Hubble reveals cosmic Bat Shadow in the Serpent's Tail
Nov 01, 2018 (SPX)
The Serpens Nebula, located in the tail of the Serpent (Serpens Cauda) about 1300 light-years away, is a reflection nebula that owes most of its sheen to the li...
Artificial intelligence bot trained to recognize galaxies
Nov 01, 2018 (SPX)
The result is an AI bot named ClaRAN that scans images taken by radio telescopes. Its job is to spot radio galaxies - galaxies that emit powerful radio jets fro...
Galactic ghosts: Gaia uncovers major event in the formation of the Milky Way
Nov 01, 2018 (ESA)
Instead of forming alone, our Galaxy merged with another large galaxy early in its life, around 10 billion years ago. The evidence is littered across the sky al...
Synchronized telescope dance puts limits on mysterious flashes in the sky
Oct 31, 2018 (SPX)
The Curtin University-led Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) and CSIRO's Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescopes were searching the sky for fast radio bursts,...
First results from lucky spectroscopy, an equivalent technique to lucky imaging
Oct 31, 2018 (SPX)
As a result, their multiplicity fraction, both visual and spectroscopic, is close to one. This characteristic can be a blessing, allowing for the measurement of...
Scientists refine the search for dark matter
Oct 30, 2018 (SPX)
At the CERN research facility, a long series of experiments is underway on protons colliding in the LHC accelerator at almost the speed of light. The amount of ...
Astronomers witness slow death of nearby galaxy
Oct 30, 2018 (SPX)
The new peer-reviewed study of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), which is a tiny fraction of the size and mass of the Milky Way galaxy, uses images taken with C...
Sci-Fi inspired tractor beam helps researchers boldly go where none have gone before
Oct 30, 2018 (SPX)
The discovery is opening the way for new quantum experiments that may lead to new secure communications or advanced sensing technologies. University of Adelaide...
Large millimeter telescope observes powerful molecular wind in an active spiral galaxy
Oct 30, 2018 (SPX)
The research team includes Min S. Yun, a professor of astronomy at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and colleagues from Mexico's Instituto Nacional de A...
Hubble Space Telescope returns to science operations
Oct 29, 2018 (SPX)
A gyro is a device that measures the speed at which the spacecraft is turning, which is necessary to help Hubble turn and lock on to new targets. One of Hubble'...
U-M astronomers confirm collision between two Milky Way satellite galaxies
Oct 26, 2018 (SPX)
These clouds of stars are satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, called the Small Magellanic Cloud and the Large Magellanic Cloud, or SMC and LMC. Using the newly...
Borexino experiment: analysis of ten years of neutrino signals
Oct 26, 2018 (SPX)
According to the standard solar model, around 99 percent of the Sun's energy stems from a sequence of fusion processes in which hydrogen is converted to helium....
Italy and Australia to join forces on world's largest telescope
Oct 26, 2018 (SPX)
The Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) and the Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) will work...
The pirate of the southern skies
Oct 25, 2018 (SPX)
The image was captured as part of the ESO Cosmic Gems Programme, which makes use of the rare occasions when observing conditions are not suitable for gathering ...
VLBA returning to NRAO, getting technical upgrade
Oct 25, 2018 (SPX)
When a new cooperative agreement between the NSF and Associated Universities, Inc., (AUI) for managing the NRAO took effect in 2016, the VLBA exited NRAO and be...
Russian physicists observe dark matter forming droplets
Oct 24, 2018 (SPX)
Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that does not emit electromagnetic radiation. This property hinders dark matter searches and makes it hard even to ...
Super-slow pulsar challenges theory
Oct 24, 2018 (SPX)
The researchers, including astronomers at the University of Manchester, ASTRON and the University of Amsterdam, carried out their observations with the LOFAR te...
Study provides new insight into why galaxies stop forming stars
Oct 24, 2018 (SPX)
It has long been known that when a galaxy falls into a cluster, star formation is fairly rapidly shut off in a process known as "quenching." What actually cause...
Hubble moving closer to normal science operations
Oct 23, 2018 (SPX)
A gyro is a device that measures the speed at which the spacecraft is turning, and is needed to help Hubble turn and lock on to new targets. A wheel inside the ...
Superflares from young red dwarf stars imperil planets
Oct 22, 2018 (SPX)
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is observing such stars through a large program called HAZMAT - Habitable Zones and M dwarf Activity across Time. "M dwarf" is the...
