Cosmologists have found a way to double the accuracy of measuring distances to supernova explosions…
Remote Monitoring Could Boost the Use of Nature-Based Solutions to Safeguard Against Natural Hazards
Remote monitoring using airborne devices such as drones or satellites could revolutionise the effectiveness of nature-based solutions (NBS) that protect communities from devastating natural hazards such as floods, storms and landslides, say…
Scientists Link Star-Shredding Event to Origins of Universe’s Highest-Energy Particles
A team of scientists has detected the presence of a high-energy neutrino–a particularly elusive particle–in the wake of a star’s destruction as it is consumed by a black hole. This discovery,…
Binary Stars Are All Around Us, New Map of Solar Neighborhood Shows
The latest star data from the Gaia space observatory has for the first time allowed astronomers to generate a massive 3D atlas of widely separated binary stars within about 3,000 light…
Researchers Get a Look at the Sun’s Dusty Environment
Researchers from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado Boulder are diving into the dusty environment that surrounds the sun–a search that could help to reveal…
Cosmic Flashes Come in All Different Sizes
By studying the site of a spectacular stellar explosion seen in April 2020, a Chalmers-led team of scientists have used four European radio telescopes to confirm that astronomy’s most exciting puzzle is…
