Something out there is tugging on our solar system, and it’s moving way faster than scientists expected. Astronomers keep seeing strange motions that don’t match anything we can see. It’s like an ...
An international team of astronomers has conducted optical and near-infrared observations of a supernova designated SN ...
A puzzling cosmic blast detected in both light and gravitational waves may hint at a previously unseen type of explosion, challenging astronomers to rethink how neutron stars are born and collide.
In a strange turn of events, a supernova birthed twin baby neutron stars that merged to make a powerful kilonova.
A mysterious cosmic explosion linked to gravitational waves may reveal a previously unknown type of supernova event - a ...
"The sheer amount of radiated energy from these bursts is so large that you can't power them with a core collapse stellar ...
Astronomers may have discovered the first example of an explosive cosmic event called a "superkilonova," in the form of a ...
Cosmic “touchdown airbursts” — explosions of comets or asteroids above Earth’s surface — may be far more common and destructive than previously thought, according to new research. Unlike ...
China is simultaneously the country enabling Pakistan’s solar boom and the country whose earlier coal investments continue to shape the power system’s financial and environmental burdens.
Columbia Professor Brian Metzger helped other astronomers interpret their observations of the unexpected stellar event.
"A single collision could have catastrophic long-term consequences," the authors explain, and we would not have long to avoid ...
Astronomers used major telescopes across the world to probe a cosmic explosion 8 billion light-years from the solar system.
