This is important for space solar energy, which has greater energy production potential than stationary solar panels on Earth. Stationary solar panels are not the…
Webb could directly test one of the dark matter theories
What is the relationship between galaxies and dark matter? Many, if not all, galaxies are surrounded by a halo of this mysterious, unknown, but ubiquitous…

Astronomers at Steward Observatory have discovered a massive protocluster around a super-luminous quasar.
Such objects, detected at high redshifts, could provide important information about the early phases of the Universe.Astronomers have discovered a new massive protocluster around the…
A collapsor plasma jet can slow a black hole’s rotation until it almost stops.
When black holes appear as stars collapse, they momentarily eject jets of material that literally slow their rotation until it stops completely. Most black holes…
A galaxy with stars that are too old has been discovered in a young universe
For seven years, a team of astronomers searched for rare galaxies in the early universe to estimate their age. They finally succeeded. Data was collected…
