astronomynow.com : Yet another test for general relativity; yet another “A” for Einstein
Einstein’s understanding of gravity, as outlined in his general theory of relativity, predicts that all objects fall at the same rate, regardless of their mass or composition. This theory has passed test...
Event Horizon Telescope
A long standing goal in astrophysics is to directly observe the immediate environment of a black hole with angular resolution comparable to the event horizon.
Realizing this goal would open a new window on the study of general relativity in the strong field regime...
Discovery of gravitational waves by Bicep telescope at south pole could give scientists insights into how universe was born
There is intense speculation among cosmologists that a US team is on the verge of confirming they have detected "primordial gravitational waves" – an echo of the big bang...
Researchers at NASA’s Glenn Research Center and Los Alamos National Laboratory have tested a small prototype of a nuclear-reactor engine design, which could power deep space exploration probes.
The design is based on a Stirling engine, developed in the 19th century that uses hot pressurized gas...
