NASA Completes First Part of Webb Telescope's 'Eye Surgery' Operation
Much like the inside of an operating room, in the clean room at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., engineers worked meticulously to implant part of the eyes of the James Webb Space Telescope. They scrubbed up and suited up to perform one of the most delicate performances of their lives. View More (2013-05-16)
Entire galaxies feel the heat from newborn stars
When galaxies form new stars, they sometimes do so in frantic episodes of activity known as starbursts. These events were commonplace in the early Universe, but are rarer in nearby galaxies. View More (2013-04-25)
Rare galaxy found furiously burning fuel for stars
Astronomers have found a galaxy turning gas into stars with almost 100 percent efficiency, a rare phase of galaxy evolution that is the most extreme yet observed. View More (2013-04-24)
Astronomers Discover Massive Star Factory in Early Universe
Smaller begets bigger. Such is often the case for galaxies, at least: the first galaxies were small, then eventually merged together to form the behemoths we see in the present universe. View More (2013-04-18)
ALMA pinpoints early galaxies at record speed
The most fertile bursts of star birth in the early Universe took place in distant galaxies containing lots of cosmic dust. View More (2013-04-17)
ALMA Finds 'Monster' Starburst Galaxies in the Early Universe
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope have discovered starburst galaxies earlier in the Universe's history than they were previously thought to have existed. View More (2013-04-05)
Green Pea galaxies could help astronomers understand early universe
The rare Green Pea galaxies discovered by the general public in 2007 could help confirm astronomers' understanding of reionization, a pivotal stage in the evolution of the early universe, say University of Michigan researchers. View More (2013-04-04)
Puzzle of how spiral galaxies set their arms comes into focus
As the shapes of galaxies go, the spiral disk - with its characteristic pinwheel profile - is by far the most pedestrian. View More (2013-04-03)
'Sideline quasars' helped to stifle early galaxy formation, says CU-Boulder study
University of Colorado Boulder astronomers targeting one of the brightest quasars glowing in the universe some 11 billion years ago say "sideline quasars" likely teamed up with it to heat abundant helium gas billions of years ago, preventing small galaxy formation. View More (2013-03-22)
Planck's new map brings universe into focus
The Planck space mission has today released the most accurate and detailed map ever made of the oldest light in the universe. View More (2013-03-22)
Spiral beauty graced by fading supernova
Supernovae are amongst the most violent events in nature. They mark the dazzling deaths of stars and can outshine the combined light of the billions of stars in their host galaxies. View More (2013-03-20)
NSF-funded Telescopes in Antarctica and Chile Discover Bursts of Star Formation in the Early Universe
Distant, dust-filled galaxies were bursting with newborn stars much earlier in cosmic history than previously thought, according to newly published research. View More (2013-03-18)
Witnessing starbursts in young galaxies
On March 13, it was announced the most vigorous bursts of star birth in the cosmos took place much earlier than previously thought - results now published in a set of papers in Nature and the Astrophysical Journal. View More (2013-03-15)
ALMA finds 'monster' starburst galaxies in the early universe
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope have discovered starburst galaxies earlier in the Universe's history than they were previously thought to have existed. View More (2013-03-14)
ALMA exposes hidden star factories in the early universe
Some of the brightest galaxies in the universe - infant galaxies that churned out tens of thousands of stars each year at the dawn of the universe - evolved much sooner and in greater numbers than previously thought, according to new measurements obtained by University of Arizona astronomers.

Bursts of Star Formation in the Early Universe
Galaxies have been experiencing vigorous bursts of star formation from much earlier in cosmic history than previously thought, according to new observations by a Caltech-led team. View More (2013-03-14)
Extremely rare triple quasar found
For only the second time in history, a team of scientists--including Carnegie's Michele Fumagalli--have discovered an extremely rare triple quasar system. Their work is published by Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. View More (2013-03-12)
Measuring the universe more accurately than ever before
Astronomers survey the scale of the Universe by first measuring the distances to close-by objects and then using them as standard candles to pin down distances further and further out into the cosmos. View More (2013-03-07)
Distance to nearest galaxy measured
A team of astronomers including Carnegie's Ian Thompson have managed to improve the measurement of the distance to our nearest neighbor galaxy and, in the process, refine an astronomical calculation that helps measure the expansion of the universe. View More (2013-03-07)
Gravitational Lens Creates Cartoon of Space Invader
The gravitational field surrounding this massive cluster of galaxies, Abell 68, acts as a natural lens in space to brighten and magnify the light coming from very distant background galaxies. View More (2013-03-06)
