Recent Surveys Reveal Dwarf Galaxies May Not Contain Supermassive Black Holes December 13, 2025
A new study, analyzing over 1,600 galaxies observed with Chandra over two decades, suggests that smaller galaxies do not contain supermassive black holes nearly as often as larger galaxies do.
Is the Big Bang a Myth? Part 2: The Primaeval Atom December 13, 2025
In the early 20th century, after years of effort, Albert Einstein developed his general theory of relativity. This was a massive improvement in our understanding of gravity, giving us a sophisticated view into the inner workings of that fundamental force.
Why Old Moon Dust Looks So Different from the Fresh Stuff December 13, 2025
Tracking down resources on the Moon is a critical process if humanity decides to settle there permanently. However, some of our best resources to do that currently are orbiting satellites who use various wavelengths to scan the Moon and determine what the local environment is made out of. One potential confounding factor in those scans […]
Measuring Radio Leaks from 36,000 Kilometres Up December 13, 2025
Radio astronomers hunting for the faint whispers of the early universe face an unexpected threat from above: satellites designed to be silent are leaking radio noise into space. New research using the Murchison Widefield Array has set the first limits on unintended radio emissions from distant geostationary satellites, revealing that most remain mercifully quiet in […]
Thank The JWST For Confirming The First Runaway Supermassive Black Hole December 12, 2025
Astronomers have been observing the Cosmic Owl for years, wondering if what they were seeing was a long-predicted runaway black hole. Now, 50 years after scientists first predicted the phenomenon, the JWST has provided the clinching evidence.
