Active galaxies blast out powerful jets that when pointed straight at Earth are called blazars, the main sources of gamma-ray in the universe.

Last year, astronomers thought they'd seen a gamma ray burst, but another team of astronomers has now found it to be the reflection off a piece of space junk.

Ученые выяснили, что так называемые гамма-лучи "пустого неба", происхождение которых до сих пор не было известно, связаны с галактиками, в которых активно идут... РИА Новости, 16.09.2021

Roughly a century ago, scientists began to realize that some of the radiation we detect in Earths atmosphere is not local in origin.

Matthew Durbin, a nuclear engineering doctoral candidate at Penn State, was recently awarded a first-place prize in the 2021 Innovations in Nuclear Technology R&D Awards for his research paper, “K-Nearest Neighbors Regression for the Discrimination of Gamma Rays and Neutrons in Organic Scintillators.”

This star-forming region of Ophiucus has now revealed more proof that radioactive elements most likely first arrived in the solar system via nearby supernovas

Scientists have obtained the best view so far of the most powerful type of cosmic explosion, which happened this time in our cosmological “backyard.” Using

Relatively very little is known about black holes, one of the most mysterious phenomena in our universe, but physicists now believe we may be able to harness energy from them

As long as the UFO phenomenon has existed there have been those looking to tap into it, shape it, mold it to their wishes, and convince others of their version of the “truth.” This way lies the myriad UFO cults existing out there, which range from the harmless to those that have ended in tragedy. These are some very weird stories of people who have somehow been convinced to believe some very fringe beliefs, often only on the word of one leader who exudes authority and who is respected as be...

TELLTALE STARE: The luminosity of BL Lac observed on January 16, 2021 is about 250% of that seen on Oct 27, 2020, measured in terms of solar luminosity BENGALURU: Indian astronomers have reported one of the strongest flares from a feeding supermassive black hole or blazar called BL Lacertae, some 10 million light-years away. And, the analysis of the flare from this blazar — one of the oldest astronomical objects — can help trace the mass of the black hole and the source of this emission. T...
