In February 2016 scientists at the two Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) sites in the US first detected the phenomenon predicted by Einstein, with the signals corresponding to ...

X-ray astronomy is a somewhat neglected corner of the more general field of astronomy. The biggest names in telescopes, like ...

The VLT is a powerful astronomical observatory that captures high-resolution images and spectra of celestial objects, ...

When it comes to laser signals, those issues are a problem. Mars spends two-thirds of the time in the day sky from Earth's perspective, and the Hale Telescope at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory in ...

Evidence of gravitational memory, however, continues to elude telescopes. Even the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO)—which first detected gravitational waves in 2015—has not ...

I began graduate study in 1975, the midpoint of the first 100 years of quantum mechanics, 50 years ago and 50 years after the ...

Even the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO)—which first detected gravitational waves in 2015—has not been able to pick up a memory signal. Fast-forward a decade ...

A large group of students from several schools gathered at the park for Senior Skip Day. Bryan Kohberger's Amazon shopping ...

Opinion High energy neutrinos are the coolest particles in astrophysics. Born in distant cosmic cataclysms, they speed through the universe almost as if it wasn't there. With no charge and a truly ...
