First detection of cross-correlation between cosmic shear and X-ray background enhances baryonic matter understanding
A new study in Physical Review Letters offers the first detection of the cross-correlation between cosmic shear and diffuse X-ray background, helping to understand the distribution of baryonic matter in the universe......»»
How gravitational waves could help detect Star Trek-style warp drive spaceships
How much do we really know about what else is out there in the universe?.....»»
NASA"s mini BurstCube mission detects its first gamma-ray burst
The shoebox-sized BurstCube satellite has observed its first gamma-ray burst, the most powerful kind of explosion in the universe, according to a recent analysis of observations collected over the last several months......»»
Amateur Scientist: Detect Cosmic Dust & Space Debris
Tweak the Make: Twilight photometer to detect micrometeors and orbital junk 400 miles high. The post Amateur Scientist: Detect Cosmic Dust & Space Debris appeared first on Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers......»»
Gravitational wave observatories could detect primordial black holes speeding through the solar system
Cosmologists have long hypothesized that the conditions of the early universe could have caused the formation of black holes not long after the Big Bang. These "primordial black holes" have a much wider mass range than those that formed in the later.....»»
85% of the matter in the universe is missing: But scientists are getting closer to finding it
Most of the matter in the universe is missing. Scientists believe around 85% of the matter in the cosmos is made of invisible dark matter, which has only been detected indirectly by its gravitational effects on its surroundings......»»
Observatory reveals key evidence of cosmic ray acceleration limit in W51 for first time
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) officially released the precise measurements of high-energy gamma radiation from the W51 complex, confirming it as a cosmic-ray accelerator boosting particles up to so-called ultra-high energies.....»»
James Webb is explaining the puzzle of some of the earliest galaxies
Webb has been causing bafflement in the field of cosmology. But the problem isn't that the universe is broken - it's that early black holes were playing tricks......»»
NASA"s Roman Space Telescope to investigate galactic fossils
The universe is a dynamic, ever-changing place where galaxies are dancing, merging together, and shifting appearance. Unfortunately, because these changes take millions or billions of years, telescopes can only provide snapshots, squeezed into a huma.....»»
New Horizons spacecraft measurements shed light on the darkness of the universe
Just how dark is deep space? Astronomers may have finally answered this long-standing question by tapping into the capabilities and distant position of NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, by making the most precise, direct measurements ever of the total.....»»
Pioneering research suggests nature of dark matter is more elusive than ever
New results from the world's most sensitive dark matter detector narrow down its characteristics, edging closer to unraveling one of the biggest mysteries of the universe......»»
Dark matter could have helped make supermassive black holes in the early universe
It takes a long time for supermassive black holes, like the one at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, to form. Typically, the birth of a black hole requires a giant star with the mass of at least 50 of our suns to burn out—a process that can take.....»»
What makes a supercluster?
By eye, it's impossible to pick out the exact boundaries of the superclusters, which are among the largest structures in the universe. But that's because they are not defined by their edges, but by the common motion of their components......»»
Experiment sets new record in search for dark matter
Figuring out the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world's most sensitive dark matter detector, LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), have narrowe.....»»
Astrophysicists use AI to precisely calculate universe"s "settings"
The standard model of the universe relies on just six numbers. Using a new approach powered by artificial intelligence, researchers at the Flatiron Institute and their colleagues extracted information hidden in the distribution of galaxies to estimat.....»»
Researchers identify effective materials for protecting astronauts from harmful cosmic radiation on Mars
Researchers have identified specific materials, including certain plastics, rubber, and synthetic fibers, as well as Martian soil (regolith), which would effectively protect astronauts by blocking harmful space radiation on Mars. These findings could.....»»
Citizen science project identifies 20 new astronomical discoveries
A citizen science project, which invites members of the public to take part in identifying cosmic explosions, has already identified 20 new astronomical discoveries......»»
