Einstein Telescope could launch a new era in astronomy
It's still just a plan, but a new telescope could soon be measuring gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are something like the sound waves of the universe. They are created, for example, when black holes or neutron stars collide......»»
While aiming for massive gas cloud, astronomers spot differences in thickness of Milky Way Galaxy
Space may appear vast and empty, but it's full of cosmological objects that are invisible to the human eye. From our vantage point on Earth, many of these objects fall between astronomers and what they hope to observe, impacting what they find. This.....»»
