"astronomers"

The explosion, known as AT2021lwx, took place nearly eight billion light years away, when the universe was around six billion years old, and is still being detected by a network of telescopes

Zero Shadow Day is a significant event for astronomers and photographers alike, as it provides a unique opportunity to capture stunning photographs.

The galaxy shines bright from both this intense burst of star formation and the growing supermassive black hole at its centre, the study said

London, May 29 (IANS) An international team of astronomers have detected the signal from the active supermassive black holes of dying galaxies in the early Universe. The appearance of these active supermassive black holes correlates with changes in the host galaxy, suggesting that a black hole could have far reaching effects on the evolution of […]

Daejeon: Astronomers snapped an image of a supermassive black hole for the first time in history. This is the second result of the research team since 2019, when it presented a picture of the M87 black hole. The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) also participated in the research. Scientists said the result is […]

Berlin: Astronomers unveiled the first image of the Supermassive black hole lurking at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy which is four million times more massive than the Sun, terming it a “gentle giant” while announcing the breakthrough on Thursday. The finding, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, greatly improves our understanding of […]

The findings, described in a paper published in the Astronomical Journal, showed a planetary system that comprises a star and at least two gas giant planets, each roughly the size of Saturn and located unusually close to one another.

While astronomers have known that early, massive galaxies turn quiescent, but until now, no one knew why.

The planet, which has four times the diameter of Earth, rotates on its side, making it different from all other planets in the solar system.

Scheduled for launch in the mid-2020s, Roman will be one of NASA's most prolific planet hunters, the US space agency said on Wednesday.

Images released by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration revealed how the black hole, some 55 million light-years away at the centre of galaxy M87 appears in polarised light.

The system resides in the recently discovered Pisces-Eridanus stream, a collection of stars less than 3 per cent the age of our solar system that stretches across one-third of the sky.

Globular clusters are extremely dense stellar systems, which host stars that are closely packed together.

Researchers at University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy (IfA) in the US, have announced the detection of Yarkovsky acceleration on the near-Earth asteroid Apophis.
