Maunakea, Hawai’i – Astronomers have captured a bizarre image of a supernova, the powerful explosion of a star, whose light was so warped by the gravity of a galaxy that it appears as multiple images ...
A rare gravitationally lensed supernova called SN 2025wny appears in five separate images due to the gravity of two ...
object like a bright quasar hidden behind it. But there has been a persistent mystery for over 20 years: Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts there should be an odd number of images, yet ...
The explosion of the supernova Winny, observed roughly 10 billion light‑years from Earth, may provide new insights into the rate of the universe’s expansion. A gravitational lens is a cosmic ...
A burst of light in the deep sky is doing something it should not be able to do. It looks like one supernova, but it shows up ...
For much of the twentieth century, scientists expected the expanding universe to slow over time. The opposite turned out to be true. Space is stretching faster today than in the past, and the precise ...
A mysterious striped signal from the Crab Pulsar may finally be explained by a delicate balance between plasma effects and ...
