Astronomers have long struggled to understand how supermassive black holes could have formed in the early universe. They know these cosmic goliaths would have needed to grow extremely fast to achieve their supermassive status so quickly (within about 1 billion years of the Big Bang). But exactly where they...
The blast in question was a supernova – an astronomical event, which occurs during the last stages in the life of a massive star. The peak of luminosity of a supernova can be compared with that of an entire galaxy. NASA captured a stunning stellar explosion, which was five billion...
As the calendar flips to the spookiest month of the year, Canadians are set to see a gorgeous moon to mark the occasion. The first full moon of the month will happen on October 1, and it’s called a Harvest Moon. The month of October has two full moons this year...
Independent weather researcher Mila Zinkova is raising the question of whether the aurora borealis played a role in the events that led to the sinking of the Titanic. In her paper published in the journal Weather, Zinkova suggests it is possible that the aurora borealis interfered with navigational systems,...
Chilean researchers have rediscovered a species of frog last seen more than 80 years ago, prompting new calls for the conservation of its habitat in the far-flung Chilean desert. Scientists relocated the diminutive Hall’s water frog, named for the American researcher and collector Frank Gregory Hall who discovered the species...
