NASA Goddard Space Flight Center runs down the best-known Black Holes in the Milky Way galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud.
Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how ...
Scientists have unlocked the 3D structure of molecular clouds in the Milky Way’s center, using a groundbreaking X-ray technique. These cosmic clouds, vital for star formation, were illuminated by past ...
While radio jets are relatively common in the nearby Universe, they have been elusive in the early Universe. This is partly ...
Astronomers have used a continent-sized radio telescope to find the largest black hole jet ever observed in the early ...
Astronomers have spied a monster radio jet in the distant universe that’s twice the width of the Milky Way galaxy. The ...
Using an observatory under construction deep beneath the Mediterranean Sea near Sicily, scientists have detected a ghostly ...
Scientists have detected the highest-energy ghost particle neutrino ever, but did it come from a supermassive black hole ...
Enjoy a free stargazing lecture followed by a Q&A panel and guided stargazing with telescopes (weather permitting). By ...
The Milky Way can be seen as something of a bully, having devoured many smaller galaxies to achieve its vast mass, and ...
