Supermassive black holes rarely travel alone. Most large galaxies hide one at the center, and when galaxies collide, the two ...

A closer look at the planets around a star called LHS 1903 may just flip our understanding of how planetary systems form.

New research suggests Einstein's general relativity explains the rarity of planets orbiting two suns. In tight binary systems, relativistic effects cause orbital resonances that destabilize planets, ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

For a single supermassive black hole, extremely strong lensing occurs only when a star lies almost exactly along the line of ...

Researchers at Oxford University and the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) are ...

We often blame our stars for the relationships that do not go as planned. Instead of enriching our lives, some connections ...

Ferris State University student researcher Francisco Vasquez worked with his professor, Dr. Dinesh Shetty, to create new orbital models for binary star systems, four of which have been adopted by the ...

Astronomers have found a new explanation for mysterious cosmic radio pulses. These long-period transients, previously ...

Cosmic radio pulses repeating every few minutes or hours, known as long-period transients, have puzzled astronomers since ...

Perth, Feb 2 The Conversation Cosmic radio pulses repeating every few minutes or hours, known as long-period transients, have ...

General relativity doesn’t just bend light, it can influence planetary orbits enough to wipe out entire systems.
