Still image from animation showing a simulation of pulsations in the delta Scuti variable star called HD 31901, based on brightness measurements by NASA’s Transiting…
This image shows a region of space called LHA 120-N150. It is a substructure of the gigantic Tarantula Nebula. The latter is the largest known…
Current experiments’ detectors and data analysis efforts could be refocused to seek out newly suggested types of dark matter signals that may have been overlooked.…
Galaxies such as our own Milky Way are more likely to harbor intelligent, technologically advanced civilizations. Giant elliptical galaxies are not as likely as previously…
This artist’s impression shows the orbits of the objects in the HR 6819 triple system. This system is made up of an inner binary with…
Astronomers may one day decipher the atmospheres of Earth-like rocky exoplanets, shown here in an artistic rendering by Cornell doctoral candidate Jack Madden ’20. The…

An artist’s impression of two black holes about to collide and merge. Gravitational-wave astronomy provides a unique new way to study the expansion history of…
These are brightness variations of the Sun in comparison with the star KIC 7849521. Credit: MPS / hormesdesign.de An analysis of 369 solar-like stars shows…
Montage of the computer simulation of two merging neutron stars that blends over with an image from heavy-ion collisions to highlight the connection of astrophysics…
This image shows two massive black holes in the OJ 287 galaxy. The smaller black hole orbits the larger one, which is also surrounded by…
The universe’s first structure originated when some of the material flung outward by the Big Bang overcame its trajectory and collapsed on itself, forming clumps.…

Scientists examining the light from one of the furthermost quasars in the universe were astonished to find fluctuations in the electromagnetic force. Not only does…
Atoms and molecules behave very differently at extreme temperatures and pressures. Although such extreme matter doesn’t exist naturally on the earth, it exists in abundance…
Astronomers may have discovered a new kind of survival story: a star that had a brush with a giant black hole and lived to tell…
Data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have revealed an expanding cloud of dust produced in a collision between two large bodies orbiting the bright…
A still image from a simulation of the formation of dark matter structures from the early universe until today. Gravity makes dark matter clump into…
