Astronomers have identified one of the oldest “dead” galaxies ever observed and discovered new evidence that supermassive black holes can quietly choke off star formation over time, rather than destroying galaxies in sudden, violent events.
Astronomers have discovered a correlation between the quantity of dust surrounding the supermassive black hole and the intensity of radio emissions emitted by exceptionally luminous galaxies.
On September 13th, a team of international astronomers, including scientists from Queen's University, discovered two potential polar ring galaxies using CSIRO'S ASKAP radio telescope's WALLABY survey.
A study recently published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society hints at a significant discovery—black holes may be lurking in the Hyades star cluster, our closest open cluster to the solar system.
Astronomers have used the Atacama Large Millimeter / Submillimeter Array (ALMA) to detect the magnetic field of a distant galaxy, whose light has travelled over 11 billion years to reach us.
Astronomers have discovered a connection between the changing cloud levels on Neptune and the 11-year solar cycle, during which the Sun's fluctuating magnetic fields influence solar events.
New research is improving the accuracy of the parameters governing the expansion of the universe, helping astronomers determine how the universe grew into its...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), in collaboration with NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency, is conducting research into early star formation in galaxies.
The sensation of ‘weightlessness’ during space travel has long-term effects on the brain, where the brain's rules about gravity are no longer applicable.
Samples from the 162173 Ryugu asteroid collected by Japan’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft could help us understand the chemical composition of the solar system.
Students are navigating satellites' brightness and speed to declutter space traffic and assist astronomers by preventing light trails on their telescope-mounted cameras.
Dr John Yardley, Founder and CEO of Threads Software Limited, shares his enthusiasm for cosmology and astrophysics, considering what they are and why we might be interested in them.
