Astronomers detect the most powerful space laser from colliding galaxies 8 billion light-years away, offering rare insights ...

Scientists detect most distant powerful space laser megamaser with MeerKAT, gravitational lensing reveals merging galaxies ...

Astronomers have spotted the most distant and brightest "space laser" ever seen, blasting out from a distant galaxy collision ...

Who knows what the telescope will discover next?

Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered evidence that galaxy mergers matter. When two galaxies move close, gravity can ...

“This is the most sophisticated simulation to do this in the world right now.” ...

Neutron star collision in merging galaxies reveals how cosmic destruction forges heavy elements like gold, offering clues to the universe's chemical evolution. (Nanowerk News) A recently detected ...

An astronomer at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo is using data from the Canada–France–Hawaiʻi Telescope (CFHT) on Maunakea to help reconstruct a slow-motion cosmic collision, one that has been ...

(THE CONVERSATION) Billions of light years away in a remote part of the universe, two neutron stars – the ultradense remnants of dead stars – collided. The catastropic cosmic event sent light and ...

New data confirm that the titanic collisions of galaxies ignite the most powerful active galactic nuclei. Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are phases in which supermassive black holes at the centre of ...

We learned that the stellar collision it came from was likely caused by an even more catastrophic encounter—a merger between two galaxies. This is the first time astronomers associated this type of ...
