Danish astronomer’s decades-long career celebrated with prestigious international award
For the past 40 years, Jørgen Christensen-Dalsgaard has been a pioneer in astrophysics. Now, Aarhus University’s professor has been awarded one of science’s highest honors: the Kavli Prize. He shares the award with Roger Ulrich from UCLA and Conny Aerts from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Pioneers in a new fieldChristensen-Dalsgaard’s research has largely dealt with a […]
Sharper images of black holes can show if they are actually holes
The very first image of a black hole came three years ago. But now, through a major international collaboration, astronomers have presented the first image of a black hole that is much closer to us, in the heart of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Participants: Michael Lindqvist, astronomer at Chalmers and Onsala Space Observatory. Göran […]
RIGHT NOW: The black hole in the middle of the Milky Way was photographed for the first time
A new groundbreaking novelty is expected to be presented today on the black hole in the center of the Milky Way. You must have used the so-called “Event Horizon” telescope to capture the image and can prove very old theories through it. Hear Ekot’s experts comment on the incident in the player above.
Planetary health, shrinking wild salmon stocks and the happiest country in the world: Finland in the World Press
The Snowchange team taught the villagers about the area, its wetland ecosystem and how best to take care of it. The Milky Way wetland was successfully regenerated, creating a safe haven for biodiversity and at the same time transforming the wetland over time from a carbon source to a carbon sink. Prior to the project, […]
Astronomers map out a mysterious element in space, the study reveals
Ytterbium is one of the four elements in the periodic table, named after the Ytterby mine in the Stockholm archipelago. The element was first discovered in black gadolinite, first identified in the Ytterby mine in 1787. Ytterbium is interesting because it can have two different cosmic origins. Scientists believe that one half comes from heavy […]
Even dying stars can give birth to planets, astronomers suggest
The study was published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, where the discovery is described. In the study, astronomers suggested that even if the stars were close to death, some of them could still form planets. If this is confirmed, theories about planet formation will need to be adapted. Planets like Earth and all the other planets […]
Astronomers are collaborating to create a new method for understanding the evolution of galaxies
As a result, a breakthrough study published in the Astrophysical Journal outlines their new method for elucidating star formation in a post-stellar galaxy using its cluster population. The approach uses age and mass estimates of the constellations to determine the intensity and velocity of the stellar eruption that prevented more stars from forming in the […]
How anxious young galaxies grow and mature
Skåne [Sweden], 27 August (ANI): A research group at Lund University in Sweden has succeeded in following the evolution of a galaxy over an interval of 13.8 billion years using a supercomputer simulation. The study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, shows how young and chaotic galaxies mature over time into […]
Astronomers find a break in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way: NASA
This stretches for about 3,000 light-years and is the first large structure with a direction so dramatically different from the arm. NASA said astronomers have a rough idea of the size and shape of the Milky Way’s arms, but much is still unknown. “They can’t see the whole structure of our home galaxy because Earth […]
Volleyball in the swamp, shortcomings in higher education and climate change: Finland in the world press
Suolentis’ annual World Championships have been held since 2006. Foreign teams were not allowed to participate this year due to the COVID-19 situation. A Finnish professor living in the United States sparked a stir earlier this week by publishing an article highlighting the weaknesses of the Finnish higher education system in the American magazine USA […]

71-year-old Spaniard charged with killing bartender
On February 22 last year, 57-year-old British Ian Roy Parkin was stabbed several times with a knife. He died at the hospital of his injuries. It happened late in the evening on the Milky Way at Christiania in Copenhagen. Specifically between the Multimedia House and the Lion House near Café Månefiskeren. On Monday, the trial […]
The solar system stubbornly holds in place
Our galaxy is a big place. Among the many hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way, our solar system does not take up much space. Despite the incredible amount of stars, planets, gas…
Created by a Finnish photographer "unique" Milky Way mosaic
The Milky Way may be about 100,000 light-years (or one quintillion km) wide, but it did not prevent Finnish astrophotography Jukka-Pekka Metsävainio spend 12 years sewing together a unique image of the Earth’s galaxy. The mosaic of Metsävainio – consisting of 234 individual image panels with about 20 million stars – has attracted worldwide media […]
Nobel laureate in physics: “In the beginning, people were skeptical”
Today, the recipients of the Nobel Prize in Physics were announced. This year, it was research into the universe and black holes that was praised. – It is a great honor, of course. I think that black holes are important in our universe, in several ways, says the winner Roger Penrose. Black holes, evidence that […]
Nobel Prize in Physics – for the discovery and description of black holes
Roger Penrose receives the Nobel Prize in Physics for having succeeded in linking the description of black holes with Einstein’s theory of relativity. The other half of the prize goes to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez who discovered a supermassive object in the middle of the Milky Way. Vetenskapsradion’s Camilla Widebeck and Ulrika Björkstén broadcast […]
