Intense Heat Killed The Universe's Would-Be Galaxies Durham, UK (SPX) Jul 02, 2009 
Our Milky Way galaxy only survived because it was already immersed in a large clump of dark matter which trapped gases inside it, scientists led by Durham University's Institute for Computational Cosmology (ICC) found. The research, to be presented at an international conference, also forms a core part of a new ICC movie charting the evolution of the Milky Way to be shown at the Royal ... read moreLargest Map Of Cold Dust Released 
Paris, France (SPX) Jul 02, 2009Astronomers have unveiled an unprecedented new atlas of the inner regions of the Milky Way, our home galaxy, peppered with thousands of previously undiscovered dense knots of cold cosmic dust - the potential birthplaces of new stars. Made using observations from the APEX telescope in Chile, this survey is the largest map of cold dust so far, and will prove an invaluable map for observation ... more

The "Invisible Universe" Exhibition/Symposium
Paris, France (SPX) Jun 29, 2009At the dawn of this twenty-first century, cosmology is at a crossroads: 95% of the universe eludes observations. To evoke the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy the Laboratoire Univers et Theorie-LUTH (Observatoire de Paris-CNRS) marks the World Year of Astronomy with a series of events from June 29 to July 10 at the UNESCO Palace in Paris. Gathered at the initiative of LUTH's ... more Galaxies Coming Of Age In Cosmic Blobs 
Boston MA (SPX) Jun 25, 2009The "coming of age" of galaxies and black holes has been pinpointed, thanks to new data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes. This discovery helps resolve the true nature of gigantic blobs of gas observed around very young galaxies. About a decade ago, astronomers discovered immense reservoirs of hydrogen gas - which they named "blobs" - while conducting surveys of ... more European Satellites Probe A New Magnetar 
Washington DC (SPX) Jun 19, 2009On Aug. 22, 2008, NASA's Swift satellite reported multiple blasts of radiation from a rare object known as a soft gamma repeater, or SGR. Now, astronomers report an in-depth study of these eruptions using the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton and International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) satellites. The object, designated SGR 0501+4516, was the first of its type ... more Giant Eruption Reveals 'Dead' Star 
Paris, France (ESA) Jun 18, 2009An enormous eruption has found its way to Earth after travelling for many thousands of years across space. Studying this blast with ESA's XMM-Newton and Integral space observatories, astronomers have discovered a dead star belonging to a rare group: the magnetars. X-Rays from the giant outburst arrived on Earth on 22 August 2008, and triggered an automatic sensor on the NASA-led ... more |

Powerful Lasers Help Probe Massive Galaxies Of The Early Universe
Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 11, 2009Astronomers have presented high-resolution images of galaxies that were already old when the Universe was only 20 percent of its present age. The report was presented by Dr. Alan Stockton of the Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii at Manoa, in a press conference at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Pasadena, California, and includes work done with Dr. Gabriela Canalizo ... more Red Giant Star Betelgeuse Is Mysteriously Shrinking 
Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 11, 2009The red supergiant star Betelgeuse, the bright reddish star in the constellation Orion, has steadily shrunk over the past 15 years, according to University of California, Berkeley, researchers. Long-term monitoring by UC Berkeley’s Infrared Spatial Interferometer (ISI) on the top of Mt. Wilson in Southern California shows that Betelgeuse (bet’ el juz), which is so big that in our solar system ... more Birth Of A Star Predicted 
Madrid, Spain (SPX) Jun 11, 2009The astrophysicist Joao Alves, director of the Calar Alto Observatory in Almeria, and his colleague Andreas Burkert, from the German observatory in the University of Munich, believe that "the inevitable future of the starless cloud Barnard 68" is to collapse and give rise to a new star, according to an article which has been published recently in The Astrophysical Journal. Barnard 68 (B68) ... more Discovery Of New Tidal Debris From Colliding Galaxies 
Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 11, 2009Astronomers have announced that they have discovered new tidal debris stripped away from colliding galaxies. The research was presented during a press conference at the 214th American Astronomical Society meeting in Pasadena, California, by Drs. Jin Koda at Stony Brook University, Long Island, New York; Nick Scoville of the California Institute of Technology; Yoshiaki Taniguchi of Ehime ... more |
