Dark Galaxies of the Early Universe Spotted for the First Time
July 11, 2012 — Dark galaxies are small, gas-rich galaxies in the early Universe that are very inefficient at forming stars. They are predicted by theories of galaxy formation and are thought to be the building ... > full story -
Hubble Unmasks Ghost Galaxies
July 10, 2012 — Astronomers are studying some of the smallest and faintest galaxies in our cosmic neighborhood. These galaxies are fossils of the early Universe: They have barely changed for 13 billion years. The ... > full story -
A Roll of the Dice: Quantum Mechanics Researchers Show That Nature Is Unpredictable
July 9, 2012 — Many of the predictions we make in everyday life are vague, and we often get them wrong because we have incomplete information, such as when we predict the weather. But in quantum mechanics, even if ... > full story -

NuSTAR Space Telescope Opens Its X-Ray Eyes
June 28, 2012 — NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, has snapped its first test images of the sizzling high-energy X-ray universe. The observatory, launched June 13, is the first space telescope ... > full story -
Multiple Mergers Generate Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy
June 29, 2012 — Ultraluminous infrared galaxies are the most luminous class of galaxies in the relatively near or local Universe. Most of their energy output is in the infrared range, suggesting that they contain a ... > full story -
ALMA Reveals Constituent of a Galaxy at 12.4 Billion Light-Years Away
June 27, 2012 — How and when did galaxies with hundreds of billions of stars form and evolve? The sun, which is the center of the solar system in which we live, is also only one of the countless stars contained ... > full story -
Gravitational Lensing: Astronomers Spot Rare Arc from Hefty Galaxy Cluster
June 26, 2012 — Seeing is believing, except when you don't believe what you see. Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found a puzzling arc of light behind an extremely massive cluster of galaxies ... > full story -
Reaching, Researching Between Stars: Astronomers Use Lonestar Supercomputer to Explore Role of Dark Matter in Galaxy Formation
June 26, 2012 — A new study reveals that dark matter is more distributed than predictions previously stated. Researchers used the TACC Lonestar supercomputer to simulate thousands of galaxy models based on the ... > full story -
Soon After the Big Bang, Heavier Elements Emerge: Tin-100, a Doubly Magic Nucleus
June 20, 2012 — A few minutes after the Big Bang the universe contained no other elements than hydrogen and helium. Physicists have now succeeded in producing tin-100, a very unstable yet important element for ... > full story
