Does The Milky Way Move Like A Spinning Top? (VIDEO)
An investigation carried out by the astrophysicists questions one of the most interesting findings about the dynamics of the Milky Way in recent years: that the precession, or the wobble in the axis of rotation of the disc warp is incorrect.
Surprisingly Dense Exoplanet Challenges Planet Formation Theories (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)
New detailed observations reveal a young exoplanet, orbiting a young star in the Hyades cluster, that is unusually dense for its size and age. Weighing in at 25 Earth-masses, and slightly smaller than Neptune, this exoplanet’s existence is at odds with the predictions of leading planet formation theories.
Breathtaking Photo Captures Aftermath of Stellar Collision (PHOTOS)
Astronomers have captured a truly incredible image of two stars locked in a fight to the death, producing a stunning, if violent, cosmic masterpiece in the process.
One of the brightest explosions ever seen was actually a giant star EATING its neighbor
The record-setting stellar explosion SN 2006gy was 50 billion times brighter than our sun, with a blast so energetic it baffled the scientific community. Now scientists think they have uncovered what made it so incredibly bright.
Supercomputer Shows ‘Chameleon Theory’ Could Change How We Think About Gravity
Supercomputer simulations of galaxies have shown that Einstein’s theory of General Relativity might not be the only way to explain how gravity works or how galaxies form.
Black Hole Captured In Photograph For The First Time Ever
Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy.
Milky Way Clogged With Trillions Of Tons Of ‘Dirty, Toxic Space Grease,’ Study Finds
The Milky Way is full of grease-like molecules, enough ‘space grease’ for 40 trillion trillion trillion packs of butter, according to a new study that attempted to mimic interstellar dust in a laboratory.
