I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“#New Hubble data suggests there is an ingredient missing from current dark matter theories” This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows the massive galaxy cluster MACSJ 1206. Embedded within the cluster are the distorted images of distant background galaxies, seen as arcs and smeared features. These distortions are caused by the dark matter in the…
“#Research team discovers unique supernova explosion” An image of the “Blue Snowball” planetary nebula taken with the Florida State University Observatory. The supernova LSQ14fmg exploded in a system similar to this, with a central star losing a copious amount of mass through a stellar wind. When the mass loss abruptly stopped, it created a ring…
“#Revealing the secrets of high-energy cosmic particles” Design of the planned P-ONE neutrino telescope in the Pacific Ocean (left). The telescope will have a modular structure and consists of seven identical detector segments (right), the first of which will be installed in 2023/24.

“#Detecting colliding supermassive black holes: The search continues” Artist’s illustration of a supermassive black hole. Credit: NASA/JPL/CALTECH In a new study, researchers have developed an innovative method to detect colliding supermassive black holes. The study has just been published in the Astrophysical Journal and was led by postdoctoral researcher Xingjiang Zhu from the ARC Center…
“#Two new arrays complete detector for Antarctic balloon observatory mission” Two arrays for GUSTO’s 1.4 and 1.9 terahertz channels. Credit: SRON / TU Delft GUSTO is a balloon observatory that will drift in the Earth’s atmosphere for over 75 days at the edge of space at 36 km altitude, simultaneously mapping three types of material…
“#Giant particle accelerator in the sky” Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain The Earth’s magnetic field traps high-energy particles. When the first satellites were launched into space, scientists led by James Van Allen unexpectedly discovered the high-energy particle radiation regions, which were later named after its discoverer: the Van Allen Radiation Belts. Visualized, these look like two…
“#Massive halo finally explains stream of gas swirling around the Milky Way” A view of the gas in the Magellanic System as it would appear in the night sky. The Magellanic Corona covers the entire sky while the Magellanic Stream is seen as gas flowing away from the two dwarf galaxies, the Large and the…
“#Researchers investigate properties of the open cluster Kronberger 60” The vector point diagram VPD of Kronberger 60, from which the highest concentrated area was selected for the study. Credit: Tadross et al., 2020. Using data from ESA’s Gaia satellite, astronomers from the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics in Cairo, Egypt, have explored the…
“#Meteorites show transport of material in early solar system” A section of the Allende meteorite from Mexico. This type of meteorite is made of many smaller particles, or chondrules. They represent the oldest material in the solar system. New analysis of the Allende meteorite shows that material from close to the Sun mixed with material…
“#Sensors of world’s largest digital camera snap first 3,200-megapixel images at SLAC” Crews at SLAC have taken the first 3,200-megapixel images with the complete focal plane of the LSST Camera, the future “eye” of Vera C. Rubin Observatory. They are the largest digital images ever taken in a single shot. One of the first objects…
