Candels Team Discovers Dusty Galaxies At Ancient Epoch With Hubble Space TelescopeAustin TX (SPX) Oct 10, 2012 Dust is an annoyance in everyday life, but an important building block of stars and planets. As such, astronomers need to understand how cosmic dust forms over time - it's an integral step in figuring out the evolution of galaxies, and the stars and planets within them. To better understand cosmic dust, University of Texas at Austin assistant professor Steven Finkelstein and colleagues are pursuing one of the largest Hubble Space Telescope projects to date, studying dust in thousands of galaxies o ... read more |
