Northwestern team’s physics-based virtual telescope raises exoplanet sensitivity up to 15-fold in James Webb images Graduate researcher Rodrigo Ferrer-Chavez and his team at Northwestern University’s astronomy department developed a method called “FLIP (Physics-based Learning for Imaging Planets),” which models how…
Astronomy extends far beyond the mystical and philosophical dimensions of the cosmos. It is a scientific discipline rooted in physics, chemistry and maths, underpinning much of our understanding of the universe while driving technological advancement and innovation. Its applications range…
SHAH ALAM: Professor Emerita Tan Sri Dr Mazlan Othman has added another milestone to her distinguished career, following her election as a 2026 Fellow of the International Science Council (ISC). Born on Dec 11, 1951, in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, Mazlan made history as…
The Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian Solar, Stellar & Planetary Sciences (SSP) division research is directed toward understanding star and planet formation and the physical processes in the Sun, stars, planets, and stellar systems. Solar, Stellar, and Planetary Sciences The Center…
Everything you’ve ever seen or experienced on Earth was once a nebulous collection of floating gas and dust. Science is starting to understand how those particles came to take the forms you recognize today, teaching us about Earth’s primordial history…
Scientists have proposed one pathway little red dots can follow as the universe matures based on their analysis of spiral galaxy WISEA J123635.56+621424.2, nicknamed the “Saguaro.” They suggest little red dots may be a temporary phase of highly active supermassive black…
"What's exciting is that we're showing how computation can help overcome limitations of the telescope itself," Bouman continues. "By combining a physical model of the instrument with optimization techniques from machine learning, we have been able to remove starlight much…
The NRL Sungrazer Project has collected more than 5,200 comet discoveries from SOHO's aging coronagraph. A new Kreutz sungrazer candidate filed today shows the program still has fire left — even as a newer instrument quietly takes over the watch. By J.
A hidden jet in Markarian 501 hints at a black hole pair that could merge within a century, but the evidence is still debated. Published November 5, 2026 Two supermassive black holes may be locked in orbit at the heart of the galaxy…
Earth’s formation was a messy process. It all happened about 4.5 billion years ago, in our young chaotic Solar System. Rocky planetesimals were whizzing around in the Solar System back then, and Earth formed as more of these objects collided and…
