The XRISM collaboration has discovered flows of hot gas in the core of the Centaurus Cluster. By comparing state-of-the-art X-ray measurements from the XRISM satellite with numerical simulations, they ...

Scientists suspect lightweight dark matter might ionize hydrogen in the Milky Way’s core. This could also explain the 511-keV x-ray signal.

"These cosmic collisions happened some eight to 12 billion years ago when the universe was in a much more active phase of its evolution. "Our findings take us closer to solving a long-standing ...

Cosmic Collisions launches visitors on a thrilling trip through space and time—well beyond the calm face of the night sky—to explore cosmic collisions, hypersonic impacts that drive the ...

and only on one occasion — the 2017 event — has the merger also been seen by non-gravitational-wave observatories such as telescopes and γ-ray-burst detectors.

Scientists from the University of Tokyo and NEC Corp. noted that cosmic-ray muons readily pass through solid rock, offering obvious advantages for use in car navigation systems and self-driving ...

X-ray-emitting gas, providing key insights into its history. While this halo slowly cools over time, the black hole's jets act like a cosmic furnace, preventing new star formation despite the ...

Here’s how it works. The "cosmic pinwheel" that astronomers feared could one day shower Earth with lethal gamma rays may not be as dangerous as once thought, a new study suggests. At the heart ...
