Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which originated outside our solar system, has reportedly confirmed one of Albert Einstein's ...

Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarized light subjected to gravitational lensing effects, in addition to cosmic birefringence. On the far left, the white lines show the polarization pattern of the ...

Researchers analyze interstellar object 3I/ATLAS near the Sun to detect gravitational lensing, using ALMA and solar observatories, examining trajectory, non-gravitational acceleration and perihelion ...

The vast majority of matter is dark – invisible until it is detected only through its gravitational effects. The newly discovered object could be a clump of dark matter, or it could also be a compact, ...

Maunakea, Hawai’i – Astronomers have captured a bizarre image of a supernova, the powerful explosion of a star, whose light was so warped by the gravity of a galaxy that it appears as multiple images ...

Future missions will be able to find signatures of violating the parity-symmetry in the cosmic microwave background polarization more accurately after a pair of researchers has managed to take into ...
