Scientists Discover New Class Of Cosmic Objects With Intense Ultraviolet Radiation
1+ hour, 4+ min ago (236+ words) Scientists using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered a new class of objects that behave differently from anything they have seen before. The newly spotted objects give off unusually low-energy X-rays but intense ultraviolet radiation, and scientists believe they could…...
JWST finds Chariklo’s inner ring growing denser while its outer ring fades
7+ hour, 37+ min ago (429+ words) Chariklo’s inner ring is getting denser. Its outer ring is fading. Both changes are happening at the same time — and, for the moment, nobody knows why. The finding matters beyond Chariklo itself. Ring systems around planets had already shown that…...
‘Odd couple’ black holes can find each other in space
2+ day, 14+ hour ago (477+ words) When two black holes find each other in the vastness of space, they can form a binary odd couple—and it’s more common than researchers expected. Scientists think most black holes are born when a star dies and its core…...
A Physicist Ran The Math On Star Trek’s “Picard Maneuver”
2+ day, 3+ hour ago (715+ words) Brazilian physicist’s arXiv paper finds the two-phase warp sequence generates three simultaneous enemy-visible images, not the two depicted in TNG Shields failing, enemy closing fast, Jean-Luc Picard orders the USS Stargazer to punch to warp speed, stop cold near the…...
AI Video Reveals A New Picture Of Black Hole Jets And Challenges Shock Wave Theory
1+ day, 23+ hour ago (635+ words) A new AI-powered reconstruction method has transformed radio observations into a continuous video, revealing unexpected motion inside a distant black hole jet. For decades, astronomers have relied on Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) to study the enormous jets launched by…...
Scientists May Finally Hear The Birth Cries Of The Universe’s First Black Holes
1+ day, 21+ hour ago (775+ words) New gravitational wave observatories could detect ancient black hole mergers and reveal how the first stars shaped the early universe. New generations of gravitational wave detectors could soon detect the hidden remnants of the universe’s first stars, according to a…...
Black Hole Winds Are 100 Times More Powerful Than Astronomers Thought
3+ day, 1+ hour ago (418+ words) Astronomers once thought winds generated by supermassive black holes affected only their host galaxies, but a recent study found that their energy can also reach surrounding galaxies. Winds from a supermassive black hole can carry energy far beyond the galaxy…...
Hubble and Webb Teamed Up on Distant Solar System Bodies and Found Fewer Tiny Ones Than Some Models Predicted
3+ day, 1+ hour ago (840+ words) NASA announced the joint Hubble and Webb results on September 8, alongside two complementary papers published that day in The Astronomical Journal. NASA says it is the first time the two telescopes have been used jointly to study Trans-Neptunian Objects, and…...
Physicist does the math on Star Trek’s “Picard Maneuver”
3+ day, 38+ min ago (426+ words) The trick from Next Generation would be even more effective in real life. Níckolas de Aguiar Alves, a physicist at the Federal University of ABC in Brazil, had first watched Next Generation as a Master’s student. When he got to…...
