When black holes collide with neutron stars, all sorts of interesting things happen. And astronomers have recently seen two of them.
A new idea for detecting gravitational waves might allow us to discover planet-mass primordial black holes.
Life could thrive in the atmosphere of warm gas planets, but only if they are seeded by asteroids.
New evidence shows that black holes and galaxies have a significant effect on each other in young galaxies.
A rocky world might not need a star to be habitable. It might just need to orbit a large gas planet.
There is a cloud of debris surrounding our solar system. It’s known as the Oort cloud, and it is the source of most of the comets in our solar system. It was first proposed by Jan Oort, as a way to explain why there were so many long-period comets, and why they can appear from …
