Light from Outside Our Galaxy Brighter than Expected
TEHRAN (ANA)- Scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology analyzed new measurements showing that the light emitted by stars outside our galaxy is two to three times brighter than the light from known populations of galaxies, challenging assumptions about the number and environment of stars are in the universe.
Never Seen Minerals Discovered in Asteroid Fell to Earth
TEHRAN (ANA)- An analysis by researchers at University of Alberta of a huge chunk of space rock that fell to Earth in Somalia revealed materials never before seen in nature.
Black Holes in Quantum States Have Surprisingly Weird Masses
TEHRAN (ANA)- A mathematical proof developed by researchers at the University of Queensland on the quantum nature of black holes just might show us how quantum physics and the general theory of relativity can reconcile, at least enough to produce a grand new theory on how the Universe works on cosmic and microcosmic scales.
Scientists Define Edges of Galaxies
TEHRAN (ANA)- Scientists at Stockholm University identified the edges of almost one thousands nearby galaxies, uncovering several fundamental results about how they formed and evolved.
Chang'e-5 Samples Reveal How Volcanism Takes Place on Moon
TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGGCAS) analyzed lunar samples returned by China's Chang'e-5 mission and proposed a new mechanism for how young volcanos took shape on the cooling moon two billion years ago.
Iran Stands among 3 Top States Active in ‘World Space Week’
TEHRAN (ANA)- Iran’s Space Agency announced that the country is standing among the first three states in the world which have actively implemented special plans and held special events during the World Space Week.
Astronomers Map Distances to 56,000 Galaxies, Largest-Ever Catalog
TEHRAN (ANA)- Astronomers have assembled the largest-ever compilation of high-precision galaxy distances, called Cosmicflows-4, University of Hawaii at Manoa confirmed.
A Universal Breakthrough: Iranian Scientists Come Up with Idea about Dark Energy
TEHRAN (ANA) – For the first time in the world, researchers at the physics department of the Islamic Azad University of Iran found a possible source to understand the idea of dark energy.
X-Shaped Radio Galaxies Might Form more Simply than Expected
TEHRAN (ANA)- Astrophysicists, who used new simulations to model the feeding of a supermassive black hole and the organic formation of its jets and accretion disk, found out that in the new condition x-shaped radio galaxies could form more common than previously thought.
