Astronomers have identified many that were previously hidden constellations on the outskirts of the Milky Way. These long, faint strings of stars, remnants of ancient constellations and constellations, could reveal the secrets of the evolution of this galaxy and the invisible dark matter that connects it. The new study, led by Yingtian “Bill” Chen of … Read more
A ring-shaped arrangement of nearly symmetrically aligned constellations 1.3 billion light-years diameter has been known in the distant universe, and its size and geometry do not fit well with current models of the universe. The structure, called the The Great Ringit was identified by Alexia Lopez at the University of Central Lancashire by analyzing quasar … Read more
astronomers have discovered a third galaxy that does not contain dark matter, challenging conventional wisdom about the mysterious substance believed to hold galaxies together. Published in a new study available in pre-print on arXiv, this discovery of NGC 1052-DF9 adds weight to the strong theory of the “Bullet Dwarf” collision, which suggests that galaxies can … Read more
Astronomers have captured the longest gamma ray burst ever observed, a seven-hour burst of intense light from a black hole devouring a companion star. The event, called GRB 250702B, lasted about 25,000 seconds, breaking the previous record of 15,000 seconds and forcing scientists to rethink how the most powerful explosions in the universe work. Gamma … Read more
For the first time, scientists have strong evidence that there is a large volcanic crater beneath the surface of Venus. By reanalyzing radar images from NASA’s Magellan mission, a team from the University of Trento has identified what appears to be a large lava flow beneath the Nyx Mons volcano. Work, published in a newspaper … Read more
Astronomers have long argued that dark matter is the invisible scaffolding that holds galaxies together. Without its immense gravitational pull, the galaxies’ rotating necks would force them to fly sideways. But now, scientists have found a series of galaxies that do not seem to have their dark matter completely. The latest in this string, known … Read more
Astronomy Artemis II is about to take a trip to a record-breaking flight orbiting the moon, giving NASA a rare opportunity to study how deep space affects the human body. After leaving Earth’s protective gravity, the four-person crew will be exposed to space weather – which includes intense bursts of radiation from the sun, known … Read more
Astronomers have revealed a rare triple-double radio galaxy 7.5 billion light-years from Earth. Known as J022248−060934, this mysterious system sheds new light on the behavior of supermassive black holes. With only six other clusters of its kind previously known, this discovery pushes the boundaries of our understanding of cosmic phenomena and could pave the way … Read more
