Study finds luminous red galaxies gain mass and acquire fewer satellite galaxies with time
Lado Samushia, associate professor of physics in the College of Arts and Sciences, Kansas State University, is part of a collaboration studying the mysterious force behind the universe's accelerating expansion, referred to as dark energy......»»
Using gravitational waves to hunt for dark matter
Using computer simulations, an international team of cosmologists have discovered that observations of gravitational waves from merging black holes may unveil the true nature of dark matter. Their finding will be presented today at the 2023 National.....»»
Video: European satellite captures lightning strikes
The first ever satellite instrument capable of continuously detecting lightning across Europe and Africa has now been switched on. New animations from the innovative 'Lighting Imager' confirm the instrument will revolutionize the detection and predic.....»»
Next generation gravitational wave detectors could pin down dark matter
Gravitational astronomy is a relatively new discipline that has opened many doors for astronomers to understand how the huge and violent end of the scale works. It has been used to map out merging black holes and other extreme events throughout the u.....»»
James Webb spots clues to the large-scale structure of the universe
If you look at the universe on a big enough scale, galaxies aren't randomly scattered. Instead, they form a structure known as the cosmic web......»»
The universe has a cosmic ‘hum’ caused by merging black holes
A 15-year study has provided more evidence of gravitational waves, including those at very low frequencies......»»
