According to Live Scence, the planet’s shadow was first spotted in 2021 in data taken by the European Space Agency’s Gaia ...

In an unprecedented discovery, astronomers have detected a rare exoplanet located at the very edge of the Milky Way galaxy, ...

Using gravitational microlensing, scientists have discovered a rare, large planet at the edge of the Milky Way. The planet is ...

An Irish researcher will join a massive hunt for the enigmatic “ripples in space-time” first predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916. This work is part of the European Space Agency’s €1.74bn ...

From H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine to The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger and "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon, time travel has captured our imagination for centuries.

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

Massive ripples in the very fabric of space and time wash over Earth constantly, although you'd never notice. An astrophysicist is trying a new search for these gravitational waves.

Physicists of the 19th century assumed that space was distinct from time – and two researchers now suspect they were correct to do so. Their conclusion, which comes from considering the ...

Black holes — regions of space-time with extreme curvature — first arose as a concept from solutions to Einstein's field equations suggested by German physicist and astronomer Karl ...

When it comes to space travel, Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is a major inconvenience. With the laws of physics (currently) prohibiting faster-than-light travel, velocities are limited to ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy. A new recipe for gravity could help ...

So, Einstein's theory of relativity is safe around the clock. Well, for now, at least. The upgraded LHC's third and more powerful operating run began in 2022 and is set to conclude next year.
