NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope got a rare look at the aftermath of two cosmic collisions — and helped scientists solve a decades-old mystery. Many years ago, scientists saw a dense, bright spot near a ...

This illustration provided by NASA in December 2025 depicts the aftermath of a collision between two massive space rocks orbiting the star Fomalhaut. (NASA, ESA, STScI, Ralf Crawford, Space Telescope ...

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary particles. Researchers expected this transition to change how disordered the ...

New data from particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), an "atom smasher" at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, reveals how the primordial ...

Space is no longer empty. It is getting packed, fast. Indian satellites faced over 1.5 lakh close approach alerts in 2025, highlighting how crowded Earth’s orbit has become. Data from the Indian Space ...

Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated through the twin 2.4-mile-circumference rings of the Relativistic Heavy Ion ...

Around the bright star Fomalhaut, astronomers spotted glowing clouds of debris left behind by colossal collisions between large space rocks. One of these clouds was even mistaken for a planet before ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Supermassive black holes literally don’t add up. Astrophysicists know it takes more time than is mathematically possible for ...
