Astronomers may have discovered the ancient chemical remnants of the first stars to light up the Universe. Using innovative analysis of a distant quasar observed by the 8.1-meter Gemini North Telescope in Hawai’i, operated by NSF’s NOIRLab, scientists have found an unusual ratio of elements that, according to them, could only have come from the …

Astronomers may have found the chemical traces of one of the first stars – born when the universe was just 100 million years old – which exploded in a “super-supernova”. These early generations starsknown as Population III stars, ended their lives in supernova explosions that seeded the universe with chemical elements that the stars had …

The mysterious emissions of ultrabright gamma rays in the giant bubbles blown by our galaxy may finally have an explanation. The researchers used data from the Gaia and Closed space telescopes to search through the Fermi Bubbles, a pair of colossal hourglass-shaped bubbles that extend from the poles of the Milky Way and span 50,000 …

It was easy (and perhaps even fashionable) to be optimistic about the 2022 Presidents Cup quartets kicking into action on Thursday. Perhaps it was wishful thinking or just a nod of goodwill to those on both sides of the matches who stayed to play this event rather than defecting to LIV Golf. Either way, the …

In 1916, Karl Schwarzchild theorized the existence of black holes as a resolution of Einstein’s field equations for his theory of general relativity. In the mid-twentieth century, astronomers began to detect black holes for the first time using indirect methods, which involved observing their effects on surrounding objects and space. Since the 1980s, scientists have …
