Furthering our understanding of the origins of cosmic rays

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame have developed a simulation model to improve our understanding of the origins of cosmic rays.

UGC 10738 investigation reveals mysterious origins of the Milky Way

Scientists have revealed the origins of the Milky Way, indicating that our home galaxy evolved gradually instead of in a violent collision.

Dwarf galaxies had simultaneous ‘baby boom’ of new stars

In a groundbreaking discovery that challenges current notions of how galaxies grow, 36 dwarf galaxies light-years apart have had a simultaneous ‘baby boom’ of new stars.

Plasma jets reveal magnetic fields in galaxy clusters

Researchers at Nagoya University have discovered plasma jets interacting with magnetic fields in a gigantic galaxy cluster 600 million light-years away, utilising radio telescopes and supercomputer simulations.

ALMA discovers the most ancient galaxy with Spiral Morphology

Researchers at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) have examined data obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and discovered an ancient galaxy with a spiral morphology by only 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang.

Unprecedented insight into the precise age of the stars in our galaxy

Researchers have been successful in ascertaining the age of some of the oldest stars in our galaxy with extraordinary accuracy by merging data from the stars’ oscillations with information about their chemical composition.

The Astrophysics of planet formation and searching for baby planets

Andrea Isella of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rice University discusses the search for baby planets and the astrophysics of planet formation. As of...

Discovery of five double-Sun planets that may support life

A study has detected five planets with double-Sun orbits that potentially create conditions capable of supporting life, such as liquid water.

The SKA Observatory has announced its novel future branding

The formally known SKA Observatory, based at the iconic Jodrell Bank Observatory, has divulged its future SKAO branding.

Chemical signature discovered on exoplanet for the first time

A collective of international researchers has identified a novel chemical signature in an exoplanet’s atmosphere for the first time ever.

Gas accretion responsible for the mass of stars

Researchers from Japan have discovered that a star's mass is determined by the gas accretion from its core, not the mass at its inception. The...

New observations reveal 21/Borisov as the most pristine comet ever

Fresh findings from the ESO's VLT reveal that rogue comet 21/Borisov may be the most pristine we have ever encountered.
