A massive outburst caused by a black hole inside our own galaxy was recently reconstructed by experts with an international team. They say that the ultradense object released two massive gas clouds following a cataclysmic event that occurred in the binary system H1743–322.
The NASA HEAO-1 spacecraft was the fi... |

Investigators at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Haystack Observatory announce that they were able to obtain new evidence on how massive stars, several hundred times the mass of our Sun, form. Though they only live for short periods of time, when considering the universal frame of reference, these sta... |

Between Wednesday, November 18, and Thursday, November 19, more than 35 radio telescopes around the world will take part in the largest effort ever of creating a sky grid. This system of reference will allow astronomers to better detect the position of various celestial objects, relative to the position of the Earth.... |

Massive stars are giants several hundred times the mass of our Sun, which have the ability to form neutron stars and black holes at the end of their burning cycle. They are a rare occurrence in the Universe, so the processes involved in their birth sequences have been very little understood until now. With the help o... |

The brightest galaxies that the Fermi Space Telescope sees are the most active in terms of radio emissions, but, at times, the observatory alone is not capable of peering very deep into the stellar formations. When lots of data gather, and a better tool is needed, experts turn to the world's largest radio observ... |
