Mapping the gas web of the Tarantula Nebula
New images of the Tarantula Nebula help us understand how intense star formation at its center impacts the rest of the nebula.
The ongoing search for life on Venus
While a new model finds life is not responsible for Venus’ odd atmospheric chemistry, the aerial biosphere hypothesis is important in the search for life on other worlds.
Does dark matter really exist?
Tweaking the rules of gravity via Modified Newtonian dynamics provides a possible alternative explanation for the behavior of galaxies
Dwarf galaxy reveals new structure in the Local Void
Strange behaviour in an isolated galaxy leads to the discovery of matter in a region of space previously thought to be empty.
Largest known comet from Oort Cloud captured by Hubble
Astronomers capture images of a four billion-year-old relic that fell from the theorized Oort Cloud that encircles our Solar System.
Mysterious death of carbon star
Scientists have observed the mysterious death of a carbon-rich star, which was characterized by the mass ejection of matter into space.
How is spacetime altered by entangled particles?
A new thought experiment explores the interface between quantum mechanics and general relativity using the transfer of information.
Scientists have measured neutrino mass with record-breaking accuracy
Scientists have constrained the mass of neutrinos to less than 1 eV for the first time, breaking an important barrier in neutrino physics.
