New method to map the surface of the moon increases accuracy to unprecedented levels

This new method uses a much more direct and precise calculation, it doesn’t rely on a whole set of parameters to be fed into the computer, and it can even calculate the uncertainties and the accuracy.

Compact, massive triple star system detected for the first time

How this unique combination of a binary set of stars and a revolving bigger star can form, is now the focus in a collaboration between two young researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute.

Radio- and microwaves reveal true nature of dark galaxies in the early Universe

Utilizing multiple radio telescopes across the world, a team of astronomers from the Cosmic Dawn Center, have discovered several galaxies in the early Universe that, due to massive amounts of dust, were hidden from our…

Free roaming black hole detected in our galaxy for the first time

Astronomers estimate that there should be 100 million black holes roaming among the 100 billion stars in our galaxy. They are the remnants of supernova explosions that happened throughout the 10 billion years of the…

Black holes helped quenching star formation in the early Universe

While some galaxies form stars at a continuous rate, others die out and lead a more passive life. What made these galaxies stop forming stars at an early age is not well established, not the least because they are so…
