A team led by astrophysicist Simon Blouin at the University of Victoria has used one of the world’s fastest supercomputers to ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

Astronomers have just identified what appears to be a cosmic anomaly: a faint galaxy with so few visible stars that, according to calculations, as much as 99.9 percent of its mass is dark matter. The ...

Advances in supercomputing have made solving a long‐standing astronomical conundrum possible: How can we explain the changes in the chemical composition at the surface of red giant stars as they ...

In any globular cluster, all its stars formed at the same time, from the same cloud of gas. The Milky Way has more than 150 known globular clusters; these objects are excellent tools for studying, for ...

The discovery of CDG-2 began when a team of astronomers investigated tight groupings of stars called globular clusters, which ...
