The Universe

The telescope consists of a single dish, which has a diameter of around 1,640 feet.

Betelgeuse a nearby red supergiant star which is up to 20 times more massive than our sun.

These planets are roughly the size of Jupiter, however, they are around a hundred times lighter.

The results could have significant implications for space weather prediction, particle physics experiments on Earth and our understanding of the sun's atmosphere.

"Imagine condensing two-thirds of the Milky Way—which has a stellar mass equivalent to 60 billion suns—into a black hole and you have what we measured," said researcher Roberto Saglia.

"It's humbling to realize how small Earth is next to this visitor from another solar system," said Pieter van Dokkum from Yale University.

"Up until now, such a concentration of three supermassive black holes had never been discovered in the universe," Peter Weilbacher, from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam, said.

Hibernation technology may enable mission designers to reduce spacecraft mass by around a third.

A typical gamma ray burst lasting seconds or minutes produces about the same energy as our sun does over the course of its entire multi-billion-year lifecycle.

The center of our galaxy is located around 26,500 light-years away from Earth.

The latest findings could have important implications for our understanding of how massive stars form.

"'Are we alone?' is one of the biggest unanswered questions," said study first author Howard Chen.

There is significant debate among astronomers on just how fast the universe is expanding,

The explosion occurred on the surface of a pulsar around 11,000 light-years away.

Mercury transits take place only around 13 times a century.

The space rock could measure up to 3,248 feet in diameter.

Human's evolved through a series of highly unlikely events—so finding another intelligence like us would be like winning the lottery many times over.

The comet is only the second confirmed interstellar object to have passed through the solar system.

The Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit builds on the designs of spacesuits currently used by astronauts when they conduct spacewalks outside the International Space Station.

"I can't believe we are the only living entity in the universe," Didier Queloz said

Researchers estimate that the explosion lasted for approximately 300,000 years.

"Simulations and movies like these really help us visualize what Einstein meant when he said that gravity warps the fabric of space and time," the creator of the images said.

The building was constructed as a facility to quarantine astronauts and the material they brought back from the moon during the Apollo program.

In 2015, an astrophysicist discovered that the star would undergo irregular dips in brightness over a period of days or weeks.

"We have never seen anything like this in the 24 years we have studied the supermassive black hole," researcher Andrea Ghez said.

Astronomers found a "runaway star," dubbed PG 1610+062, in the outer halo of the Milky Way.

Researchers detected gravitational waves—ripples in space-time—emanating from a cataclysmic event around 900 million light years away.

Dark matter is mysterious substance that appears to make up about 27 percent of the universe's mass.

The exoplanet, dubbed WASP-121b, is located around 900 light-years from Earth.

The three planets are among the smallest and closest exoplanets found to date, according to astronomers.
