In 2023, gravitational wave detectors caught two black holes colliding 7 billion light years away, both spinning at nearly the speed of light and both existing in a mass range
New tools unlock new discoveries in science. So when a new type of non-destructive technology becomes widely available, it’s inevitable that planetary scientists will get their hands on it to
How can artificial intelligence (AI) help astronomers identify celestial objects in the night sky? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as an international
