The Milky Way may not always have faced the same direction. New simulations suggest its stellar disc could have swung through ...

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is a fairly large one in our part of the universe. In part, its size is thanks to several minor ...

step forward in the understanding of processes of collision at such scales. It plays an essential part in estimating the energy of the impact which should be necessary, depending on its size, to ...

It's difficult to predict with certainty what will happen when giant stars collide, but new, first-of-their-kind hydrodynamic simulations by the DEMOBLACK team at the University of Padova in Italy ...

Cross-section snapshots of 3D simulations of giant impacts using 30 to 100 million particles, coloured by their material or their internal energy, related to their temperature. CREDIT Jacob Kegerreis, ...

Scientists from the Durham University and University of Glasgow worked together in developing simulations using supercomputers that may explain how the Moon may have formed after a collision between ...

New simulations of two black holes colliding near the speed of light reveal the mysterious physics of what one astrophysicist calls "one of the most violent events you can imagine in the universe." ...
