An international group of astronomers led by a Harvard Ph.D. student reported their discovery that the Radcliffe Wave — a 9,000 light-year-long gaseous structure in the Milky Way — moves in an ...
The measurements of the oscillation and drift of the Radcliffe Wave presented here offer constraints on the formation of dense star-forming structures within the Milky Way, and the possible origins of ...
A few years ago, astronomers uncovered one of the Milky Way's greatest secrets: an enormous, wave-shaped chain of gaseous clouds in our sun's backyard, giving birth to clusters of stars along the ...
Researchers have discovered a new type of plasma oscillation that behaves unlike anything seen before. These plasma waves can move independently of the plasma’s physical properties, even faster than ...
