New ALMA observations reveal a complex network of gas filaments in the Milky Way’s central 650 light-years, enabling detailed studies of star formation in extreme galactic conditions.
Astronomers produced the most complete map of the center of the Milky Way, which can provide insight into how stars and ...
Black holes are the most extreme objects in our universe - but could one actually destroy Earth? In this video, we explore the mind-bending science of black holes, from spaghettification to time ...
When the densest objects in the universe collide and merge, the violence sets off ripples, in the form of gravitational waves ...
Collaboration has published its latest compilation of gravitational-wave detections, showing the universe is echoing all over with a kaleidoscope of cosmic collisions.
Black holes that turn matter into energy could explain dark energy and answer two other cosmic questions. Now, the challenge ...
A subtle gravitational-wave “hum” from merging black holes may help settle the cosmic fight over how fast the universe is ...
