In 2020 a team led by European Southern Observatory (ESO) astronomers reported the closest black hole to Earth, located just 1,000 light-years away in the HR 6819 system. But the results of their study were contested by other ...

Deep neural network to find hidden turbulent motion on the sun

Scientists developed a neural network deep learning technique to extract hidden turbulent motion information from observations of the sun. Tests on three different sets of simulation data showed that it is possible to infer ...

Cosmic web orchestrates the progression of galaxies

The shape of galaxies and how they evolve depend on a web of cosmological filaments that run across the universe. According to a recent study headed by EPFL's Laboratory of Astrophysics, this cosmic web plays a much bigger ...

Scientists reveal 4.4 million galaxies in a new map

Durham University astronomer collaborating with a team of international scientists have mapped more than a quarter of the northern sky using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), a pan-European radio telescope.

Astronomers map mysterious element in space

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has provided an important clue to the origin of the element ytterbium in the Milky Way, by showing that the element largely originates from supernova explosions. The groundbreaking ...

First quadruple asteroid system detected

A trio of researchers from the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand, Université de Lyon and Sorbonne Université, respectively, has made the first sighting of a quadruple asteroid system—an asteroid with ...
