New research using computer simulations and astronomical data has uncovered that some long-lasting gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are caused by cosmic mergers forming black holes, challenging…
NASA’s annual Antarctic Long Duration Balloon Campaign, beginning around December 1, will launch three scientific balloons from McMurdo Station, Antarctica. These balloons will support five…
Astronomers have discovered a rotating disk around a forming high-mass star in the Large Magellanic Cloud, marking the most distant such observation. This discovery, made…
Researchers discovered a universal scaling law in neutron stars, including magnetars, that might explain mysterious Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). By studying the sub-structure of their…
Cosmology, the study of the universe’s origin and structure, is divided into observational and physical branches. It has evolved from Copernicus’ and Newton’s discoveries to…
