The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is celebrating 10 years of cutting-edge gravitational wave science by confirming predictions made by physics luminaries Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Roy Kerr — and potentially revealing a path toward a theory of quantum gravity. LIGO achieved this latest milestone by detecting gravitational waves, or tiny ripples in spacetime. The existence of gravitational waves …

In the 2006 disaster film Poseidon, a luxury cruise ship is capsized by a towering rogue wave, leaving its passengers to fight for survival. While Hollywood often exaggerates, massive and extremely dangerous rogue waves are very real.  These walls of water, often rising more than twice the height of surrounding seas, can strike without warning, swallowing ships whole and crippling …

A bizarre planet-forming disk is full of carbon dioxide in the regions where Earth-like planets could form, fresh observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) show. Usually, such planet-forming disks contain water, but “water is so scarce in this system that it’s barely detectable — a dramatic contrast to what we typically observe,” Jenny Frediani, a doctoral student in …

This illustration of early Earth includes liquid water as well as magma seeping from the planet’s core due to a large impact. Scientists at NASA are investigating the chemistry that might have existed at this time in the planet’s history.

Put them together and you get a remarkable puzzle. Black holes devour stars and interstellar gas. This causes them to grow. But they also turn into quasars, excreting blasts of raw energy back out into space, sparking another cycle of star formation. So which came first? Is a black hole a chicken? Or an egg? “With this latest find, we …

As the whole world knows by now, TS12 is coming out, and as Taylor Swift said herself, it’s called The Life of a Showgirl. Not only do we know the title, the iconic photoshoots in it, and of course, the tracklist. And ever since it was released, everyone has been wondering what each means. Which one is about her boyfriend, …

Written by Michael Allen An international team of astronomers using NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer), has challenged our understanding of what happens to matter in the direct vicinity of a black hole. With IXPE, astronomers can study incoming X-rays and measure the polarization, a property of light that describes the direction of its electric field. The polarization degree is …

1.Today, we all know that an asteroid killed/started the extinction of the dinosaurs. The theory was first proposed in 1980 by Nobel prize laureate physicist Luis Alvarez and his geologist son Walter. They suggested that a massive asteroid impact about 66 million years ago caused sudden climate changes that wiped out most dinosaur species. Evidence for this came from a …
