Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spied dynamic flares of light near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy ... Sun’s magnetic field gathers ...

Over the past decade, scientists have detected a puzzling phenomenon: radio pulses coming from within our Milky Way galaxy that would ... so closely that their magnetic fields interact, emitting ...

This mock galaxy did not contain any stars or clumps of matter, nor did it involve supernovas or magnetic fields. It was just a simple, rotating disk of gas. Then, they let this disk of gas evolve ...

"Have you ever flipped through old photo albums and suddenly found something ... Magnetars are a type of neutron star with incredibly strong magnetic fields — a lot stronger than those of ...

Unpredictable bursts of light are pulsing from the debris surrounding Sagittarius A*, offering new insights into the mysterious behavior of the most massive object in our galaxy Ella Jeffries ...

Its role may be to stiffen the arms of the galaxy and hold them in place. By determining the polarization of incoming radiation radio telescopes have shown how the field is oriented in space By ...
