Caltech’s Katie Bouman explains how the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration captured the first imager of the Sagittarius A* ...

Researchers have successfully performed the world's first Milky Way simulation that accurately represents more than 100 billion individual stars over the course of 10 thousand years. This feat was ...

Curious Kids is a series for children of all ages. If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer, send it to ...

Researchers combined deep learning with high-resolution physics to create the first Milky Way model that tracks over 100 billion stars individually. Their AI learned how gas behaves after supernovae, ...

Even before its full science operations have begun, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile has already helped astronomers find something remarkable. The observatory's first images, revealed in June, ...

"In order to get such high sensitivity in the mid-infrared, one needs to go to space, as the atmosphere severely messes up ground-based observations at this wavelength." Astronomers have used the ...

Simulating a billion years using previous best-resolution simulations would take almost 36 years of real computing time. The most detailed supercomputer simulation ever of our Milky Way galaxy has ...

Head-on (left) and side-view (right) snapshots of a galactic disk of gas. These snapshots of gas distribution after a supernova explosion were generated by the deep learning surrogate model.

Right now, as a passenger on planet Earth, you’re zooming through space at incredible speeds. But why can't you feel it?

After a year-long renovation, the Michigan Science Center reopened its planetarium Friday, showcasing technology upgrades and ...

An unexplained glow that appears to emanate throughout the Milky Way’s outer regions could be our first hint of what dark matter is made of, but astronomers say it is too early to know for sure. Dark ...
