Simulations reveal origins of globular clusters and uncover hybrid star systems
London, UK (SPX) Sep 17, 2025
Scientists have long debated the origins of globular clusters, the universe's ancient and densely packed stellar systems. Now, researchers at the University of Surrey, using advanced simulations, have resolved the centuries-old question and identified an entirely new category of star system.
Globular clusters contain hundreds of thousands to millions of stars orbiting galaxies like the Mil

Ten Years Later, LIGO is a Black-Hole Hunting Machine
Pasadena CA (SPX) Sep 19, 2025
On September 14, 2015, a signal arrived on Earth, carrying information about a pair of remote black holes that had spiraled together and merged. The signal had traveled about 1.3 billion years to reach us at the speed of light - but it was not made of light. It was a different kind of signal: a quivering of space-time called gravitational waves first predicted by Albert Einstein 100 years prior.
