LHAASO has uncovered that micro-quasars, black holes feeding on companion stars, are powerful PeV particle accelerators. Their jets produce ultra-high-energy gamma rays and protons that exceed ...
In May 2021, an unusually high flux of cosmic rays bombarded Earth. According to a team of astrophysicists from the Raman Research Institute in Bengaluru and the University of Florida in the United ...
Neutrino astronomy has emerged as a pillar of high-energy astrophysics following the discovery of a diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux by IceCube. The ...
Although this spiral galaxy appears unremarkable from afar, NGC 7456 is bursting with newborn stars and glowing gas, providing researchers with insight into galactic evolution. Hubble’s image of NGC ...
A space and radiation expert is disagreeing with Airbus’ recent explanation of a flight incident that left at least 15 people injured back in October. On Oct. 30, a JetBlue Airbus A320 aircraft ...
A recent passenger flight of a JetBlue-operated Airbus A320 experienced an unexplained drop in altitude, injuring 15 passengers onboard. The company says solar radiation caused the equipment ...
