Scientists may have solved a cosmic mystery: microquasars, stellar systems consisting of a black hole and a star, could be the source of high-energy cosmic rays hitting the...

We see maximum cloudiness at solar maximum. Just the opposite of the Svensmark hypothesis

Cosmic rays have constantly threatened the Earth with deadly radiation, but the atmosphere reduces their effect; otherwise, all life forms would have long ago been extinct. But one fact remains mysterious about these beams — the speed of their movement.

For the first time, researchers looking at the black hole have spotted a naturally occurring particle accelerator that is speeding up the cosmic rays bombarding our planet.

A distant microquasar, composed of a black hole feeding on a companion star, has jets that create shockwaves. These waves could accelerate the particles found in cosmic rays that bombard Earth.

The Stoney Nakoda Nation have helped create an immersive after-dark experience that will change your perception of the mountains.

Observations of the microquasar SS 433 provide clues to how these small black holes accelerate electrons to produce high-energy jets

NASA needs your help to identify massive explosions in space. The space agency is calling on citizen scientists to become "burst chasers" by joining a project to interpret...

Astronomers studying gamma rays said they have found an unexplained activity just outside of our galaxy.

The Peregrine and Nova-C landers are due to carry out valuable science at two diverse lunar locations.
