"This is an ultra-hot Jupiter, and orbits much closer to its star than any other hot Jupiter ever discovered." ...

A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever ...

The merger wasn’t just the biggest ever, but also an event so rare that it challenges existing models for black hole genesis.

In 1919, a total solar eclipse allowed scientists to confirm Einstein’s theory of general relativity by observing how the sun’s gravity bent starlight. This discovery revolutionized physics and made ...

For reference, Pluto’s average distance from the Sun is about 40 AU, so 2023 KQ14 is quite distant. At 23.4 billion miles (37 ...

The Langlands programme has inspired and befuddled mathematicians for more than 50 years. A major advance has now opened up ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is no stranger to making history and breaking records. In 2015 ...

Earth and the entire Milky Way galaxy might be sitting inside an enormous, mysterious void—a giant cosmic hole making our universe expand faster right here than anywhere else. This unusual idea, ...
