New simulations performed on a NASA supercomputer are providing scientists with the most comprehensive look yet into the maelstrom of interacting magnetic structures around city-sized neutron stars in ...

At the center of the Milky Way, a supermassive black hole hides behind veils of dust, gas, and warped spacetime. Now a strange pulsar, PSR J1745-2900, appears to be circling close enough to feel that ...

Using European and Japanese/NASA X-ray satellites, astronomers have seen Einstein’s predicted distortion of space-time around three neutron stars, and in doing so they have pioneered a groundbreaking ...

China launched its Einstein Probe on Tuesday (Jan. 9), kicking off its mission to observe the X-ray sky. The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) spacecraft will hunt for high-energy light from some of ...
