spinning 30 times a second that is among…
Two groups of fibrils, marked L2 and L4, converge and reconnect with each other. Two sets of newly formed fibrils, marked L1 and L3, then…

Photons with an energy of 200 teraelectronvolts are most likely emitted by protons colliding with interstellar gas. The primary source of protons is pulsar HAWC…
The James Webb Space Telescope is a space observatory to see further into the Universe than ever before. It is designed to answer outstanding questions…
The physics of massive nuclei can be studied by measuring the ‘note’ at which tidal resonance between merging neutron stars causes the solid crust of…
