JWST observations of galaxy cluster MACS J1149 show gravitational lensing used by CANUCS to study distant low-mass galaxies across a wide range of cosmic time.

Brown dwarfs have fascinated astronomers for decades: too massive to be planets but not massive enough to shine like stars, their origins remain debated. Do they form like stars through gravitational ...

June 17 (UPI) --A chaotic, young star system, located 400 light-years from Earth, has offered astronomers new insights into the planet formation process. Observations of the stellar system Elias 2-27 ...

IMAGE: A sequence of images showing how turbulent forces (the Coriolis Effect and vertical shear) mix up the layers of dust and gas orbiting young stars. Images depict a 2-d slice… Click here for more ...

Cast your mind back four years, and gravitational waves were the talk of the town. On September 14, 2015, the first detection of these ripples in space-time was made by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration, ...

New findings suggest that ordinary sound has negative gravitational mass. This is an Inside Science story. (Inside Science) -- The sound of a sonic boom may produce about the same magnitude of ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. For gravitation, the big lesson from Einstein is the equivalence ...

The study of gravitational dynamics interweaves the classical and quantum realisations of gravity, employing both traditional methods and modern amplitude techniques. At its core, the subject ...

Researchers have succeeded in measuring the gravitational field of a gold sphere, just 2 mm in diameter, using a highly sensitive pendulum - and thus the smallest gravitational force. The experiment ...
