The universe is haunted by "cosmic ghosts" called neutrinos, which seem to be the "whispers" of stars that died in supernova ...

Researchers confirm the universe's expansion is still accelerating, challenging previous claims of dark energy weakening and halting this growth.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new Type II supernova. The newly detected supernova, named SN Eos, exploded when the universe was ...

The expansion of the universe is still accelerating under the influence of dark energy, despite recent claims to the contrary.

A new AI-powered framework could transform how astronomers measure the expansion of the Universe. By analyzing images of Type Ia supernovae and modeling their environments in unprecedented detail, ...

A unified solution: Comprehensive models The new study tackles this problem by modeling everything at once: supernova explosions, the galaxies that host them, the dust that dims and reddens their ...

Physicists have not yet watched a black hole literally blow itself apart, but they are closing in on the conditions where such an event might finally be seen. At the same time, telescopes are catching ...

The James Webb Space Telescope is weighing in on a longstanding debate over why we don’t see more of the most massive red supergiant stars go supernova. NASA/ESA/CSA/Northrop Grumman In recent years, ...

Artist’s conception of a magnetar surrounded by an accretion disk that is wobbling, or precessing, because of the effects of general relativity. Some models of magnetars suggest that high-speed jets ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Jaspreet Singh Randhawa, a Mississippi State assistant professor of physics, has received a prestigious CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation to support a $700,000 ...
