Cosmic Curiosity Reveals Ghostly Glow Of Dead QuasarNew Haven CT (SPX) Nov 04, 2010 While sorting through hundreds of galaxy images as part of the Galaxy Zoo citizen science project two years ago, Dutch schoolteacher and volunteer astronomer Hanny van Arkel stumbled upon a strange-looking object that baffled professional astronomers. Two years later, a team led by Yale University researchers has discovered that the unique object represents a snapshot in time that reveals surprising clues about the life cycle of black holes. In a new study, the team has confirmed that the un ... read more |
