Footprints of phase transitions in the early universe
Gravitational waves produced by the phase transitions of matter right after the Big Bang could provide new insights into particle physics.
Dwarf galaxy reveals new structure in the Local Void
Strange behaviour in an isolated galaxy leads to the discovery of matter in a region of space previously thought to be empty.
The true colors of stars
Stars are depicted using different colors, but are they accurate? A new scientific color palette aims to put misrepresentations to rest.
Largest known comet from Oort Cloud captured by Hubble
Astronomers capture images of a four billion-year-old relic that fell from the theorized Oort Cloud that encircles our Solar System.
Neptune’s unexpectedly cool summer
A compilation of data gathered over the last 20 years shows a surprising drop in global temperatures on Neptune.
Mysterious death of carbon star
Scientists have observed the mysterious death of a carbon-rich star, which was characterized by the mass ejection of matter into space.
String theory fuzzballs resolve famous black hole paradox
Scientists have turned to string theory to better understand black holes, proposing they can be modeled as “fuzzballs” made up of interacting strings.
Finding a magnetar, a neutron star’s baby brother
Scientists have observed a peculiar object emitting radio waves once every 20 minutes, and it may be a new kind of neutron star.
Black hole asymmetry puts quantum gravity to the test
Physicists hope to detect asymmetry in spinning black holes using NASA’s LISA telescope to finally provide proof of quantum gravity.
