Astronomers have found new evidence suggesting a possible connection between dark energy and black holes, two seemingly unrelated phenomena. Dark energy, which makes up about 70% of the universe, is believed to have emerged...

An extraordinary discovery has been made by a team of physicists who observed the largest black hole jets ever seen in a galaxy 7.5 billion light-years away. These massive jets, named Porphyrion after a...

Dark matter, the mysterious substance that makes up the majority of the mass in almost every galaxy in the universe, has long remained invisible to scientists. Despite its gravitational interactions with other objects, dark...

Supermassive black holes are some of the most impressive objects in the universe, with masses around one billion times more than that of the Sun. These black holes have been around for a long...

Gravity has long been a fundamental force in the universe, guiding the motion of planets, stars, and galaxies. However, recent observations have shed light on the existence of unseen sources of gravity known as...

Quasars, those enigmatic and powerful sources of light in the universe, have long fascinated astronomers with their ability to influence the galaxies around them. One such quasar, VIK J2348-3054, has recently been found to...

The fate of the universe is a topic that has intrigued scientists and researchers for years. While we may not know for sure how the universe will end, there are several theories that have...

A recent study of the cosmic expansion rate using the James Webb Space Telescope has reignited the debate over the Hubble tension in cosmology. The Hubble tension refers to the discrepancy between the measured...

Are you ready to test your space knowledge? Take the quiz below to see how much you know about the wonders of the universe. If you pass the test, you'll receive a personalized badge...

Albert Einstein, after presenting his special theory of relativity in 1905, spent years grappling with the challenge of developing a theory of gravity. He aimed to demonstrate that gravity results from the bending of...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have made a surprising discovery near a supermassive black hole. The team found a "shock" feature caused by collisions with high-speed gas jets, rather than the...

Scientists have proposed a new theory that microscopic wormholes may be responsible for the expanding universe. These tiny wormholes are believed to be constantly forming due to quantum effects in space, and if confirmed,...

The Palomar Observatory in Southern California, known for its iconic 200-inch Hale Telescope, has recently made a surprising announcement. The kitchen that once served astronomers with elegant sit-down meals during their observing runs has...

The Big Bang theory is not as simple as it sounds. Scientists now believe it was a period of time rather than a specific moment. This theory has been supported by the discovery of...

Palomar Observatory, located in Southern California, is bidding farewell to a long-standing tradition of serving elegant sit-down meals to astronomers during their observing runs. The California Institute of Technology, which owns and operates the...
