Many Zooniverse-themed papers have been published in the pages of Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS) over the years. A recent article in Astronomy & Geophysics (A&G),…| Daily Zooniverse
For the first time, an international team managed to capture an image showing two black holes orbiting one another, a result that offers visual proof of a phenomenon previously inferred only via indirect observations. The discovery was made in the core of the quasar OJ287, located about 5 billion light-years from Earth. The research was […]| Techoreon

The Virial Theorem is a top physics principle. This post highlights its importance as a bridge between classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and quantum physics. It also touches on Rudolph Clausius’s foundational contributions, such as defining entropy and his work on thermodynamics laws.| Galileo Unbound

UMass Amherst physicists believe such an explosion could occur within the next decade, potentially "revolutionizing physics and rewriting the history of the universe." Physicists have long thought that black holes end their lives in rare explosions that occur, at most, once every 100,000 years. N| SciTechDaily
Physicists have created a novel detector capable of probing dark matter particles at unprecedentedly low masses. About 80 percent of the universe’s mass is believed to be dark matter, yet the makeup and organization of its particles remain largely unknown, leaving physicists with fundamental ques| SciTechDaily
More than a century ago, scientists pondered how evolution might be driven by mutations caused in part by cosmic rays that bombard Earth after the explosive demise of faraway stars. Yet how cosmic rays move through space has been an … Continue reading → The post Untangling the cosmos appeared first on ASCR Discovery.| ASCR Discovery

Last Wednesday was an important day, probably the most important of the year related to science. I was about to publish another post with a different topic. However, this revelation has marked a new starting point in the discovery of the universe, and I do have to talk about it. Most of you might have … Continue reading "Black holes: the discovery of the year and the decade" The post Black holes: the discovery of the year and the decade appeared first on One-pot Science.| One-pot Science

It sounds like science fiction to say there’s invisible, undetectable stuff all around us, and it doesn’t help that it has the spooky name of dark matter. But there’s plenty of evidence that this material is very real. So what exactly is dark matter? How do we know it’s there? And how are…| New Atlas

A nova is a sudden, short-lived explosion from a compact star not much larger than Earth. The outburst comes from a collapsed star known as a white dwarf, which circles so close to a normal star that a stream of gas flows between them. This gas piles up into a layer on the white dwarf's surface until it reaches a flash point and detonates in a runaway thermonuclear explosion. Astronomers estimate that between 20 and 50 novae occur each year in our galaxy, but despite their power most go undis...| NASA Scientific Visualization Studio
