Radio view of Milky Way gains new detail in southern sky survey
Perth, Australia (SPX) Oct 30, 2025 Astronomers from the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have created the largest low-frequency radio colour image of the Milky Way ever assembled. This spectacular new image captures the Southern Hemisphere view of our Milky Way galaxy, revealing it across a wide range of radio wavelengths, or 'colours' of radio light. It provides astronomers with new ways to explore the birth, evolution, and death of stars in our Galaxy. Silvia Mantovanini, a PhD student at the C ... read more |

Telescope hack opens a sharper view into the universeLos Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 23, 2025 A novel imaging technique used for the first time on a ground-based telescope has helped a UCLA-led team of astronomers to achieve the sharpest-ever measurement of a star's surrounding disk, reveali ... more
Neutrino partnerships bridge Pacific to probe cosmic mysteriesPasadena CA (SPX) Oct 23, 2025 altech researchers co-lead new study refining what we know about the ghostly particles Very early on in our universe, when it was a seething hot cauldron of energy, particles made of matter a ... more
Neutrino flavor shifts may unlock cosmic originsColumbus OH (SPX) Oct 23, 2025 In a new analysis, physicists provide the most precise picture yet of how neutrinos change 'flavor' as they travel through the cosmos. Neutrinos are fundamental particles of the universe, but ... more
4MOST marks first light at ESO's Paranal ObservatoryBerlin, Germany (SPX) Oct 22, 2025 The 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST) has achieved its first light at the European Southern Observatory's Paranal site in Chile, marking a major milestone for one of the world's m ... more
Dark matter returns as leading explanation for galactic gamma ray glowParis, France (SPX) Oct 21, 2025 A new study has reignited the long-running debate over what causes the mysterious gamma-ray glow emanating from the Milky Way's center, suggesting that dark matter may once again be the most plausib ... more |
WVU engineers recalibrate radio telescopes to illuminate dark energy
Morgantown WV (SPX) Oct 21, 2025 Scientists know dark energy makes up about 70% of the universe and is responsible for the universe's accelerating expansion. Beyond that, little about it is certain, so WVU engineer Kevin Bandura is enhancing the calibration of radio telescopes that can tell astronomers about dark energy by measuring the "neutral hydrogen" in the universe, a simple form of hydrogen with no net electric charge. An expert on the design of radio astronomy instruments, Bandura is an associate professor in the Lane Dep ... read more

Most massive stars in the early universe were likely born as binariesParis, France (SPX) Oct 21, 2025 A new study from Tel Aviv University's School of Physics and Astronomy suggests that most massive stars formed in the early universe were born in pairs, echoing patterns seen among massive stars in ... more
Mysterious glow in Milky Way could be evidence of dark matterBaltimore MD (SPX) Oct 17, 2025 Johns Hopkins researchers may have identified what could be a compelling clue in the ongoing hunt to prove the existence of dark matter. A mysterious diffuse glow of gamma rays near the center ... more
White dwarf binaries heated by intense tidal forces evolve faster than predictedTokyo, Japan (SPX) Oct 15, 2025 White dwarfs, the dense remnants of exhausted stars, are usually ancient, dim, and cool. Yet some binary systems containing them defy expectations, glowing tens of thousands of degrees hotter than t ... more
Dark Matter might leave a 'fingerprint' on light, scientists sayYork UK (SPX) Oct 13, 2025 Dark Matter, the substance that makes up most of the Universe, could potentially be detected as a red or blue light 'fingerprint', new research shows. Previously assumed to be invisible, the s ... more
Astronomers find mystery dark object in distant universeLos Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 10, 2025 Using a global network of telescopes, astronomers have detected the lowest-mass dark object yet found in the universe. Finding more such objects and understanding their nature could rule out some th ... more |
