NASA’s Chandra Finds Small Galaxies May Buck the Black Hole Trend
NGC 6278 and PGC 039620 are two galaxies from a sample of 1,600 that were searched for the presence of supermassive black holes. These images represent the results of a study that suggests that smaller galaxies do not contain supermassive black holes nearly as often as larger galaxies do. The study analyzed over 1,600 galaxies [...]
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Spies Solar Wind ‘U-Turn’
5 min read NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Spies Solar Wind ‘U-Turn’ Images captured by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe as the spacecraft made its record-breaking closest approach to the Sun in December 2024 have now revealed new details about how solar magnetic fields responsible for space weather escape from the Sun — and how sometimes [...]
