New research reveals pairs of quasars in the early universe, pointing to the key role of galaxy mergers in the rapid growth of supermassive black holes. These findings provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of early galaxies.
The discovery in the galactic cluster Macs J0018.5+1626 provides the first insight into the separation of dark matter and ordinary matter velocities during a collision, using advanced techniques such as the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel 'dovich effect to measure gas velocity.
New NASA research suggests that the oceans beneath the icy surfaces of Europa and Enceladus could support life. Organic molecules, such as amino acids, could survive despite harsh radiation, opening up the possibility of detecting signs of life without the need for deep drilling.
Scientists have discovered the planet TIC 241249530 b, which has the most eccentric orbit ever recorded, orbiting its star in retrograde. This discovery offers new insights into the evolution of hot Jupiter.
Astrophysicists have discovered how dark matter interactions allow supermassive black holes to merge, creating a background buzz of gravitational waves. This discovery gives a new insight into the nature of dark matter and the evolution of galactic structures.
Scientists have made significant progress in predicting space storms, allowing more accurate predictions of the speed and arrival of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) to Earth. These discoveries help protect the critical infrastructure and technology we use every day, making our space weather preparations more efficient.
