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 -
Most Distant Dwarf Galaxy Detected
January 18, 2012 — 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 adaptive optics has ... > full story -
Calculating What's in the Universe from the Biggest Color 3-D Map
January 11, 2012 — 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 deriving cosmic rulers from an ... > 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 -
Astronomers Reach New Frontiers of Dark Matter
January 9, 2012 — For the first time, astronomers have mapped dark matter on the largest scale ever observed. New findings reveal a Universe comprising an intricate cosmic web of dark matter and galaxies spanning more ... > full story
