Astronomers working with the European Space Agency's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile have just announced that a black hole-observing device called GRAVITY is now fully operational and it's has already provided one accurate measurement.
A modeling paper published this week in Geophysical Research Letters offers a simple but fascinating explanation: partial freezing within a subsurface, liquid water ocean.
Astronomers have presented one of the most complete models of matter in the universe and predict hundreds of massive black hole mergers each year observable with the second generation of gravitational wave detectors.
Antimatter is at the heart of one of the great mysteries in modern physics — why our universe has stuff in it.
Earth has a new dance partner, a quasi-moon named 2016 H03.
To find out what's going on around the weirdest star in the galaxy, astronomers are turning to crowdfunding.
On July 4, 2016, NASA's Juno spacecraft will plunge into uncharted territory, entering orbit around the gas giant and passing closer than any spacecraft before. Juno will see Jupiter for what it really is.
Signal was produced by two black holes colliding 1.4 billion light years away.
While some might take the total absence of contact from aliens as a rather bleak sign that our search for extraterrestrial life is all in vain, a new study explains why we shouldn't give up hope just yet – we just need to exercise a little patience.
First mirror image molecule spotted in interstellar space.
If you cast your eyes toward the constellation Cygnus, you'll be looking in the direction of the largest planet yet discovered around a double-star system.
Now, some astronomers are beginning to think that dark matter is actually made up of ancient black holes formed during the first second of our universe's existence.
Remove the singularity and a wormhole appears in the center of a black hole -- but is it traversable?
LISA Pathfinder mission sets record for truest free fall ever achieved with a humanmade object, and paves the way for the LISA space-based, gravitational wave observatory.
Using the upgraded Very Large Array, astronomers have produced a detailed radio map of the upper 100 kilometers of Jupiter
