In the leading model of cosmology, most of the universe is invisible: a combined 95% is made of dark matter and dark energy.

"Explore the fascinating world of astrophysics and how galaxy rotation curves give us critical insight into dark matter! In this video, we’ll break down how the rotation speeds of stars and gas within ...

There is a way out of this trap, but it requires a fundamental shift in how NASA thinks about astrophysics procurement. It is time to stop buying hardware and start subscribing to outcomes. It is time ...

In this Python astrophysics tutorial, I walk you through calculating the gravitational field produced by a ring of mass. Using numerical methods and Python libraries, we explore how to compute ...

NASA says both the House and Senate funding levels for WFIRST in their respective spending bills would allow the mission to continue, but the lower amount in the Senate bill could force the mission to ...

Rochester Institute of Technology graduate student Chi Nguyen was selected for a NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship in Astrophysics Research. Nguyen, originally from Vietnam, is a Ph.D. student ...

Dark matter is one of the great unresolved mysteries of the universe. Many scientists are trying to solve the enigma, but ...

The Hubble Space Telescope, star matter, measuring the distance of space — and nearly all of the accomplishments we’ve worked toward in astronomy and astrophysics would not be possible without the ...

A Colorado professor believes astrophysics is steeped in systemic racism and White supremacy. Natalie Gosnell, a professor of physics at Colorado College, wants to take an unorthodox approach to teach ...

The development of ultra-intense lasers delivering the same power as the entire U.S. power grid has enabled the study of cosmic phenomena such as supernovae and black holes in earthbound laboratories.

Focusing on experimental astrophysics and cosmology, Professor Zemcov’s Research Group is involved in several projects in a variety of roles, ranging from technology development to the scientific ...

Pune, Dec 3 (PTI) Two researchers from an astrophysics institute in Pune have discovered one of the most distant spiral galaxies ever observed - a massive, well-formed system that existed when the uni ...
