Billions of light years away in a remote part of the universe, two neutron stars – the ultradense remnants of dead stars – collided. The catastropic cosmic event sent light and particles, including a ...

Scientists have confirmed that colossal collisions between galaxies trigger titanic eruptions in the centers of those galaxies, and the discovery is thanks to an artificial intelligence tool that was ...

A powerful "gamma-ray burst" has been seen exploding from merging neutron stars hidden within a previously unknown ...

Detecting supermassive black holes just before their merger would lead to significant advances in astrophysics. To achieve this, a new innovative approach combines the study of the gravitational ...

A recently detected flash of energy appears to have emanated from the wreckage of colliding galaxies, according to an international team of astronomers led by Penn State scientists. The burst, known ...

When studying local galaxy cluster Abell 3667, Anthony Englert GS, a Ph.D. candidate in physics, noticed something unique. Connecting the brightest galaxies in two small clusters within Abell 3667 was ...

Astronomers detect a laser-like signal coming from colliding galaxies 8 billion light-years away. A cosmic mystery.

Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered evidence that galaxy mergers matter. When two galaxies move close, gravity can ...

"We can study a diverse population of supermassive black holes and their radio jets at different stages of their evolution." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Astronomers used AI to search 35 years of Hubble data and discovered over 1,300 rare cosmic anomalies hidden in plain sight.
