NASA Telescopes Find Clues For How Giant Black Holes Formed So Quickly

NASA-(ENEWSPF)- Using data from NASA’s Great Observatories, astronomers have found the best evidence yet for cosmic seeds in the early universe that should grow into supermassive black holes. Researchers combined data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, Hubble Space Telescope, and Spitzer Space Telescope to identify these possible black hole seeds.[Read More…]

Northwestern U: ‘Are We Alone?’ Study Refines Which Exoplanets Are Potentially Habitable

Evanston, IL-(ENEWSPF)- In order to search for life in outer space, astronomers first need to know where to look. A new Northwestern University study will help astronomers narrow down the search. Which exoplanets are truly habitable? The research team is the first to combine 3D climate modeling with atmospheric chemistry[Read More…]
