When you look at the night sky, do you ever wonder what's going on out there? On a clear night with a dark sky, if moonlight doesn't wash it out, sometimes you can see the arc of the Milky Way. The ...
Neutrinos, nearly massless and electrically neutral particles, are abundantly produced in high-energy cosmic events but rarely interact with matter, making detection challenging. Detection relies on ...
The wavelengths of radio light are so large that you can't capture a high-resolution image with a single dish. To capture an ...
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Telescopes around the world have spotted a monster radio jet streaming from a quasar dating back to the first 1 billion years of the universe. At double the width of our ...
Japanese scientists simulated faint 21-centimeter radio waves from the Universe’s “Dark Ages,” offering a potential way to detect dark matter. About 13.8 billion years ago, the Universe emerged in a ...
An artist's depiction shows how brief, bright bursts of radio waves travel through the fog between galaxies, known as the intergalactic medium. Each wavelength allows astronomers to “weigh” the ...
Chile is a hotspot for telescopes peering up into deep space to study structures like stars, black holes, dark matter and galaxies. In the high-altitude desert of northern Chile sits the Atacama Large ...
