The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged a "200,000 light-year-long trail of newborn stars" that may have been left behind by a ...

The kilonova briefly mimicked the conditions immediately following the Big Bang, and allowed scientists to confirm the source ...

Astronomers have used a range of telescopes, including Hubble, to watch as particles dance around a neutron star collision ...

If true, this theory could explain how all of the matter in our universe was created.

while background radiation prevented them from forming stars. Instead, they collapsed into black holes. The trouble is that ...

The predicted radiation would be orders of magnitude weaker than the background radiation, though, making it all but impossible to detect. That’s where [Steinhauer]’s sonic black holes come in.

Known as primordial black holes, these ancient objects are thought ... been able to actually find any in the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the remnants of the oldest light in the universe.

Nijmegen master's students predict that LISA, an upcoming space antenna project by the ESA, will detect stronger ...

The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of two neutron ...

The background noise of gravitational waves from orbiting white dwarf stars will be stronger than the noise from binary black holes. This is what two Dutch master's students and their supervisor ...

astronomers recently spotted double the expected amount of supernovae along a massive 3,000-light-year-long jet blasting out of the supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s center. Researchers ...
