Research: Short gamma-ray bursts traced farther into distant universe
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Astronomers have developed the most extensive inventory to date of the galaxies where short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) originate. Using several highly sensitive instruments and sophisticated galaxy modeling, the researchers pinpointed the galactic homes of 84 SGRBs and probed the characteristi

Hubble findings may provide insights into formation of Universe
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 10 (ANI): Stars are the machines that sculpt the universe, yet scientists don't fully know how they form. To understand the frenzied 'baby boom' of star birth that occurred early in the universe's history, researchers turned to the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satelli
