Gamma rays, which are packets of electromagnetic energy known as photons, represent the highest energy wavelength in the galaxy’s electromagnetic spectrum. They are typically produced in the ...

In 2018, astronomers took the first-ever picture of a black hole, a fascinating and unprecedented glimpse of an event horizon. And as it turns out, the black hole — dubbed M87* and located some ...

Meta’s current Ray-Bans and its Orion prototype offer a glimpse of the sleek, high-tech glasses we’ve dreamed of, while Apple’s Vision Pro delivers a lot more function but too much bulk.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- After a nearly two-month delay, the Pinellas County Commission voted Tuesday in favor of its share of financing for a new $1.3 billion Tampa Bay Rays ballpark, part of a plan ...

Pinellas County is ready to proceed with a bond sale to help fund a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium, but the team is still unwilling to cover cost overruns, putting the whole deal in jeopardy.

"Our measurements give us a clearer idea of how the innermost centre of the galaxy shines at different wavelengths. Its spectrum is bright at wavelengths around one millimetre, where we can make ...

The 25 ground-based and orbiting telescopes that comprise the EHT saw the outburst as high-energy light called gamma rays. Not only was this the first time M87* had flared since 2010, but the ...

In 2019, the first-ever image of a black hole captured global attention. This impressive achievement by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) unveiled the supermassive black hole at the heart of galaxy ...

Light curve of the gamma-ray flare (bottom) and collection of quasi-simulated images of the M87 jet (top) at various scales obtained in radio and X-ray during the 2018 campaign. The instrument, the ...

Now, the EHT multi-wavelength working group has announced the first-ever observation of a high-energy gamma-ray flare from this relativistic object based on nearly simultaneous spectra of the ...

Led by the EHT multi wavelength working group, a study published in Astronomy and Astrophysics Journal presents the data from the second EHT observational campaign conducted in April 2018, involving ...

The authors report the first observation in over a decade of a high-energy gamma-ray flare (detecting photons up to thousands of billions of times the energy of visible light) from the supermassive ...
