Fig. 1: An image of the star cluster Westerlund 1, captured with the Near-InfraRed Camera on NASA’s James Webb’s Space Telescope. The cluster is largely hidden at visible wavelengths by dust clouds, ...

A groundbreaking discovery, recently detailed in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, has unveiled a “mini halo” surrounding one of the most distant galaxy clusters observed to date. This mini halo, ...

A vast cloud of energetic particles surrounding a cluster of galaxies that existed around four billion years after the Big Bang could help scientists discover how the early universe took shape. But ...

The result: The protons and neutrons necessary for the formation of deuterons are released during the decay of very short-lived, highly energetic particle states (so-called resonances) and then bind ...

We’ve created a new way to explore the fundamental constituents of the universe. [Editor’s note: The full, interactive map is available below.] All of nature springs from a handful of components — the ...
