¿Cómo mueren las galaxias?
El hallazgo de una galaxia distante que se encuentra expulsando ingentes cantidades de gas podría obligar a reconsiderar por qué las grandes galaxias dejan de formar nuevas estrellas. […]
After decades of effort, scientists are finally seeing black holes—or are they?
The observations are already challenging astrophysicists’ assumptions about how black holes form and influence their surroundings. The smaller black holes detected by LIGO and, now, the European gravitational wave detector Virgo in Italy have proved heavier and more varied than […]
The science events to watch for in 2021
Climate change and COVID-19 vaccines are among the themes set to shape research. […]
Astronomers Get Their Wish, and a Cosmic Crisis Gets Worse
We don’t know why the universe appears to be expanding faster than it should. New ultra-precise distance measurements have only intensified the problem. […]
Is lightning striking the Arctic more than ever before?
Team detects a huge increase and says it could be due to climate change, but others can’t confirm the findings. […]
