Distant Galaxies Are In The Red
According to scientists from the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, red is the colour favoured by distant galaxies. But the reason for this is still not clear. Working with astronomers in California and Canada, the Cambridge team used a special infrared-sensitive camera to carry out a large-scale survey of distant galaxies. The main goal of the project was to study the Universe when... View More (2001-04-03)
Chandra catches 'piranha' black holes
Supermassive black holes have been discovered to grow more rapidly in young galaxy clusters, according to new results from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. View More (2007-07-25)
Sleeping Giants Discovered
Astronomers recently discovered the most massive black holes to date. Found in two separate nearby galaxies roughly 300 million light years away from Earth, each black hole has a mass equivalent to 10 billion suns. View More (2011-12-07)

Scientists discover 'catastrophic event' behind the halt of star birth in early galaxy formation
Scientists have found evidence of a catastrophic event they believe was responsible for halting the birth of stars in a galaxy in the early Universe. View More (2010-03-10)
Clearing the cosmic fog of the early universe: Massive stars may be responsible
The space between the galaxies wasn't always transparent. In the earliest times, it was an opaque, dense fog. View More (2011-10-13)
More star births than astronomers have calculated
The "birth rate" for stars is certainly not easy to determine. Distances in the universe are far too great for astronomers to be able to count all the newly formed celestial bodies with the aid of a telescope. View More (2008-10-02)
Faint 'satellite galaxy' discovered
A faint "satellite galaxy" 10 billion light years from Earth is the lowest-mass object ever detected at such a distance, says University of California, Davis, physics professor Chris Fassnacht, who aided in the satellite's discovery. View More (2012-01-19)
VLT observations of gamma-ray burst reveal surprising ingredients of early galaxies
Gamma-ray bursts are the brightest explosions in the Universe. They are first spotted by orbiting observatories that detect the initial short burst of gamma rays. View More (2011-11-02)
New deep space images of distant strip of sky to be available on Google
A global project to map a distant strip of the universe is releasing its data today to scientists and the public to be used as part of Google Sky, a new feature of Google Earth. View More (2007-10-04)
Universal, primordial magnetic fields discovered in deep space by UCLA, Caltech physicists
Scientists from the California Institute of Technology and UCLA have discovered evidence of "universal ubiquitous magnetic fields" that have permeated deep space between galaxies since the time of the Big Bang. View More (2010-09-22)
Identity parade clears cosmic collisions of the suspicion of promoting black hole growth
What happens when galaxies crash together? For years, these cosmic collisions have been blamed for triggering violent outbursts at the hearts of galaxies. View More (2011-01-05)
Hubble finds large sample of very distant galaxies
New Hubble Space Telescope observations of six spectacular galaxy clusters acting as gravitational lenses have given significant insights into the early stages of the Universe. Scientists have found the largest sample of very distant galaxies seen to date: ten promising candidates thought to lie at a distance of 13 billion light-years (~redshift 7.5). View More (2008-07-25)
'Ghost particle' sized up by cosmologists
Cosmologists at UCL are a step closer to determining the mass of the elusive neutrino particle, not by using a giant particle detector, but by gazing up into space. View More (2010-06-24)
IU astronomer's discovery poses challenge to galaxy formation theories
A team led by an Indiana University astronomer has found a sample of massive galaxies with properties that suggest they may have formed relatively recently. View More (2009-04-13)
Texas astronomers measure most massive, most unusual black hole using Hobby-Eberly Telescope
Astronomers have used the Hobby-Eberly Telescope at The University of Texas at Austin's McDonald Observatory to measure the mass of what may be the most massive black hole yet - 17 billion Suns - in galaxy NGC 1277. View More (2012-11-29)
Astronomers discover an unusual cosmic lens
Astronomers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have discovered the first known case of a distant galaxy being magnified by a quasar acting as a gravitational lens. View More (2010-07-16)
Astronomers Uncover A Surprising Trend in Galaxy Evolution
A comprehensive study of hundreds of galaxies observed by the Keck telescopes in Hawaii and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has revealed an unexpected pattern of change that extends back 8 billion years, or more than half the age of the universe. View More (2012-10-22)
Hubble sees a galaxy hit a bullseye
In Hubble's image, NGC 922 clearly reveals itself not to be a normal spiral galaxy. View More (2012-12-06)
Massive black holes halt star birth in distant galaxies
Astronomers, using the European Space Agency's (ESA) Herschel Space Observatory, have shown that the number of stars that form during the early lives of galaxies may be influenced by the massive black holes at their hearts. View More (2012-05-10)
