Fast radio bursts — powerful and poorly understood cosmic eruptions — tend to occur in massive galaxies that host long-dead ...
Estimates of how fast the universe is expanding disagree. Could a new form of dark energy resolve the problem?
This week, see how new telescopes may reshape how astronomers view the cosmos, discover forgotten medieval cities, learn ...
That’s less than the energy of a flying mosquito, all the way up to the energy of a tennis ball whacked at 100 kilometers per hour. The vast majority of cosmic rays have very low energies, but there ...
So in 1912, Victor Hess conducted balloon-borne experiments to search for these high-energy cosmic particles, discovering them immediately in great abundance and henceforth becoming the father of ...
Cosmic rays are high-energy charged particles that are created by a wide range of astrophysical processes including supernovae and the violent regions surrounding supermassive black holes. The origins ...

Astronomers say they've found an "interstellar tunnel" near our solar system that potentially leads to the vicinity of other ...
The supernova that caused the nebula was recorded by Japanese and Chinese astronomers in the 12th century. Now, we know ...
Biodynamic winemaking goes beyond organic or sustainable farming. Some producers believe it also influences when wine tastes ...
According to an astrologer, these three zodiac signs should brace for the energy of the November-December 2024 Mercury ...
