The distribution of normal matter precisely determines gravitational acceleration in all common types of galaxies, a team led by Case Western Reserve University researchers reports. The team has shown ...

Astronomers spotted nine galaxies with characteristics that have never been seen as a collection before. It's possible this ...

In 1963, Caltech researcher Maarten Schmidt had a eureka moment. He was looking at the spectrum of a mysterious object named 3C 273, a source that had been found and cataloged with then-novel radio ...

Researchers suggest the universe's background radiation has been overestimated, potentially challenging the standard model of cosmology and our understanding of early galaxy formation. Space, time and ...

"Imagine that you shoot a cloud with a gun; the energy of the bullet can be as large as you wish, and the cloud won't care. Yet we see less clouds of gas where there are black holes." When you ...

Researchers have uncovered where FRBs are more likely to occur in the universe -- massive star-forming galaxies rather than low - mass ones. Since their discovery in 2007, fast radio bursts -- ...
