For over a decade, a dim but persistent glow near the center of the Milky Way has confused astronomers. This mysterious emission, known as the Galactic Center Excess, glows in high-energy gamma rays ...

The Universe is packed with worlds where sunsets don’t just fade into night, they bend the rules of physics. From double ...

Tantalizing evidence of potential dark matter objects has been detected with the help of the Universe's 'timekeepers'. These pulsars -- neutron stars which rotate and emit lighthouse-like beams of ...

Imagine a star so dense that a teaspoon of its material would weigh as much as Mount Everest, spinning hundreds of times per second while beaming radio waves across the universe. These are pulsars, ...

A new discovery has upended the widely held view that all pulsars are orderly ticking clocks of the universe. A survey done at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico has fortuitously discovered two ...

About 2,600 light-years away, a dead star is sending signals from beyond the grave. Astronomers recently found the strange beacon, which appears to be a pulsar blinking in slow motion — something that ...

This artist's concept shows a pulsar, which is like a lighthouse, as its light appears in regular pulses as it rotates. Pulsars are dense remnants of exploded stars, and are part of a class of objects ...
