In a recent study, scientists from Princeton University conducted the first nonlinear study of black hole mimics mergers. The goal is to understand the nature…
Primordial black holes could eject and replace stars
Primordial black holes formed at an early stage in the evolution of the universe. Their enormous gravity can have devastating effects on stellar systems. They…
Explanation of strange “watermelon-shaped” asteroids like Dimorphos and Ceram may finally be solved
A new study has found out why some asteroids have strange watermelon-shaped moons trapped in their orbits, contrary to the predictions of typical asteroid formation…
The bloody “black hole death” of a massive star is the largest and most brilliant event of its kind
Astronomers have discovered a black hole that was involved in a spectacular stellar feast about 9 billion light years away from us. A supermassive black…
Astronomers identify over 1,000 new star cluster candidates
Astronomers identify over 1,000 new star cluster candidates By analyzing images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has…
New discovered star could provide new insights into stellar evolution
A new study published in the Astronomical Journal, led by Assistant Professor of Astronomy Lana Ezzedine and University alumni Jeremy Koukavany with collaborators, reports the…
