Intense radiation from a quasar in one of these galaxies alters the gas properties in the other galaxy and dampens its ability to form new stars, according...
In a 2023 paper, Professor Heino Falcke and his colleagues at Radboud University showed that not only black holes, but also all other objects in the Universe...
Since the Big Bang, the early Universe had hydrogen, helium, and a scant amount of lithium. Later, some heavier elements, including iron, were forged in...
The new theory, developed by physicists at Aalto University, describes gravity in a way that’s compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics,...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have discovered an ultra-massive grand-design spiral galaxy that existed just one billion...
A new study by University of California, San Diego computational astrophysicist Ethan Nadler shows that star formation can occur in halos down to 10 million...
The Lyman-apha light from JADES-GS-z13-1 has taken nearly 13.47 billion years to reach us, as it dates back to just 330 million years after the Big Bang.
This...
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected oxygen in the most distant confirmed galaxy ever found, JADES-GS-z14-0....
The Lambda-CDM (ΛCDM) model has been the foundation of modern cosmology for some time now, successfully describing large-scale structures in the Universe....
New results from the DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument) Collaboration have revealed signs of a time-varying dark energy.
Two ‘fans’ corresponding...
New images from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) reveal the Universe when it was about 380,000 years old.
An image of the CMB radiation from the Atacama...
Black holes may transition into white holes, ejecting matter and even time back into the Universe, according to a new study by physicists from the University...
Described in a paper that appears today in the journal Nature Astronomy, the discovery means habitable exoplanets could have started forming much earlier...
The newly-discovered radio jet spans an astonishing 215,000 light-years, and is associated with J1601+3102, an extremely radio-loud quasar that existed...
Using James Webb Space Telescope observations, astronomers have identified more than 40 microlensed stars in a single galaxy behind the galaxy cluster...
Dark energy — an unknown energy source that is causing our Universe’s expansion to accelerate – doesn’t actually exist, according to new research.
This...
In 2003, Hubble provided evidence of a massive exoplanet around a very old star. Such stars possess only small amounts of heavier elements that are the...
