The object in question is a cosmic filament, a thread-like chain of gas that is about 5.5 million light-years in length and ...

A giant rotating filament of the cosmic web may be the largest spinning structure ever seen, and could help reveal how ...

Astronomers observed one of the fastest-spinning objects ever seen in the universe - and it is a neutron star. The researchers, from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), made the observation in ...

Astronomers at the University of Oxford have identified what may be the largest rotating structure ever observed in the ...

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has sparked global curiosity after new footage shows it appearing to spin rapidly. Here are the ...

How fast can a neutron star spin? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as an international team of more than a dozen researchers have identified one of ...

Astronomers found signs that mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is radiating a "heartbeat" pulse of light that repeats ...

It's not science fiction: Scientists have discovered a neutron star that spins faster than any blender humans have ever made. In a recently published study, scientists discovered that the 4U 1820-30 ...

They are entirely feasible and, with sufficient funding, we could build one within months or years! Due to the effect of the Coriolis force on the semicircular canals (three tubes in the inner ear), ...

New research in our Milky Way has revealed a neutron star that rotates around its axis at an extremely high speed. It spins 716 times per second, making it one of the fastest-spinning objects ever ...
