UBC astronomers help map the universe's dark matter at unprecedented scale
University of British Columbia and University of Edinburgh astronomers have mapped dark matter on the largest scale ever observed, according to results released today at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Austin, Texas. View More (2012-01-10)
NASA's Chandra finds black holes are 'green'
Black holes are the most fuel efficient engines in the Universe, according to a new study using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. View More (2006-04-25)
Possible missing link between young and old galaxies
University of California, Berkeley, astronomers may have found the missing link between gas-filled, star-forming galaxies and older, gas-depleted galaxies typically characterized as "red and dead." View More (2011-01-11)
Close up on hidden galaxies with new cosmic zoom lenses
Astronomers have discovered a new way of locating a natural phenomenon that acts like a zoom lens and allows astronomers to peer at galaxies in the distant and early Universe. View More (2010-11-09)
The secret life of galaxies
Looking up at the night sky you could be forgiven for believing that the sedate progress of the stars across the firmament belies the serene nature of galaxies. But a closer look at our celestial neighbours reveals that the reality is very different. View More (2008-01-11)
Flocculent spiral NGC 2841
Star formation is one of the most important processes in shaping the Universe; it plays a pivotal role in the evolution of galaxies and it is also in the earliest stages of star formation that planetary systems first appear. View More (2011-02-17)
When galaxies eat galaxies
Using gravitational "lenses" in space, University of Utah astronomers discovered that the centers of the biggest galaxies are growing denser - evidence of repeated collisions and mergers by massive galaxies with 100 billion stars. View More (2012-10-12)
Swift survey finds 'missing' active galaxies
Seen in X-rays, the entire sky is aglow. Even far away from bright sources, X-rays originating from beyond our galaxy provide a steady glow in every direction. Astronomers have long suspected that the chief contributors to this cosmic X-ray background were dust-swaddled black holes at the centers of active galaxies. View More (2011-01-21)
Astronomers discover link between supermassive black holes and galaxy formation
A pair of astronomers from Texas and Germany have used a telescope at The University of Texas at Austin's McDonald Observatory together with Hubble Space Telescope and many other telescopes around the world to uncover new evidence that the largest, most massive galaxies in the universe and the supermassive black holes at their hearts grew together over time.

Galaxy caught blowing bubbles
The intricate glowing shells of gas in Holmberg II were created by the energetic lifecycles of many generations of stars. High-mass stars form in dense regions of gas, and later in life expel strong stellar winds that blow away the surrounding material. View More (2011-09-29)
New understanding of the origin of galaxies advanced
A new theory as to how galaxies were formed in the Universe billions of years ago has been formulated by Hebrew University of Jerusalem cosmologists. The theory takes issue with the prevailing view on how the galaxies came to exist. View More (2009-01-22)
Astronomers Expect To Be "Dazled" By Views Of Ancient Universe
ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY PRESS NOTICE: ASTRONOMERS EXPECT TO BE "DAZLED" BY VIEWS OF ANCIENT UNIVERSE View More (2005-04-05)
Black hole came from a shredded galaxy
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found a cluster of young, blue stars encircling the first intermediate-mass black hole ever discovered. View More (2012-02-15)
Hubble Zooms in on a Magnified Galaxy
Thanks to the presence of a natural "zoom lens" in space, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope got a uniquely close-up look at the brightest "magnified" galaxy yet discovered. View More (2012-02-03)
The dusty disc of NGC 247
The spiral galaxy NGC 247 is one of the closest spiral galaxies of the southern sky. In this new view from the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope in Chile large numbers of the galaxy's component stars are clearly resolved and many glowing pink clouds of hydrogen, marking regions of active star formation, can be made out in the loose and ragged spiral arms.

Exotic Galaxy Reveals Tantalizing Tale
A galaxy with a combination of characteristics never seen before is giving astronomers a tantalizing peek at processes they believe played key roles in the growth of galaxies and clusters of galaxies early in the history of the Universe. View More (2011-08-26)
AEGIS survey reveals new principle governing galaxy formation and evolution
Faced with the bewildering array of galaxies in the universe, from orderly spirals to chaotic mergers, it is hard to imagine a unifying principle that describes them all with mathematical precision. But that is just what astronomers have now discovered. View More (2007-03-07)
Young Stars in Old Galaxies - a Cosmic Hide and Seek Game
Surprise Discovery with World`s Leading Telescopes Combining data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT), a group of European and American astronomers have made an unexpected, major discovery. They have identified a huge number of "young" stellar clusters, only a few billion years old , inside an "old" elliptical galaxy (NGC 4365), probably aged... View More (2002-06-26)
Cosmic magnifying lenses distort view of distant galaxies
Looking deep into space, and literally peering back in time, is like experiencing the universe in a house of mirrors where everything is distorted through a phenomenon called gravitational lensing. View More (2011-01-13)
Swift Satellite records early phase of gamma ray burst
UK astronomers, using a telescope aboard the NASA Swift Satellite, have captured information from the early stages of a gamma ray burst - the most violent and luminous explosions occurring in the Universe since the Big Bang. View More (2009-03-03)
