Scientists had assumed that the ice in space was purely amorphous, but new experiments show it can have a partly crystalline ...
Yet the X-rays kept the same polarization angle throughout this ramping up of energy levels. They reason that this means that the components behind the emissions are somehow connected.
This hidden matter has been mapped using FRBs, intense millisecond-long pulses from galaxies located far away. With the help of 70 FRBs, which included one from 9 billion light years away, the ...
Using NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) spacecraft, astronomers have made detailed observations of a highly magnetic dead star or "magnetar" as it threw a massive tantrum.
