2+ day, 23+ hour ago   (256+ words) Astronomers have publicly presented a unique animation with the highest resolution ever achieved, showing in detail a giant jet erupting from a supermassive black hole. Creating this short video required more than 27 years of observations and advanced artificial intelligence algorithms....

4+ day, 20+ hour ago   (134+ words) Separately, a coronagraph — a device that obstructs the star’s light to enable direct imaging of faint planets and protoplanetary disks around stars — will be tested onboard. For the Roman mission, this primarily constitutes a technological experiment aimed at refining the…...

4+ day, 18+ hour ago   (480+ words) The team links this growth to the galaxy UGC 1176, located approximately 400,000 light-years away. Such close encounters can disturb cold gas in the outskirts of a galaxy and trigger star formation there. According to Ignacio Trujillo, a researcher at the Instituto…...

5+ day, 17+ hour ago   (403+ words) Scientists have proposed a new exotic mechanism for the formation of low-mass black holes. They may exist inside massive stars if dark matter gets inside them. In this case, their existence is sustained by the gravity of the star. Black…...

6+ day, 6+ min ago   (342+ words) The study results, published in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, indicate that rapidly growing black holes in the early Universe may often have formed close pairs through interactions between their host galaxies. LRDs are one of James…...

5+ day, 23+ hour ago   (426+ words) A joint research mission of the European Space Agency (ESA), Japan, and the United States, worth nearly $2 billion, has completed its journey to the smallest planet and the one closest to the Sun. After eight years of complex maneuvering, the…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (833+ words) Why does Venus lack any moons? This inquiry has perplexed scientists for decades. Was it never capable of forming a moon, or did it initially have one that has since vanished? Recent research may contribute to elucidating this enigma. Venus…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (366+ words) A recent examination of a 17th-century manuscript indicates that the renowned astronomer and engineer Galileo Galilei may have been engaging in experiments with the development of sophisticated four-lens telescopes as early as the early 1630s. This positions him among the pioneers…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago   (693+ words) According to recent data, the boundary of the galaxy’s principal stellar structure is approximately 260 kiloparsecs from the core, and its overall diameter extends to 1.7 million light-years. “By way of comparison: the diameter of the Milky Way’s stellar disk is about…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (656+ words) Individuals interested in participating may claim a single pixel in one of the initial images captured by the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. To do so, simply provide your email address on the campaign webpage. The system will promptly generate…...
