Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is shrinking

Jupiter's Great Red Spot has been shrinking and researchers have found that small anticyclones have been changing its 90-day oscillation.

RNO-G: the next-generation ultra-high energy neutrino observatory

Professor Nick van Eijndhoven from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB-ELEM) speaks to The Innovation Platform’s International Editor, Clifford Holt, about the Radio Neutrino Observatory, a...

Jet of particles found exiting supermassive black hole in the early Universe

Astronomers have discovered evidence of a long jet of particles coming from a supermassive black hole in the early Universe.

New data on speed in which Universe is expanding

Determining how rapidly the Universe is expanding is key to our cosmic fate, however, the current data is conflicting with previous estimates.

The mysterious origins of solar-mass black holes

Scientists led by the KIPMU have established the origins of solar-mass black holes and their connection to dark matter.

Measuring the temperature of red supergiants

Scientists have developed a method to determine the surface temperatures of red supergiants to help astrophysicists study their lifecycle.

High-energy neutrinos and tidal disruption events

New research led by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has identified a link between high-energy neutrinos and tidal disruption events.

Juno space probe detects extremely bright meteoroid explosion

Researchers have identified a bright flash, detected by the Juno space probe above Jupiter's clouds, as a bolide, a meteoroid explosion.

High-energy cosmic neutrinos are born by quasars

Physicists have discovered that all high-energy cosmic neutrinos are born by quasars – galactic nuclei that contain supermassive black holes.

Milky Way could contain many planets like Earth

Researchers predict that there are likely many planets like Earth that have formed around other stars in the Milky Way.

Oxidising atmosphere of Mars created by microbes

Astronomers suggest that the oxidising atmosphere of Mars was created when microbes began to respire and produce oxygen.

Supercomputer gives astronomers new insight into the state of the early Universe

Astronomers at NAOJ have used a supercomputer to test a method of reconstructing the state of the early Universe.

Astrophysicists use stellar kinematics to investigate dark matter distribution

A team of researchers have investigated the strength of dark matter scattered across the smallest galaxies in the Universe using stellar kinematics.

Primordial galaxy formed much faster than astronomers expected

Scientists have revealed images of a surprisingly mature young galaxy that seems to have formed much quicker than its neighbours.
