Scientists use distant gamma ray bursts to prove that light maintains its constant speed, reinforcing Einstein's theory.

On 2 July, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope detected an exceptionally bright X-ray source whose brightness varied rapidly during a routine sky survey. Its unusual signal ...

For the first time, scientists have watched high‑energy cosmic rays at work deep inside a thick cloud of gas, not just at its outer surface. Using the High Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC), ...

Deep inside a nearby galaxy cloaked in thick clouds of gas and dust, astronomers have uncovered a surprising treasure trove ...
