In a major breakthrough for astronomy, scientists have captured an incredibly detailed image of a powerful jet shooting out from a distant black hole. This was made possible by connecting some of the ...

Meerkats, also known as Stokstaartjes, are charming members of the mongoose family found in the deserts and grasslands of southern Africa, including Namibia's ...

An international team of astronomers has discovered new structural and spectral details of SNR J0450.4−7050, a supernova ...

For the first time, the world's largest network of radio telescopes, EVN, has observed together with South Africa's MeerKAT, the southern hemisphere's most powerful radio telescope.

This is a new chapter for high-resolution radio astronomy, enabling scientists to study the universe in greater detail than ever before.

The object imaged in this joint MeerKAT-EVN observation was a supermassive block hole, designated J0123+3044. This ejected “jets”, that is, streams of high- energy particles, visible only at ...

A meerkat is standing on my head.The olive-green tents and leafy palm trees of Jack's rise up like a shimmering mirage. The solar-powered, exclusive camp is next to a natural watering hole, around ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has teamed up with the MeerKAT radio telescope array to explore how magnetic fields affect star formation at the chaotic center of the Milky Way.

There is a supermassive black hole at the center of nearly every big galaxy—including ours, the Milky Way (it's called Sagittarius A*). Supermassive black holes are the densest objects in the universe ...

Within 5 minutes inside the exhibit, the meerkats started digging holes, Sorensen said. Their underground network now consists of about 20 openings, and the critters constantly deepen and tinker ...

The data from MeerKAT “is really exciting,” Broekgaarden says. “It means the evidence is building up that this humming exists, and these supermassive black holes exist.” ...
