Measuring darkness: The poetry of deep space
April 19, 2022Mix a creative writer with a computational astrophysicist, and you’ve got a recipe for a deeply personal exploration of darkness. Measuring Darkness is…
Astronomers detect galactic space laser
April 7, 2022A powerful radio-wave laser, called a ‘megamaser’, has been observed by the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa.
Mysterious object unlike anything astronomers have seen before
January 27, 2022A team mapping radio waves in the Universe has discovered something unusual that releases a giant burst of energy three times an hour, and it’s unlike anything astronomers have seen before. The team who discovered it think it could be a neutron star or a white dwarf—collapsed cores of stars—with an ultra-powerful magnetic field.
Astronomers capture black hole eruption spanning 16 times the full Moon in the sky
December 23, 2021Astronomers have observed the nearest active supermassive black hole to Earth at radio wavelengths in unprecedented detail. The emission is powered by a central black hole in the galaxy Centaurus A, about 12 million light years away.
