Using CO (J=1–0) molecular line data obtained from the 13.7-meter millimeter-wave telescope at the Purple Mountain ...

Astronomers have detected one of the darkest objects ever seen at a record cosmic distance—only with the assistance of ...

A global network of telescopes was used to detect the smallest dark object with the lowest mass in space, which was too faint ...

The object was detected by observing how its gravity distorts light behind it. Astronomers have discovered an extremely faint ...

A new study suggests yet another theory for a possible extra planet in our solar system, likely of a size between Mercury and ...

The discovery that black hole growth may not be limited to galactic centers could shed light on the role supermassive black holes, with masses millions or billions of times that of the sun, play in ...

Astronomers have found the most distant and energetic “odd radio circle” ever detected — a massive double-ringed radio structure nearly 10 billion years old. The discovery, made with the help of ...

Scientists have found that a sample of the moon brought to Earth in 1972 by Apollo 17 astronauts contains a ratio of sulfur ...

Astronomers studying a rare Einstein Cross stumbled upon an impossible “fifth image” that shouldn’t exist — and it revealed something extraordinary. Careful analysis showed the strange light pattern ...

Scientists have found out a massive dark matter that is entirely invisible to the naked eye, as per the study in Nature ...

ORCs are vast, faint rings of radio energy that surround galaxies and can be detected only in radio wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are made up of fast-moving, magnetized plasma.

In May 1964, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson were testing how radio waves bounced off balloon satellites developed by Bell ...
