While looking over data from the Spitzer Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) and Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer Galactic (MIPSGAL) surveys, volunteers have…
Missed by previous surveys, astronomers using FourStar found 30 red galaxies, which form the earliest known “galaxy city” in the universe, located 10.5 billion light-years…
Images in visible and infrared light taken with the Wide Field Channel of Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys show the Antlia Dwarf galaxy that was…
Using gravitational lensing, a team of scientists believed they have observed dark matter in Abell 520. The dark matter is not behaving as predicted and…
Researchers targeted 42 nearby active galaxies and used data from the European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton satellite and NASA’s Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite to show…
A recent study by researchers at the Kavli Institute for Particle Physics and Cosmology (KIPAC) suggests that for every typical star in our galaxy, there…
New astronomical simulations suggest that the enormous swirls of stars surrounding the NGC 5907 galaxy, located 50 million light-years away, in the constellation Draco, were…
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers have found an intermediate-mass black hole surrounded by a cluster of young, blue stars. This is the first finding…
Using computer simulations, a team of astronomers found that when galaxies collide and form starbursts, the total number of star clusters decreases. Their research shows…
Researchers at UCLA used a Centurion 28 telescope at the Polaris Observatory Association to discover a small companion galaxy to NGC 4449. Named NGC 4449B,…
A research team from Max Planck Institute for Astronomy and another team lead by Michael Rich of UCLA and the Polaris Observer Association has identified…
A new study of the X-shaped radio galaxy NGC 326, which will be published on February 20th in Astrophysics Journal, tries to explain their morphology…
A new study in The Astrophysics Journal, which will be published on February 20th, shows that black hole growth is strongly correlated with nuclear star formation…
Scientists are using powerful lasers to mimic the effects of supernovae, which are helping to reveal how the magnetic fields of galaxies may have been…
Using the 10-meter Keck-11 Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, a team of researchers discovered a dark dwarf galaxy 9.8 billion light-years from Earth. This is…
According to a recently completed statistical study by an international team of astronomers, our galaxy has at least 100 billion planets. Gravitational microlensing was used…
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope made a rare discovery when looking deep into the neighboring Andromeda galaxy. Spotted was a population of rare blue stars in…
