Astronomers making a detailed, multi-telescope study of a nearby galaxy have discovered a magnetic field coiled around the galaxy’s main spiral arm. The discovery, they said, helps explain how ...

Scientists have developed a new computer model to explore the the interstellar medium, in turn generating stunning images ...

A striking new image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy has revealed the strong magnetic field that surrounds it, twisting and turning like a spiral. Subscribe to read this ...

Astronomers have developed a groundbreaking computer simulation to explore, in unprecedented detail, magnetism and turbulence in the interstellar medium (ISM) -- the vast ocean of gas and charged ...

Susan Clark is helping to unravel the mysterious workings of the Milky Way’s magnetic field, a critical missing piece of the galactic puzzle. Amid the roilings of the Milky Way, immense pockets of gas ...

Black holes are known for ferocious gravitational fields. Anything wandering too close, even light, will be swallowed up. But other forces may be at play too. In 2021, astronomers used the Event ...

While ESA's satellite INTEGRAL was observing the sky, it spotted a burst of gamma-rays -- high-energy photons -- coming from the nearby galaxy M82. Only a few hours later, ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray space ...

WASHINGTON, March 27 (Reuters) - Astronomers on Wednesday announced that they have detected a strong and organized magnetic field twisted in a spiral pattern around the Milky Way's supermassive black ...

A view of the center of our galaxy shows the Sagittarius C (Sgr C) region, where cold dust (magenta) and warmer gas and dust (cyan) surround a cluster of massive stars. The stars generate high-speed ...

Astronomers have gotten their best view yet of the magnetic fields around the gargantuan black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Using the Event Horizon Telescope, a global collection of radio ...

Astronomers have discovered powerful "twisted" magnetic fields spiraling around the black hole that sits at the center of the Milky Way, the European Southern Observatory said Wednesday. A new image ...
