A new view of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way obtained by the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration revealing its magnetic field structure suggests that the processes by which black holes feed and eject jets into their surroundings may be universal among black holes despite vast differences in size and mass.
The observations will help astronomers refine their theories about the processes involved in planet formation and shed light on what our sun did when it was very young.
The goal of the six-day simulation, called Imagination 1, was to explore the value of art in space exploration and produce creative works inspired by the limitations and possibilities of life and culture beyond Earth.
A University of Arizona-led study shines a spotlight on sulfur, a chemical element that, while all familiar, has proved surprisingly resistant to scientific efforts in probing its role in the origin of life.
Under the leadership of the University of Arizona's Dani Mendoza DellaGiustina, the former OSIRIS-REx spacecraft sets off on a journey to study asteroid Apophis and take advantage of the asteroid's 2029 flyby of Earth.
From delivering a historic asteroid sample to setting a university record in Fulbright Scholars, the University of Arizona celebrated several newsmaking events in 2023.
For the fifth consecutive year, the university is ranked among the nation's top 20 public research universities, according to the National Science Foundation.
Members of the public helped the University of Arizona's Catalina Sky Survey spot a previously unknown near-Earth asteroid on its orbit around the sun.
A University of Arizona team tracked down a contested piece of space junk that crashed onto the moon. Their findings shed light on why it left not one but two craters.
NASA extended the University of Arizona-led OSIRIS-REx mission, which has since been renamed OSIRIS-APEX. The spacecraft will study another potentially hazardous, near-Earth asteroid named Apophis.
