Researchers from the University of Glasgow's Institute for Gravitational Research are celebrating the publication of a vast new treasure trove of gravitational wave detections, hailed as a milestone marking the coming of age of gravitational astronomy.
Sending a command to Voyager 1 is closer to mailing a letter than placing a phone call. The probe, launched in September 1977, is now roughly 16 billion miles from Earth, heading away from the Sun at roughly 38,000 miles per hour. In November 2026, Voyager 1 will become the first human-made object to pass […]
Superhuman strength + superhuman durability and density.
Strength so great it's its own defense, strength so great it can topple giants.
Say what you will about super strength, but it would make for a good tragic character.
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have joined forces to capture new views of Saturn, revealing the planet in strikingly different ways.
For decades, astronomers wondered why most nearby galaxies are speeding away from the Milky Way instead of being pulled in by its gravity. New simulations reveal the answer: our galaxy sits in a gigantic, flat sheet of matter surrounded by huge empty voids. This hidden structure—dominated by dark matter—balances gravitational forces and lets neighboring galaxies drift outward. The discovery finally explains the puzzling motions of galaxies just beyond our Local Group.
"The big bang wasn’t the start of everything, but it has been impossible to see what came before. Now a new kind of cosmology is lifting the veil on the beginning of time"
