But do not be too thrilled-- the researchers say it might easily just be a misidentified transmission from us humans.Credit: NASA.A group of Chinese and American researchers put their reputation on the line with a bold claim: that, with many caveats, a recently identified narrowband signal could indicate intelligent extraterrestrial life.The uncommon signal-- captured...
Scientists create “time machine” simulations studying the lifecycle of ancestor galaxy cities. Credit: Scitech Daily.Scientists have produced simulations that directly recreate the complete life cycle of a few of the biggest collections of galaxies observed.Several processes in astrophysics take a very long time, making their evolution tricky to study. A star like our sun...
Credit: techzle.Astronomers believe they have discovered proof for an incredibly powerful nuclear explosion in space-- one so unique that seeing one like it again is extremely unlikely.The explosion appears to have occurred inside an unusual neutron star found 140,000 light-years from Earth called MAXI J0556-- 332. Neutron stars are the remnant cores of bigger...
The radio lobes of Alcyoneus. (Oei et al., arXiv, 2022).Astronomers have just discovered an absolute beast of a galaxyHiding some 3 billion light-years away, Alcyoneus is a giant radio galaxy reaching five megaparsecs into space. That is 16.3 million light-years long and represents the biggest recognized structure of galactic origin.The finding highlights our poor...
The Standard Model of Cosmology defines how the universe came into being according to the perspective of most physicists. Researchers at the University of Bonn have actually currently studied the evolution of galaxies within this model, finding considerable inconsistencies with real observations. The University of St. Andrews in Scotland and Charles University in the...
Our Galaxy galaxy will undoubtedly endure in its present kind of bit longer than some astronomers had believed, a new research study suggests.A view of the Andromeda galaxy, also known as M31, with measurements of the motions of stars within the galaxy. This spiral galaxy is the nearest large neighbor of our Milky Way. (Image...
