(Nanowerk News) Using asteroseismology, an international research team including CEA, CNRS and the Université Grenoble-Alpes discovered a surprising alignment of the rotation axes of stars in open ...

Rendering of a distant quasar powered by a black hole with the mass of two billion Suns. (Credit: ESO/M. Kornmesser) If any object is more fascinating and terrifying than a black hole, it’s a quasar.

Many binary black holes once were binary star systems. There, two stars, each more massive than our Sun, orbited each other, one after the other exploded as a supernova, and collapsed into black holes ...

Earth's axial precession is a gyroscopic wobble, analogous to a spinning top, causing its axis of rotation to trace a cone over time. The primary cause of Earth's precession is the gravitational ...
