NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will analyze over a billion galaxies, supported by a simulation containing 33 million galaxies created by scientists, including those…
This composite image of the Manatee Nebula captures the jet emanating from SS 433, a black hole devouring material embedded in the supernova remnant that…
Galaxies falling into a massive galaxy group. Upon entering the group, these galaxies exhibit a blueshift in comparison to the central galaxy. Credit: Dr. Shihong…
Astrophysicists studying the exoplanet WASP-69b have discovered it possesses a comet-like tail, seven times longer than the planet itself. This phenomenon occurs as the planet’s…
Euclid’s strength lies in its diversity: this small section of Euclid’s large image plane shows a detail of the Perseus galaxy cluster. Clearly recognizable are…
Researchers have identified HD 63433d, an Earth-sized planet that is both closer and younger than previously discovered planets of similar size. Its proximity to a…
Research on supermassive black holes (SMBHs) has advanced with the observation of tidal disruption events (TDEs), where stars are destroyed by SMBHs. The CN22 model…
The image, taken with ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, shows a high-resolution view of the innermost parts of the Milky Way. In the new…
The graphic shows the diamond rain inside the planet, which consists of diamonds sinking through the surrounding ice. Pressure and temperature continuously increase on the…
By using groundbreaking simulations, the study explores Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs), where stars are torn apart by black holes. This research has revealed a new…
XRISM’s Resolve instrument captured data from supernova remnant N132D in the Large Magellanic Cloud to create the most detailed X-ray spectrum of the object ever…
Researchers are exploring the elusive intermediate-mass black holes, theorized to bridge stellar and supermassive black holes. Simulations suggest formation pathways in dense star clusters, but…
The team identified a new radio source (white square) in the center of the cluster (red circle) Credit: Paduano et al. A global team of…
Researchers, using the James Webb Space Telescope, have discovered the oldest known black hole, challenging existing theories about black hole formation. This discovery, considered a…
XRISM’s Xtend instrument captured galaxy cluster Abell 2319 in X-rays, shown here in purple. The background is a ground-based image showing the area in visible…
Earth bears the scars of nearby supernovae through traces of unique isotopes like iron-60 and plutonium-244, found in sediments and lunar samples. These cosmic remnants,…
This image was taken by the Solar Orbiter’s Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) and shows clearly the arch-like hot loops of plasma that reach up into…
The discovery of the Big Ring, a colossal structure 9.2 billion light-years away with a diameter of 1.3 billion light-years challenges existing cosmological theories. Along…
Artistic concept of the exoplanet WASP-107b and its parent star. Even though the rather cool host star emits a relatively small fraction of high-energy photons,…
