Our picture of cosmic evolution could be thrown into doubt by the discovery of a massive galaxy that seems to lack dark matter.

Dark matter, which accounts for around 85% of the matter in the universe, seems to be absent from the galaxy NGC 1277, part of the Perseus Cluster of galaxies. The galaxy, located 240 million light-years from Earth, is the first Milky Way-sized conglomeration of stars, planets, dust and gas found to be missing dark matter.

In three years, the “black hole merger,” a rare astroпomical occurreпce, will take place. A siпgle Ƅlack hole will be created when two extremely large Ƅlack holes meet and merge. Due to the fact that the poiпt of coпʋergeпce will Ƅe visible to telescopes, this enables researchers to more thoroughly examine the characteristics aпd Ƅehavior of Ƅlack holes. Scieпtists aпd aпyoпe who enjoy scieпce are likely to be very interested in this big aпd fasciпatiпg occurrence.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have traced an incredibly bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) back to its source, a violent collision between two neutron stars.

The ring on your finger likely contains atoms forged in neutron star collisions like this, also known as “kilonovas.” That’s because, as well as blasting out long-duration GRBs, kilonovas are believed to be the sites at which the universe’s heaviest elements, which cannot be synthesized in the nuclear furnaces at the heart of stars, are forged.

Our existence doesn’t really make sense. When the Universe was created, matter and a substance called antimatter should have obliterated each other. But that didn’t happen. If scientists can unravel the mysteries of antimatter, it could help us understand why there is life on this planet and possibly on planets elsewhere.

While routinely scanning the sky for the burnt-out remnants of dying stars, scientists stumbled upon a strange cosmic signal. After running a few more tests, they were stunned.

One of their observed stellar corpses, a white dwarf star more than 1,000 light-years from Earth that spins once every 15 minutes, had a peculiar appearance. Its orb-like surface possessed two different elements on either of its sides, weirdly divided like a basketball sliced down the middle.

Astronomers have discovered a new type of stellar object that could change their understanding of extreme celestial bodies in the universe.

Initially, Curtin University doctoral student Tyrone O’Doherty spotted a spinning celestial space object in March 2018. The unfamiliar object released giant bursts of energy and beamed out radiation three times per hour.

In those moments, it became the brightest source of radio waves viewable from Earth through radio telescopes, acting like a celestial lighthouse.

Astronomers have spotted the coldest star-like body on record found to produce emissions at radio wavelengths.

Cooler than a campfire here on Earth and smaller than Jupiter, the faint object called T8 Dwarf WISE J062309.94−045624.6 is an ultra-cool brown dwarf, often referred to as “failed stars” because, despite usually being larger than gas giants, they are still smaller than stars.

Researchers using Chile’s Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array of telescopes (ALMA) may have found a rare “sibling” sharing the same orbit of a Jupiter-like planet about 370 light-years away from Earth in the Centaurus constellation. The newly discovered twin shares the same orbit as PDS 70b around a young star in the  PDS 70 system.
