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…
