Afterglow sheds light on the nature, origin of neutron star collisions
Sep 10, 2019 (SPX)
Not only is the resulting image the deepest picture of the neutron star collision's afterglow to date, it also reveals secrets about the origins of the merger, ...
Hubble explores the formation and evolution of star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Sep 10, 2019 (SPX)
Previous research on the formation and evolution of star clusters has suggested that these systems tend to be compact and dense when they form, before expanding...
China's giant telescope picks up mysterious signals from deep space
Sep 10, 2019 (XNA)
Scientists detected the signals with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) and they are carefully cross-checking and processing them,...
Space dragons: Researchers observe energy consumption in quasars
Sep 05, 2019 (SPX)
Researchers, for the first time, have observed the accelerated rate at which eight quasars consume interstellar fuel to feed their black holes. "As the most lum...
NASA Satellite Spots a Mystery That's Gone in a Flash
Sep 05, 2019 (JPL)
The primary objective of the NuSTAR observations was to study the supernova - the explosion of a star much more massive than our Sun - that appears as a bright ...
Study Reveals 'Radical' Wrinkle in Forming Complex Carbon Molecules in Space
Sep 04, 2019 (SPX)
The team's research has now identified several avenues by which ringed molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs, can form in space. The late...
Cluster and XMM-Newton Pave the Way for SMILE Mission
Aug 29, 2019 (SPX)
A joint European-Chinese spacecraft, SMILE is currently scheduled for launch in 2023. It will be placed in a highly inclined, elliptical orbit around Earth, whi...
Webb Telescope assembled for the first time
Aug 29, 2019 (SPX)

The Latest Look at First Light from Chandra
Aug 27, 2019 (SPX)
Located about 11,000 light-years from Earth, Cas A (as it's nicknamed) is the glowing debris field left behind after a massive star exploded. When the star ran ...
How light steers electrons in metals
Aug 27, 2019 (SPX)
