Per a statement from Hansons Auctioneers and Valuers, which is set to…

Astronomers hope to explain how galaxies like this one can grow magnetic fields that stretch for thousands of light-years — and what affect they have on galactic evolution. Astronomers revealed the complex pattern of magnetic fields in NGC 4631, the “Whale Galaxy,” using measurements made with the Very Large Array. Information about the magnetic fields…

We are beginning to realize how little we know about the universe as we continue to explore it. For example, the number of galaxies in the universe is still unknown, even though the consensus is that there are roughly 200,000 billion galaxies in the known universe.     However, given we’ve only seen a small…

As tensions have grown between Washington and Beijing over the potential visit of House speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, renewed attention has been focused on the U.S. military presence in the South China Sea and the area surrounding the self-governing island claimed by China as part of its territory. Above all, the USS Ronald Reagan—a…

A team of international scientists, including researchers from The Australian National University (ANU), have unveiled the largest number of gravitational waves ever detected. The discoveries will help solve some of the most complex mysteries of the Universe, including the building blocks of matter and the workings of space and time.   The global team’s study,…

According to experts, our Sun is tilted by about 6 degrees compared to the sun’s equator. The reason behind this has remained an astronomical mystery for decades. Now, experts believe they’ve finally found an answer: Planet Nine. Elizabeth Bailey is an astrophysicist and planetary scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. According to…

Some time later this year, the lead ship in a new class of U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will commence its first deployment. The USS Gerald R. Ford, named for the nation’s 38th president, heralds a sea change in American naval power—the first clean-sheet design of a carrier since the USS Nimitz was commissioned in 1975.…

Supacat and MBDA are jointly launching Brimstone HMT Overwatch, a concept demonstrator of a new tactical capability for Light Forces, at ARMY EXPO 2022 on 9 September 2022. The UK high mobility defence vehicle specialist and European missiles group have collaborated to integrate MBDA’s Brimstone precision weapon onto Supacat’s HMT vehicle to equip the Light…

NASA has just released a 4K video tour of Earth’s moon and the footage will make your jaw drop. Even though Earth’s moon can be viewed in unprecedented detail from Earth, NASA has recently released a video filmed in 4k showing off the surface of the moon in unprecedented close-up detail, and the video will…

The weird behavior of a galaxy around a billion light-years away suggests that it might contain one of the most highly anticipated events in modern astronomy. Fluctuations in light from the center of the galaxy SDSS J1430+2303 look suspiciously like a pair of supermassive black holes with a combined mass of around 200 million Suns destined for…
