Neutron stars are the ultra dense cores of massive stars that run out of fuel, collapse and undergo a supernova explosion. The very central region of the star – the core – collapses, crushing together every proton and electron into Read More …
The black holes are region in space-time with such a high gravitational potential thateven the light cannot escape. The gravitational field of a black hole is so strong that the escape velocity needed is greater than the speed of light. Read More …
As every 11th of February AHEAD2020 is joining the celebrations of the International Day of Girls and Women in Science with the aim of showing the contributions of women to science and in particular to the field of astronomy and Read More …
Gravitational waves are invisible (yet incredibly fast) ripples in the otherwise tough, stiff fabric of spacetime. Gravitational waves travel at the speed of light and squeeze and stretch anything in their path as they pass by. Gravitational waves are fundamentally Read More …
