Astronomers use laser to take clearest images of the center of the Milky Way
UCLA astronomers and colleagues have taken the first clear picture of the center of our Milky Way galaxy, including the area surrounding the supermassive black hole, using a new laser virtual star at the W.M. Keck observatory in Hawaii.   view more (2005-12-21)

Astronomers use Hubble to 'weigh' Dog Star's companion
For astronomers, it's always been a source of frustration that the nearest white-dwarf star is buried in the glow of the brightest star in the nighttime sky. This burned-out stellar remnant is a faint companion of the brilliant blue-white Dog Star, Sirius, located in the winter constellation Canis... view more (2005-12-13)

JHU-STScI team maps dark matter in startling detail
Clues revealed by the recently sharpened view of the Hubble Space Telescope have allowed astronomers to map the location of invisible "dark matter" in unprecedented detail in two very young galaxy clusters.   view more (2005-12-12)

Optical vortex could look directly at extrasolar planets
A new optical device might allow astronomers to view extrasolar planets directly without the annoying glare of the parent star.   view more (2005-12-01)

Einstein's dark energy accelerates the universe
The enigmatic "dark energy" that drives the acceleration of the Universe behaves just like Einstein's famed cosmological constant.   view more (2005-11-28)

How do massive stars form?
Massive stars play a key role in the chemical and dynamical evolution of galaxies. The way massive stars form is still much debated among the astronomers' community: it is currently one of the hottest astrophysical topics.   view more (2005-11-09)

'First light' for the large binocular telescope
The Large Binocular Telescope, positioned on the 3190-meter high Mount Graham in Arizona, is one of the most prominent scientific-technical projects in modern astronomical research.   view more (2005-10-27)

Hubble finds mysterious disk of blue stars around a black hole
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have identified the source of a mysterious blue light surrounding a supermassive black hole in our neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy (M31).   view more (2005-09-21)

Black hole in search of a home
The detection of a super massive black hole without a massive host galaxy is the surprising result from a large Hubble and VLT study of quasars.   view more (2005-09-15)

Discovery confirms explosive prediction made by astrophysicists in 1999
NASA's Swift satellite and ground-based telescopes have discovered the most distant exploding star on record, confirming a 1999 prediction made by University of Chicago astrophysicist Don Lamb and Daniel Reichart, who was then a graduate student at Chicago.   view more (2005-09-13)

Rapid-born planets present 'baby picture' of our early solar system
Using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, a team of astronomers led by the University of Rochester has detected gaps ringing the dusty disks around two very young stars, which suggests that gas-giant planets have formed there.   view more (2005-09-12)

Dusty old star offers window to our future, astronomers report
Astronomers have glimpsed dusty debris around an essentially dead star where gravity and radiation should have long ago removed any sign of dust - a discovery that may provide insights into our own solar system's eventual demise several billion years from now.   view more (2005-09-09)

Percutaneous aortic valve replacement

Waging a high-tech war against sinusitis
Coughing, headaches, fatigue, post-nasal drip and intense pressure throughout the face. For millions of Americans, these aren't just the side effects of a short bout with the flu, but what they experience every day living with sinusitis.   view more (2005-08-18)

Galactic survey reveals a new look for the Milky Way
With the help of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers have conducted the most comprehensive structural analysis of our galaxy and have found tantalizing new evidence that the Milky Way is much different from your ordinary spiral galaxy.   view more (2005-08-17)
