Astrophysics

X-ray data gathered by the Chandra telescope from the center of M31, highlighting the four nuclear sources — S1, SSS, N1, and P2. P2 corresponds to the position of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Andromeda galaxy.

When a Black Hole Winks at You

An artistic representation of what a giant cosmic jet the size of the distance between the Milky Way and Andromeda could look like (image for illustrative purposes only).

Cosmic Monsters in Plain Sight: Massive Radio Galaxies May Be More Common Than We Thought

Categories Physics & Mathematics, Space

A star and a black hole orbit each other closely: mass from the star is captured by the black hole. As a consequence of this, a pair of jets launch away from the black hole.

Tiny Black Holes Pack a Cosmic Punch: Scientists Spot New Particle Accelerators in Space

Categories Physics & Mathematics, Space

Extremely precise measurements of the distance between the Earth and the Coma cluster of galaxies provide new evidence for the Universe’s faster-than-expected rate of expansion.

New Distance Measurements Intensify Mystery of Universe’s Expansion Rate

Categories Physics & Mathematics, Space

The massive, yet invisible halo of dark matter of a galaxy cluster works as a "macrolens,", while lone, unbound stars drifting through the cluster act as additional "microlenses, multiplying the factor of magnification.

Study Reveals How Early Universe’s Giant Black Holes Grew So Quickly

Categories Physics & Mathematics, Space

A gravitational atom. Just as electrons can orbit around the nucleus of an atom, a cloud of previously undiscovered ultralight particles can orbit around pairs of black holes.

Black Hole Mergers Could Reveal Elusive Ultralight Particles

An artist’s illustration depicts a primordial black hole (at left) flying past, and briefly “wobbling” the orbit of Mars (at right), with the sun in the background. MIT scientists say such a wobble could be detectable by today’s instruments. Credits:Credit: Image by Benjamin Lehmann, using SpaceEngine @ Cosmographic Software LLC.

Mars’ Wobble Could Reveal Dark Matter, MIT Study Suggests

Categories Physics & Mathematics, Space

Early dark energy could have triggered the formation of numerous bright galaxies, very early in the universe, a new study finds. The mysterious unknown force could have caused early seeds of galaxies (depicted at left) to sprout many more bright galaxies (at right) than theory predicts. Credits:Image: Josh Borrow/Thesan Team
