Using a chain of atoms in single file to simulate the event horizon of a black hole, a team of physicists in 2022 observed the equivalent of what we call Hawking radiation – particles born from ...

New data from the James Webb Space Telescope may solve a riddle from the universe’s beginnings. A compact, distant object called “The Cliff” appears to show that many of the mysterious “little red ...

The discovery of a large population of compact, red objects, now widely known as Little Red Dots (LRDs) is one of the most exciting results by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to date. An ...

Supermassive black holes spiral towards each other in this simulation created by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center that shows how they glow in ultraviolet and X-ray light. The black holes are only 40 ...

Scientists use the Frontier supercomputer to reveal how black holes and magnetic fields keep galaxy clusters stable for billions of years.

To probe the mysteries of how galaxies evolve over time, scientists needed a supercomputer with out-of-this-world computational power.

A century after astronomers first spotted the colossal jet blasting from the black hole at the heart of the galaxy M87, a new look has brought it into startling focus. Using infrared observations, ...

For decades, black holes were thought to be invisible. Now, scientists have revealed how they look, using groundbreaking images and simulations. This video explores the discovery and its meaning.

In the realm of astrophysics, recent discussions have emerged around a newly analyzed gravitational wave, GW190521, detected in 2019. This wave, initially ...

A mysterious optical illusion is baffling scientists by triggering real physical reactions in the eyes of most people—while leaving others completely unaffected.

Ultimate space challenge: For teens (15-18), the Ultimate Hydro Boost Experience – Parachute Workshop advances the basics into a powerful lift-off simulation, exploring propulsion and safe landing ...

A mysterious "rogue" planet has been observed gobbling six billion tonnes of gas and dust a second -- an unprecedented rate that blurs the line between planets and stars, astronomers said. Astronomers ...
