After only one year of operations, the European Space Agency's Euclid mission has begun to unravel the mystery of why galaxies take on different shapes and how these different shapes relate to each ...

Microquasars in our Milky Way galaxy have emerged as the most extreme particle engines, accelerating cosmic rays to ...

The trip took place in July 2024 and took 6 days. Over that time, the flying observatory looked at two main sources: the Crab ...

BEIJING -- Scientists using China's Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) found that black holes, devouring ...

LHAASO has uncovered that micro-quasars, black holes feeding on companion stars, are powerful PeV particle accelerators.

To further understand the phenomenon, precise measurements of the energy spectra of various cosmic ray species and their respective "knee" regions are essential. However, due to the rarity of cosmic ...

Milestone results released by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) on November 16 have solved a ...

Black holes, regions of spacetime in which gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, are intriguing and extensively ...

Two distant black hole mergers detected in late 2024 have emitted powerful gravitational waves that matched predictions made over a century ago by Albert Einstein.

An international team of astronomers has confirmed the discovery of three Earth-sized planets in the binary star system ...

In the fall of 2024, two separate pairs of stellar mass black holes, hundreds of millions of light-years away, spiraled into each other and merged in collisions of unimaginable violence. But these ...

A newly observed gravitational wave event from the collision of two massive, rapidly spinning black holes forces scientists to reconsider how these cosmic giants are born and grow.
