An international team from China and Italy has reported a possible cosmic encore to the landmark 2017 multi-messenger discovery. In November 2024, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observatories detected ...
A recently detected flash of energy appears to have emanated from the wreckage of colliding galaxies, according to an international team of astronomers led by Penn State scientists. The burst, known ...
Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope, researchers pinpointed a short gamma-ray burst to a faint galaxy that appears to be part of a larger group of galaxies about 8.5 ...
In November 2024, gravitational-wave detectors recorded the violent merger of two black holes billions of light-years away. Normally, such events are invisible to telescopes, producing only faint ...
Most gamma-ray bursts—the brightest, most powerful explosions in the universe—are tracked back to the deaths of massive stars. But a new discovery suggests that such enormous explosions can come from ...
Eleonora Troja receives funding from European Research Council. Billions of light years away in a remote part of the universe, two neutron stars – the ultradense remnants of dead stars – collided. The ...
Astronomers have detected a gamma-ray burst (GRB) like none other. GRB 250702B was longer than any ever observed and repeated ...
"We found a collision within a collision. The galaxy collision triggered a wave of star formation that, over hundreds of millions of years, led to the birth and eventual collision of these neutron ...
Historically planetary defense research has focused on deflecting asteroids by using momentum to nudge their cosmic course ...
Mike Hankey, a researcher who manages fireball reporting tools for the AMS, analyzed data stretching back to 2011. He shared his findings in a recent AMS report, noting this meteorite season is ...
Most of the Van Allen Probe A, in orbit since 2012, will incinerate in Earth’s atmosphere, NASA said. But some pieces are expected to survive, posing a small risk to people on the ground. By Michael ...
In 2012, NASA launched two probes into space: Van Allen Probe A and Van Allen Probe B. Their goal was to collect data on charged particles passing through Earth’s magnetic field. Those particles can ...
