The NASA/ESA Hubble Space
Telescope has taken a
picture of the barred spiral
galaxy NGC 1073, which is
found in the constellation
of Cetus (The Sea Monster).

Hubble Zooms in on a Magnified Galaxy
Astronomers aimed Hubble at
one of the most striking
examples of gravitational
lensing, a nearly 90-degree
arc of light in the galaxy
cluster RCS2 032727-132623.
Hubble's view of the distant

Most Distant Dwarf Galaxy Detected
Scientists have long
struggled to detect the dim
dwarf galaxies that orbit
our own galaxy. So it came
as a surprise on Jan. 18
when a team of astronomers
using Keck II telescope's

Calculating What's in the Universe from the Biggest Color 3-D Map
Astronomers have used visual
data from nearly a million
luminous galaxies for the
most accurate calculation
yet of how matter clumps
together in the universe. By

The Wild Early Lives of Today's Most Massive Galaxies: Dramatic Star Formation Cut Short by Black Holes
January 25, 2012 — Astronomers have found the strongest link so far between the most powerful bursts of star formation in the early Universe, and the most massive galaxies found today. The galaxies, flowering with ... > full story -
Planck Space Telescope Warms Up as Planned
January 18, 2012 — The High Frequency Instrument aboard the Planck space telescope has completed its survey of the remnant light from the Big Bang explosion that created our universe. The sensor ran out of coolant on ... > full story -
Scientists Predict the Next Big Thing in Particle Physics: Supersymmetry
January 11, 2012 — A better understanding of the universe will be the outgrowth of the discovery of the Higgs boson, according to a team of researchers. The team predicts the discovery will lead to supersymmetry or ... > full story -
How Star-Forming Galaxies Evolve Into 'Red and Dead' Elliptical Galaxies
January 11, 2012 — Astronomers using the partially completed ALMA observatory have found compelling evidence for how star-forming galaxies evolve into 'red and dead' elliptical galaxies, catching a large group of ... > full story -
NASA's Hubble Breaks New Ground With Distant Supernova Discovery
January 11, 2012 — NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has looked deep into the distant universe and detected the feeble glow of a star that exploded more than 9 billion years ago. The sighting is the first finding of an ... > full story -
El Gordo: A 'Fat' Distant Galaxy Cluster
January 10, 2012 — An extremely hot, massive young galaxy cluster is the largest ever seen in the distant universe. The newly discovered galaxy cluster has been nicknamed El Gordo -- the "big" or "fat one" in Spanish. ... > full story -
When Galaxy Clusters Collide: Collision Could Help Astronomers Better Understand 'Dark Matter'
January 10, 2012 — The collision of two clusters of galaxies 5 billion light years away could help astronomers better understand "dark matter," the invisible stuff that makes up a big chunk of our ... > full story -
Farthest Developing Galaxy Cluster Ever Found
January 10, 2012 — NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered a cluster of galaxies in the initial stages of construction — the most distant such grouping ever observed in the early universe. In a random sky ... > full story -
Clearest Picture Yet of Dark Matter Points the Way to Better Understanding of Dark Energy
January 9, 2012 — Scientists have independently made the largest direct measurements of the invisible scaffolding of the universe, using the gravitational lensing effect known as "cosmic shear" to build maps of the ... > full story
