TEHRAN (ANA)- Astronomers at Ohio State University discovered a black hole with just three times the mass of the sun, making it one of the smallest found to date—and it happens to be the closest known black hole, at just 1,500 light-years from Earth.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Planet-making disks around young stars typically last for five million to 10 million years, researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany reported.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Using the James Webb Space Telescope to look back in time at the early universe, astronomers at Johns Hopkins University discovered a surprise; a cluster of galaxies merging together around a rare red quasar within a massive black hole.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Iranian National Observatory (INO), the largest home-grown scientific facility project, has recorded the first light image of its 3.4m optical telescope, which marks a major achievement.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Scientists at the University of Porto discovered barium in the atmosphere of two exoplanets – the heaviest element ever found- by using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT).
TEHRAN (ANA)- China's Shenzhou-14 astronauts will conduct extravehicular activities (EVAs) for the second time within the next few days, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) announced.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Astronomers have developed a new technique to identify small planets hidden in protoplanetary disks, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics reported.
TEHRAN (ANA)- The largest and most powerful space telescope in Western Asia (Middle East) is located in Iran, the country's National Observatory (INO) confirmed.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Physicists and astronomers studied gamma rays caused by the Sagittarius Dwarf, a small neighboring galaxy of our Milky Way, and found that that all the observed gamma radiation can be explained by millisecond pulsars, and can therefore not be interpreted as a smoking gun signature for the presence of dark matter.
