The Space Exploration Initiative supports research across and beyond MIT in two microgravity flights this spring.

Gravitatational-wave signals suggest black holes completely devoured their companion neutron stars.

Observations quadruple the number of known radio bursts and reveal two types: one-offs and repeaters.

Regardless of size, all black holes experience similar accretion cycles, a new study finds.

Thanks to an MIT-designed instrument, a NASA mission has produced oxygen on another planet for the first time.

Lesson learned from the CHiPS survey must inform future cluster searches, researchers say.

New image of M87 reveals how it looks in polarized light.

Discovery may offer clues to carbon’s role in planet and star formation.

Findings suggest the first galaxies in the universe were more massive than previously thought.

Results significantly narrow the range of possible places to find the hypothetical dark matter particles.
