X-rays from black holes challenge the particle acceleration model
X-ray emissions from black hole jets are a recent finding. In fact, how the particles accelerate to their high-energy state remains a mystery. Today, a…
Physicists suggest that black holes could have an exit to other places in the universe
Physicists say the matter could probably survive a foray into a black hole. The experts propose to analyze the unique nature of these objects as…
Lightning storms on Jupiter follow a pattern similar to those on Earth
Data from the Juno probe show that Jupiter’s lightning is staggered in the same pattern as terrestrial thunderstorms, despite the difference between the two planets.…
New Research Offers Insights into Fast Radio Bursts
New results published today in The Astrophysical Journal indicate that the source of the interstellar explosion is in a much calmer galactic environment than other…
Astronomers discovered a planetary system of formation of the mysterious ‘super-Earths’
These Super Earths are located just 150 light years from us and would be terrifying A study led by researchers from the University of Liège…
