Astronomers observe the brightest supernova on record
Astronomers believe the young Milky Way once swallowed a dwarf galaxy
Astronomers believe they've mapped an important sequence of events that shaped our galaxy 10 billion years ago. In a paper published in Nature Astronomy today, researchers from the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC) share their findings that...
Astronomers Measure Spin of a Black Hole
When a star comes too close to a black hole, the intense gravity of the black hole rips apart the passing object. This process of destruction is known as a tidal disruption event. During such events...
