Hubble has run into more trouble. The space telescope slipped into a hibernating state more than a week ago when one of its three remaining gyroscopes—part of the pointing system—malfunctioned. The same device had been ...
This new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the broad and sweeping spiral galaxy NGC 4731. It lies in the constellation Virgo and is located 43 million light-years from Earth. This highly detailed image ...
Interactions between galaxies, including mergers and tidal interactions, have been extensively studied. It has been established that mergers between massive galaxies can alter galaxy morphologies, enhance star formation, ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered what appears to be a new record-holder for the most distant known galaxy, a remarkably bright star system that existed just 290 million years after the Big Bang, NASA said Thursday.
How can machine learning help astronomers find Earth-like exoplanets? This is what a new study hopes to address as a team of international researchers investigated how a novel neural network-based algorithm could be used ...
Scientists at the University of Warwick are using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze cosmic explosions known as supernovae. Their paper is published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Contrary to what is established by the standard model, dark matter may indeed be self-interacting. This was the conclusion of a piece of research published in Astronomy & Astrophysics and conducted by Riccardo Valdarnini ...
Stars near the center of our galaxy are acting kind of weird. Dark matter may be the explanation.
