Using 140,000 distant quasars, astronomers from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey have made the most precise measurement to date of the expanding Universe. The Baryon…
Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, CfA scientists examined 264,283 galaxies and measured the signature of the acoustic waves left behind. Perhaps the…
As the gas cloud, called G2, edges closer to the supermassive black hole Sgr A*, astronomers at Northwestern University are hoping to learn new information…
Researchers have measured the mass of the El Gordo Galaxy Cluster, calculating the cluster’s mass to be as much as 3 million billion times the…
New maps from the Fermi-LAT Collaboration show that the galactic center produces more high-energy gamma rays than can be explained by known sources, suggesting that…
New data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft and Deep Space Network provide the first geophysical measurements of the internal structure of Enceladus, suggesting that it harbors…
Using the Altair adaptive optics system with the Gemini North Telescope, two NOAO astronomers were able to observe the shell of escaping material around the…
By comparing the predictions of state-of-the-art supercomputer simulations with the results of sophisticated statistical analyses of the cosmic background radiation, two independent studies are challenging…
New computer simulations show that the unusually hydrogen-rich apatite crystals observed in many lunar rock samples may not have formed within a water-rich environment, revealing…
By combining many individual images in the ESO archive, this new image shows NGC 1316 and its smaller neighbor NGC 1317. This new image from…
Researchers use the scientific imaging system on board ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft to get the first glimpse of comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko. A little more than four months…
