Lightening up dark galaxies
May 30, 2018 (SPX)
One possibility, suggested in recent theoretical models, is that the early phase of galaxy formation involves an epoch when galaxies contain a great amount of g...
Astronomers observe unprecedented detail in pulsar 6,500 light-years from Earth
May 29, 2018 (SPX)

Using a technique called magnetization by light, the researchers magnetized a sample of europium selenide (EuSe) in 50 picoseconds with a 50-watt bulb located a...
APEX takes a glimpse into the heart of darkness
May 29, 2018 (SPX)
The addition of APEX to the so-called Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), which until recently consisted of antennas only in the northern hemisphere, reveals new and...
NASA awards contract for space telescope mission
May 24, 2018 (SPX)
Called the Wide Field Instrument (WFI) Opto-Mechanical Assembly, the cost-plus-award-fee contract has a value of approximately $113.2 million. The period of per...
Astronomers find six dark galaxy candidates -- galaxies with few stars
May 23, 2018 (UPI)
Astronomers are interested in understanding how galaxies form, as well as how stars emerge from the diffuse gas of the intergalactic medium. Dark galaxies promi...
New network is installed to investigate space weather over South America
May 23, 2018 (SPX)
Known for its acronym Embrace MagNet (Embrace Magnetometer Network for South America), the project involves joint efforts from other Latin American institutions...
OPERA Collaboration Presents Its Final Results on Neutrino Oscillations
May 23, 2018 (SPX)

A new map for a birthplace of stars
May 21, 2018 (SPX)
The maps provide unprecedented detail of the structure of the Orion A molecular cloud, the closest star-forming region of high-mass stars. Orion A hosts a varie...
Hubble shows the local universe in ultraviolet
May 18, 2018 (SPX)
Ultraviolet light is a major tracer of the youngest and hottest stars. These stars are short-lived and intensely bright. Astronomers have now finished a survey ...
Astronomers Release Most Complete Ultraviolet-Light Survey of Nearby Galaxies
May 18, 2018 (SPX)
The researchers combined new Hubble observations with archival Hubble images for 50 star-forming spiral and dwarf galaxies in the local universe, offering a lar...
Study confirms link between gamma rays, lightning strikes
May 17, 2018 (UPI)
The Telescope Array is an observatory consisting of 507 scintillation surface detectors spread out across a massive expanse of the Utah desert. Between 2014 and...
A laser from a space ant
May 17, 2018 (SPX)
The extremely rare phenomenon is connected to the death of a star and was discovered in observations made by European Space Agency's (ESA) Herschel space observ...
ALMA finds most-distant oxygen in the universe
May 17, 2018 (SPX)
New observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) reveal the faint, telltale signature of oxygen coming from a galaxy at a record-se...
Stars formed only 250 million years after the Big Bang
May 17, 2018 (SPX)
The discovery shows that stars in the galaxy - called MACS1149-JD1 - formed at an unexpectedly early stage in the age of the Universe and the new observations b...
Space cloud discovery
May 17, 2018 (SPX)
But no one - not with the naked eye or with increasingly powerful modern telescopes - has ever seen what Case Western Reserve University astronomers first obser...
Milky Way's globular cluster binaries detectable by LISA
May 15, 2018 (SPX)
Now, another detector is being built to crack this window wider open. This next-generation observatory, called LISA, is expected to be in space in 2034, and it ...
Telescope bionic ear hears more of the universe
May 15, 2018 (SPX)
The new equipment is a receiver, a 'bionic ear' for the cosmos that catches radio waves and turns them into electrical signals for astronomers to analyse. The A...
