Globular Clusters News Today

Recent studies and simulations of globular clusters suggest the existence of rare intermediate-mass black holes at their hearts.

Now that several decades have passed since the launch of Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 in 1977, we look back on that time with a hazy sense of history and what the event meant for humanity's ongoing odyssey.

The Golden Records on the Voyager spacecraft are time capsules that explain us to other civilizations. What should updated ones include?

New data from the Gaia space telescope are being called a cosmic "goldmine," including never-seen-before stars, 380 gravity-lensed quasars, and the orbits of over 150,000 asteroids.

The ESA's Gaia star surveyor marks its 10th birthday this December.

Light from the globular cluster Terzan 12 is distorted by gas and dust, casting the image in a reddish hue.

These ''celestial monsters'' are 5000 to 10000 times more massive and five times hotter at their centre than the Sun.

"From the intrinsic evidence of his creation, the Great Architect of the Universe now begins to appear as a pure mathematician." -Sir James Jeans Last time we met, I posed a mystery to you: why are globular clusters the smallest in the Universe?

The cause of Earth’s deepest earthquakes has been a mystery to science for more than a century, but a team of Carnegie scientists may have cracked the case. New research published provides evidence that fluids play a key role in deep-focus earthquakes—which occur between 300 and 700 kilometers below the planet’s surface. The research team includes Carnegie scientists Steven
