The researchers identify a possible rare triple system in the Kuiper Belt
BYU team measures the thunderous noise of the world’s most powerful rocket, exploring its impact on communities and the environment.
A BYU acoustics team, noted for studying the world's loudest sounds, shares its first-hand account of measuring audio levels during NASA's epic Artemis launch in November.
BYU’s West Mountain Observatory was one of 37 ground-based telescopes throughout the world monitoring the active galaxy that is roughly 1 billion light years away.
When the Saturn V rocket propelled man to the moon in 1969, the blast from the rocket’s engines was tremendous. The monumental event gave rise to widespread claims that the acoustic force of the rocket melted concrete and ignited grass fires miles away. New research from BYU debunks this common myth.
A new study from researchers at BYU and Penn State provides the most accurate estimate of the number of Earth-like planets in the universe.
Nature paper offers insight into supermassive black holes by looking at a galaxy 8 billion light years away.
The temperature of KELT-9b, whose discovery BYU researchers contributed to, is 8,000 degrees Fahrenheit — just shy of the temperature of our sun.

A BYU researcher's targeted sound vibrations can topple individual Lego figurines without touch — and the applications extend far beyond play.

Understanding more about KELT-16b, though it’s “as different from Earth as you could possibly get,” might ultimately give scientists a better understanding of our own planet.
