Intrinsic alignment (IA) of source galaxies represents an important contaminant for upcoming cosmic shear surveys. In particular, it is expected on general grounds that IA contains a B-mode while the weak lensing signal does not. Thus, a detection of B-modes offers the possibility to study directly the IA signal of the sources. Galaxy clusters...
Supernovae-stellar explosions as bright as an entire galaxy-have fascinated us since time immemorial. Yet, there are more hydrogen-poor supernovae than astrophysicists can explain. Now, a new Assistant Professor at the Institute of Science and...
Spaceports are the critical infrastructure that enable access to space, serving as the gateway for launching satellites, spacecraft, and humans into the final frontier. As the commercial space industry continues to grow and evolve,...
The universe is vast, a tapestry of stars, galaxies, and untold numbers of planets. Driven by a profound curiosity, humanity has long asked the question, “Are we alone?” As our technology advances and...
Satellites are more likely to be at risk from high-speed solar wind than a major geomagnetic storm according to a new UK-US study published this week in the Journal Space Weather.
Researchers investigating the space...
In March, a high-speed cylindrical object roughly 0.7 kilograms in mass shot through the roof of a Naples, Florida, home, smashing through a ceiling...
It is impossible to pinpoint a single, static definition of what makes a “Digital Transformer.” Although Matt Dosberg’s official title is Digital Transformation and...
Research indicates that azoles, when combined with osteoporosis drugs known as bisphosphonates, are more effective at treating fungal infections. This combination has shown success...
Despite their ancient ages, some stars orbiting the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole appear deceptively youthful. But unlike humans, who might appear rejuvenated...
A global team of astronomers have created the most sensitive radio image ever of a globular cluster, an ancient ball of tightly-packed stars.
The image...
Researchers at the University of New Hampshire Space Science Center find that "speed bumps" in space, which can slow down satellites orbiting closer to...
