Colossal Hot Cloud Envelopes Colliding Galaxies
April 30, 2013 — Scientists have completed a detailed study of an enormous cloud of hot gas enveloping two large, colliding galaxies. This unusually large reservoir of gas contains as much mass as 10 billion Suns, ... > full story -
Does Antimatter Fall Up or Down? First Direct Evidence of How Atoms of Antimatter Interact With Gravity
April 30, 2013 — The atoms that make up ordinary matter fall down, so do antimatter atoms fall up? Do they experience gravity the same way as ordinary atoms, or is there such a thing as antigravity? Recent results, ... > full story -
Deep, Detailed Image of Distant Universe
April 30, 2013 — Staring at a small patch of sky for more than 50 hours with the ultra-sensitive Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), astronomers have for the first time identified discrete sources that account for ... > full story -
Herschel Completes Its 'Cool' Journey in Space
April 30, 2013 — The Herschel observatory, a European space telescope for which NASA helped build instruments and process data, has stopped making observations after running out of liquid coolant as expected. The ... > full story -
Entire Galaxies Feel the Heat from Newborn Stars: Bursts of Star Birth Can Curtail Future Galaxy Growth
April 25, 2013 — Astronomers have shown for the first time that bursts of star formation have a major impact far beyond the boundaries of their host galaxy. These energetic events can affect galactic gas at distances ... > full story -
New Matter-Antimatter Difference Observed in LHCb Experiment at CERN
April 24, 2013 — Researchers at CERN are reporting the first observation of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the decays of the particle known as the B0s. It is only the fourth subatomic particle known to exhibit such ... > full story -
Scientists Map All Possible Drug-Like Chemical Compounds: Library of Millions of Small, Carbon-Based Molecules Chemists Might Synthesize
April 22, 2013 — Drug developers may have a new tool to search for more effective medications and new materials. It's a computer algorithm that can model and catalog the entire set of lightweight, carbon-containing ... > full story -
Using Black Holes to Measure the Universe's Rate of Expansion
April 22, 2013 — Scientists have developed a method that uses black holes to measure distances of billions of light years with a high degree of accuracy. The ability to measure these distances will allow scientists ... > full story -
Distant Blazar Is a High-Energy Astrophysics Puzzle
April 18, 2013 — Blazars are the brightest of active galactic nuclei, and many emit very high-energy gamma rays. New observations of the blazar known as PKS 1424+240 show that it is the most distant known source of ... > full story -
X-Ray View of a Thousand-Year-Old Cosmic Tapestry
April 17, 2013 — A long Chandra observation reveals the SN 1006 supernova remnant in exquisite detail. By overlapping 10 different pointings of Chandra's field-of-view, astronomers have stitched together a cosmic ... > full story
