If the pulsar is confirmed, it could enable more precise measurements of the space-time around the galaxy’s central supermassive black hole ...

Neutron stars were once thought to be the densest objects nature could create—but some physicists believe there’s a step ...

Dark matter is a type of matter that is predicted to make up most of the matter in the universe, yet it is very difficult to ...

However, there's another point in fermionic dark matter's favor. The Gaia spacecraft's map of the Milky Way – the most ...

We often blame our stars for the relationships that do not go as planned. Instead of enriching our lives, some connections ...

Galaxy clusters, the largest structures held together by gravity in the universe, may be far heavier than scientists once ...

Scientists discovered that galaxy clusters are about twice as heavy as previously assumed. The additional mass comes mainly ...

Merger of two neutron stars in the aftermath of a supernova may have been observed for the first time, though questions ...

But however it comes about, that end might be much sooner than we thought. If you ask astrophysicist Heino Falcke, quantum ...

Neutron stars are the crushed remains of massive stars, packed into spheres only a few miles across—but heavier than the Sun. Their density is so extreme that a single teaspoon of neutron-star matter ...

"We studied the last several orbits before the merger, when the entwined magnetic fields undergo rapid and dramatic changes, ...

For the first time, researchers have found what seems to be a cloud of dark matter about 60 million times the mass of the sun in our galactic neighbourhood ...
