The team, which includes Northwestern University astrophysicists, devised the mathematically driven sequence that lets stargazers drift around a cosmic nursery as shining stars begin to appear. STARFORGE (Star Formation in Gaseous Environments) is the computational foundation with which this gas cloud simulation is able to render the stirring episode, a heavenly event that’s 100 times bigger than previous attempts and replete with vivid colors. Video of STARFORGE: The Anvil of Creation “People have been simulating star formation for a couple decades now, but STARFORGE is a quantum leap...
In today's undergraduate research post, find out how superluminal lasers could soon make gravitational wave detectors tiny fractions of their current size.
Using deep-space imaging from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers has discovered that some peculiar, short-lived phenomena have an even more peculiar home.In a new study, the team including Northwestern University astr
