An ambitious project to map the density of every object in the cosmos has yielded a few surprises, and may help lead to new ...
If you've ever taken an introductory astronomy class, you've probably seen the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram. This graph ...
The gravitational lens system JVAS B1938+666. The black ring and central dot show an infrared image of a distant galaxy distorted by gravitational lensing. The orange emission shows radio waves from ...
The far future of the universe may be less remote than older calculations suggested. If Hawking-like radiation is not limited to black holes but also affects dense stellar remnants, then the ...
In the European Physical Journal Plus, Rafelski and two colleagues mathematically demonstrated that the existence of CUDOs (compact ultra dense objects) do not have dark matter, but are filled with ...
Astronomers suspect that in the first second after the universe formed, the very first black holes also formed. These tiny though profoundly dense objects — think of an atom-sized particle wielding ...
Black holes aren't evil. But they are fantastically weird, gravitationally powerful places. And astronomers suspect there are some 100 million of these objects — realms so dense that not even light ...
