100 years after, Astronomers carry out the Einstein’s Eclipse experiment at La Silla Observatory in Chile

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the historical experiment which verified Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, a team of astronomers will measure again the deflection of starlight in the vicinity of the Sun’s gravitational field during the July 2 2019 total solar eclipse in Chile !

The Mystery of How Fast Our Universe Is Expanding Grows with New Hubble Data

New measurements from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope confirm that the universe is expanding about 9 percent faster than expected based on its trajectory seen shortly after the Big Bang, astronomers say.

We Just Discovered The Milky Way Isn’t Actually a Flat Disc After All

Apparently our galaxy really likes to boogie. It has, on several occasions, enjoyed a Monster Mash; now it’s been caught doing the Twist. A new study has revealed that the Milky Way isn’t a nice, neat, flat disc – it’s seriously warped around the edg

Most Detailed Observations of Material Orbiting close to a Black Hole – ESO’s GRAVITY instrument confirms black hole status of the Milky Way centre

Most Detailed Observations of Material Orbiting close to a Black Hole – ESO’s GRAVITY instrument confirms black hole status of the Milky Way centre

ESO’s exquisitely sensitive GRAVITY instrument has added further evidence to the long-standing assumption that a supermassive black hole lurks in the centre of the Milky Way. New observations show clumps of gas swirling around at about 30% of the speed of light on a circular orbit just outside its event horizon — the first time material has been observed orbiting close to the point of no return, and the most detailed observations yet of material orbiting this close to a black hole.

Oort clouds around other stars should be visible in the cosmic microwave background

Oort clouds around other stars should be visible in the cosmic microwave background

For decades, scientists have theorized that beyond the edge of the solar system, at a distance of up to 50,000 AU (0.79 ly) from the sun, there lies a massive cloud of icy planetesimals known as the Oort Cloud. Named in honor of Dutch astronomer Jan Oort, this cloud is believed to be where long-term comets originate from. However, to date, no direct evidence has been provided to confirm the Oort Cloud’s existence.
