Astronomers have measured motions within a remarkable cosmic structure for the first time using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The data show a blast wave and debris from an exploded star moving away from the explosion site and colliding with a Read More …
Astrophysicists have used computer simulations to show that in deep in space, tsunami-like structures may form on much bigger scales than here on Earth, from gas escaping the gravitational pull of a supermassive black hole. In fact, the mysterious environment Read More …
