Researchers announce the discovery of a very peculiar structure in space. Using data from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Herschel Space Observatory, a group of astronomers managed to identify a vast hole in space, located in a region of the Universe that they previously thought should have been filled with a ... |

The traditional methods and tools of breaching through walls and other similar tough surfaces, including drills, jackhammers, sledgehammers, saws or explosives can be put aside now, as there's a new speed and safety champion around. The novel device which can be successfully used for enhanced search-and-rescue o... |

Discovered by NASA's Spitzer and Chandra space telescopes, the black holes are located in distant massive galaxies, representing a large fraction of the population predicted by researchers to exist all over the universe. It is generally believed that an extremely large number of black holes was created after the... |

Internet Explorer, the browser included into the famous operating system Windows, is again brought into spotlights although the folks from the Redmond company didn't do anything for it. Security company Secunia reported a flaw in both Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 that might allow an attacker to ob... |

Black holes are space objects which have an immense gravitational field that cuts off a region of space from the rest of the universe, trapping all matter and radiation that enters that region. They are objects with a gravitational field so powerful that a region of space becomes cut off from the rest of the univers... |

A new astronomical theory could change the established knowledge about our own galaxy and its center. Supermassive black holes are currently thought to exist at the center of most galaxies, including Milky Way. But what if for a second, invisible black holes were to exist at the center of our galaxy, besides the one... |

It's the cosmic equivalent to a suicide and black holes are responsible for it. When unfortunate stars come close to these highly energetic events, they are not only torn apart by the huge gravity black holes produce, they are also pushed to commit suicide.Like flies drawn by fly-paper, stars getting dangerousl... |

A powerful supercomputer was recently used to help astronomers in their quest to find answers to the questions of cosmic evolution. The mathematical equations of black holes were introduced into this supercomputer, which produced the most comprehensive simulation of universal evolution in terms of black holes forma... |

Neutron stars are one of the few ways a star ends its life. They are formed from the remaining of a massive star after it had already exploded into a supernova that condenses into an extremely dense core. They usually have masses 1.35 to about 2.1 times greater than that of our Sun, while being 30,000 to 70,000 ti... |

A new theory based on controversial new calculations says that black holes may not exist, or least not as scientists imagine. It eliminates the existence of the "event horizon" and claims to have solved a paradox in astrophysics.Current models say that black holes are space objects which have an immense gravitationa... |

Most astrophysicists believe that galactic merges are the most important processes that create new galaxies. Two galaxies speeding towards each other eventually collide, giving birth to a supergalaxy, and cosmologists think that's how most galaxies grow, through a complex process of continuous mergers.The Milky... |

Black holes are space objects which have an immense gravitational field that cuts off a region of space from the rest of the universe, trapping all matter and radiation that enters that region. Black holes are thought to form in two ways, as a direct result of the gravitational collapse of a star, or by collisions b... |

A team of astronomers recently discovered the farthest black hole ever, located nearly 13 billion light-years from Earth. It was spotted after it emitted a bright burst of light, as it sucked up nearby gas, heating it and causing it to glow very brightly in what's known as a quasar.Most astronomers seem to agre... |

Black holes have been known to exist in several environments, like in the center of most galaxies, including our own Milky Way, or created by the collapse of individual stars, and even produced after the collision of two galaxies. So far, little was known about another, stranger type of black hole, that lurks in the ... |

Some astronomers used computer simulations to prove that in a galaxy collision, the net momentum carried by the radiation produced by the merger of the two central black holes gives the remnant black hole a large kick in the opposite direction, and that would make it recoil at speed up to ten million miles per hour,... |

A team of astronomers discovered amazing evidence of a brutal disruption in a huge galaxy cluster, a bright arc of ferociously hot gas that extends more than two million light years and must have been produced by one of the most energetic events ever detected.Led by Ralph Kraft of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for ... |

Astronomers were able to identify for the first time a dark object that seems to be a double black hole located around 16,000 light-years away from our solar system, using a new technique called cosmic triangulation.In trigonometry and elementary geometry, triangulation is the process of finding coordinates and dist... |

Astronomers have managed to get a picture of more than a thousand supermassive black holes, a complex image of a crucial time when these monster space objects are growing, and offers clues about the environments in which they occur.This achievement was made employing NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Spitzer... |

Since their discovery, the X rays keep on surprising the scientists with new applications, both related to current life and to the astronomical research. These are the most powerful radiations, able to penetrate the matter and reveal us its intimacy.It started in 1895, when Wilhelm Roentgen was studying the recently ... |
