For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational ...
Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of ...
A newly detected gravitational wave, GW250114, is giving scientists their clearest look yet at a black hole collision—and a powerful way to test Einstein’s theory of gravity. Its clarity allowed ...
One such mystery, described in a recent paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, concerns circumbinary exoplanets—or rather, the shortage thereof—in the now 6,000+ exoplanets confirmed to date.
Albert Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, but not for relativity—the theory that made him famous. This article ...
Learn why only 14 out of over 6,000 exoplanets orbit two stars, and how Einstein’s general theory of relativity may be to blame.
Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...
Time is a straightforward concept - or is it? The passing of minutes and years isn't as easy to explain as many assume.
The Dark Energy Survey catalogued 669 million galaxies, using 140 million for precise measurements to help understand why the universe's expansion is accelerating rather than slowing down.
