In a remote cave in southern Italy, sealed off for over 130,000 years, scientists have uncovered evidence that could upend long-standing beliefs about how Neanderthals adapted to Ice Age Europe. For decades, researchers argued these extinct humans evolved large, broad noses as a physiological response to frigid, dry climates. A new study challenges that claim at its anatomical core. The …

The James Webb Space Telescope didn’t need much time to show us how wrong we were about the early Universe. Mere weeks after it began observations, it found galaxies in the very early Universe that were far more massive than our theories showed. These confounding images required an explanation. Researchers working with the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) are providing …

The death of a star at the hands of a massive black hole in a galaxy 650 million light-years away has surprised astronomers, for not only taking place outside the center of the galaxy, where massive black holes usually lurk, but also for launching two high-energy outflows months after the star’s destruction. When a star becomes caught in the vice-like …

Buried deep in Greenland’s ice sheet lies a puzzling chemical signature that has sparked intense scientific debate. A sharp spike in platinum concentrations, discovered in an ice core (a cylinder of ice drilled out of ice sheets and glaciers) and …

In May 2019, astronomers picked up something strange in the fabric of spacetime. The LIGO and Virgo detectors recorded a gravitational wave that lasted just one-tenth of a second. The signal, known as GW190521, was unusual straight away because it didn’t look like the normal “chirps” usually produced when two black holes orbit one another before colliding. Instead, it sounded …

Astronomers have long sorted galaxies into types based on their visible structure. Spiral galaxies, like our Milky Way, have a flat disk, winding spiral arms and ongoing star formation. Ellipticals tend toward smooth, featureless ellipsoids with older stellar populations and little cold gas or dust. Some galaxies, known as irregulars, don’t fit neatly into either mold. And some have aspects …
