Supercomputer simulations are helping scientists sharpen their understanding of the environment beyond a black hole’s “shadow,” material just outside its event horizon.

The Universe’s early galaxies were engulfed in halos of high-energy cosmic rays. It’s likely because they had tangled and turbulent magnetic fields. These fields accelerate cosmic rays to higher energies.

China took a step closer to the Moon, with the first short test for their crewed lunar lander. The test was completed on Wednesday, August 6th at a facility in

The exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 d intrigues astronomers looking for possibly habitable worlds beyond our Solar System because it is similar in size to Earth, rocky, and resides in an area around

Deep in the darkness, tiny red specks of light have been driving astronomers to distraction. These mysterious “little red dots” discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope shouldn’t exist, they’re

A stunning new image of a cosmic jet has helped astronomers unlock the mystery behind the unusually bright emission of high-energy gamma rays and neutrinos from a peculiar celestial object.

Any material used as a light sail is bound by very restrictive physical requirements. It has to be extremely light , can’t melt from the energy applied to it, and

A supermassive black hole in the act of awakening from slumber haas been detected by a team of astronomers. Using powerful radio telescopes, they observed this sleeping giant as it
