In Amiri’s calculations, Dyson spheres around white dwarfs tend to produce cooler, fainter thermal emission that peaks in the near- to mid-infrared, while M-dwarf cases can radiate more strongly but ...

California stargazers can see the Milky Way without special equipment. Learn when and where to spot our galaxy's bright center.

UT astronomer Keith Hawkins will discuss how astronomers map the stars in our galaxy to understand its formation and evolution across cosmic time.

Gas streams gush into the Milky Way 's center and pile up into thick clouds, but for some reason, those ingredients don't materialize into as many stars as astronomers would expect.
