Giant Black Hole Could Upset Galaxy Evolution Models
November 28, 2012 Astronomers have discovered a black hole that could shake the foundations of current models of galaxy evolution. At 17 billion times the mass of the Sun, its mass is much greater than current models ... > full storyMore: -
Record-Setting X-Ray Jet: X-Rays from Supermassive Black Hole 12.4 Billion Light Years from Earth
November 28, 2012 A jet of X-rays from a supermassive black hole 12.4 billion light years from Earth has been detected. This is the most distant X-ray jet ever observed and gives astronomers a glimpse into the ... > full story -
Biggest Black Hole Blast Discovered: Most Powerful Quasar Outflow Ever Found
November 28, 2012 Astronomers have discovered a quasar with the most energetic outflow ever seen, at least five times more powerful than any that have been observed to date. Quasars are extremely bright galactic ... > full story -
Wormholes from Centuries-Old Art Prints Reveal the History of the 'Worms'
November 20, 2012 A new technique is the first of its kind to use printed art as a "trace fossil" to precisely date insect species and to identify their geographical locations. A biologistsdeveloped the technique and ... > full story -
Hot Gas Bridges Galaxy Cluster Pair
November 20, 2012 Space telescope has made the first conclusive detection of a bridge of hot gas connecting a pair of galaxy clusters across 10 million light-years of intergalactic ... > full story -
Astronomers Pin Down Origins of 'Mile Markers' for Expansion and Acceleration of Universe
November 19, 2012 A study using a unique new instrument on the world's largest optical telescope has revealed the likely origins of especially bright supernovae that astronomers use as easy-to-spot "mile markers" to ... > full story -
Human Brain, Internet, and Cosmology: Similar Laws at Work?
November 19, 2012 The structure of the universe and the laws that govern its growth may be more similar than previously thought to the structure and growth of the human brain and other complex networks, such as the ... > full story -
BaBar Experiment Confirms Time Asymmetry: Time's Quantum Arrow Has a Preferred Direction, New Analysis Shows
November 19, 2012 Digging through nearly 10 years of data from billions of BaBar particle collisions, researchers found that certain particle types change into one another much more often in one way than they do in ... > full story -
Candidate for Most Distant Galaxy Discovered
November 15, 2012 By combining the power of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, Spitzer Space Telescope, and one of nature's own natural "zoom lenses" in space, astronomers have set a new distance record for finding the ... > full story -
Supersymmetry Squeezed as Large Hadron Collider Spots Ultra Rare Particle Decay
November 13, 2012 Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, near Geneva, have spotted one of the rarest particle decays ever seen in nature. The result is very damaging to new theories like the extremely ... > full story
