A new study suggests that explosive events in space have the potential to temporarily switch off the natural shield that protects us from harmful solar radiation. By Katrina Miller On Oct. 9, 2022, ...

Gamma-ray flares from blazars can be accompanied by high-energy neutrino emission. To better understand this phenomenon, an international research team has statistically analyzed 145 bright blazars.

An international team from China and Italy has reported a possible cosmic encore to the landmark 2017 multi-messenger ...

The collision of two lightning-bolts-in-the-making spawned an exceedingly brief but extremely energetic flash of gamma rays. This first-of-its-kind observation may help explain an origin of some of ...

An astounding gamma-ray burst, dubbed GRB 221009A, continues to amaze even though it has been more than a year since it was detected. Scientists from Italy have recently published a study that shows ...

A nearby supernova in 2023 offered astrophysicists an excellent opportunity to test ideas about how these types of explosions boost particles, called cosmic rays, to near light-speed. But surprisingly ...

By analyzing the data from various space observatories and ground-based telescopes, European astronomers have performed a ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveals new clues about a mysterious cosmic explosion that defies expectations.

When faraway stars explode, they send out flashes of energy called gamma-ray bursts that are bright enough that telescopes back on Earth can detect them. Studying these pulses, which can also come ...

A tremendous cosmic explosion 2.4 billion light years away temporarily changed the electric field in Earth’s ionosphere (the electrically-charged upper layer of our atmosphere that helps shield life ...
