In a world first, the team has been able to look at a distant black hole and resolve the area where its jets are launched from. This is the first empirical…
The point of no return: In astronomy, it’s known as a black hole — a region in space where the pull of gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can…
For the first time, they have measured the black hole's “point of no return” – the closest distance that matter can approach before being irretrievably pulled…
Using a method called reconstructive speckle imaging, the researchers took the sharpest ground-based snapshots ever obtained of Pluto and Charon in visible…
The research findings appear in the September issue of Physical Review Letters. “Black hole bombs and photon mass bounds” is co-authored by Emanuele Berti, UM…
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera Narrow Angle Camera (LROC NAC) team from the University of Arizona and Arizona State University are currently…
Called the eXtreme Deep Field, or XDF, the photo was assembled by combining 10 years of NASA Hubble Space Telescope photographs taken of a patch of sky at the…
“Making these measurements possible is the platform on which the instruments are flying,” said Paul Newman, the deputy principal investigator of NASA's…
Many researchers have tried to transmit optical signals through SPPs for application to photonic integrated circuits. However, optical frequency signal…
If the size and mass of this gas halo is confirmed, it also could be an explanation for what is known as the “missing baryon” problem for the galaxy.Baryons…
The mirrors are going through receiving and inspection and will then be stored in the Goddard cleanroom until engineers are ready to assemble them onto the…
Imagine a clock that will keep perfect time forever, even after the heat-death of the universe. This is the “wow” factor behind a device known as a “space-time…
Scientists routinely use large telescopes to scan the sky, mapping the coordinates and estimating the distances of hundreds of thousands of galaxies and so…
An international team of physicists has pushed the boundaries on ultra-precise measurement by harnessing quantum light waves in a new way.It is one thing to be…
The prominences are sometimes also the inner structure of a larger formation, appearing from the side almost as the filament inside a large light bulb. The…
An international team of researchers that includes astrophysicists of Heidelberg University has discovered a galaxy straight from the nursery of the universe….
