This artist’s concept shows the entire sky in gamma rays with magenta circles illustrating the uncertainty in the direction from which more high-energy gamma rays than average seem to be arriving. In ...

Today, the European Space Agency's gamma-ray telescope ends its observations. During its 22 years in space, Integral has reshaped our view of the most dramatic events in the universe. The high-energy ...

Astronomers analyzing 13 years of data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have found an unexpected and as yet unexplained feature outside of our galaxy. Astronomers analyzing 13 years of data ...

Nearly a century after astronomers first proposed dark matter to explain the strange motions of galaxies, scientists may finally be catching a glimpse of it. A University of Tokyo researcher analyzing ...

A small research satellite designed to study the violent processes behind the creation and destruction of chemical elements will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in 2027, NASA announced Tuesday. The ...

Solar physicists fromNJIT’s Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (NJIT-CSTR) have uncovered the elusive source of intense gamma rays unleashed during solar flares. These high-energy radiation signals ...

The longest gamma-ray burst ever recorded did not roar for seconds or even minutes, but for a staggering seven hours, forcing astronomers to rethink how some of the most violent explosions in the ...

Above the cloud tops, thunderstorms throb with a complex, frenetic light show of high-energy radiation. A view from a retrofitted spy plane soaring at 20 kilometers up revealed storms glowing and ...

NASA sent a retired Cold War spy plane on a storm-chasing mission, and it discovered that big thunderstorms are very radioactive. Large thunderstorms produce so much gamma radiation that the clouds ...
