Iowa State researchers contribute to discovery of gamma rays from starburst galaxy
Iowa State University astrophysicists contributed to the recent discovery that a galaxy quickly creating new stars is also a source of high energy gamma rays. view more (2009-11-03)
Integral expands our view of the gamma-ray sky
Integral's latest survey of the gamma-ray universe continues to change the way astronomers think of the high-energy cosmos. With over seventy percent of the sky now observed by Integral, astronomers have been able to construct the largest catalogue yet of individual gamma-ray-emitting celestial objects. view more (2007-02-21)
New Insight into the Cosmic Renaissance Epoch
VLT Discovers a Group of Early Inhabitants and Find Signs of Many More [1] Using the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT), two astronomers from Germany and the UK [2] have discovered some of the most distant galaxies ever seen. They are located about 12,600 million light-years away. It has taken the light now recorded by the VLT about nine-tenths of the... view more... (2003-08-21)
UVES Investigates the Environment of a Very Remote Galaxy
Surplus of Intergalactic Material May Be Young Supercluster view more (2002-03-11)
Hubble spies shells of sparkling stars around quasar
New images taken with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope - part of a research project led by UC Riverside's Gabriela Canalizo - have revealed the wild side of an elliptical galaxy, nearly two billion light-years away, that previously had been considered mild-mannered. view more (2007-10-26)
Astronomers find the most distant star clusters hidden behind a nearby cluster
Astronomers have discovered the most distant population of star clusters ever seen, hidden behind one of the nearest such clusters to Earth. view more (2007-01-11)
Science with Integral -- 5 years on
With eyes that peer into the most energetic phenomena in the universe, ESA's Integral has been setting records, discovering the unexpected and helping understanding the unknown over its first five years. view more (2007-10-18)
James Webb Space Telescope Begins to Take Shape at Goddard
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is starting to come together. A major component of the telescope, the Integrated Science Instrument Module structure, recently arrived at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. for testing in the Spacecraft Systems Development and Integration Facility. view more (2009-09-16)
Yale Astronomer Discovers Upper Mass Limit for Black Holes
here appears to be an upper limit to how big the universe's most massive black holes can get, according to new research led by a Yale University astrophysicist. view more (2008-09-12)
Science with the Very Large Telescope
There will be many presentations at the Symposium of recent work at the major astronomical facilities in the world. The meeting provides a very useful forum to discuss the latest developments and, in this sense, contributes to the planning of future research with the VLT and other large telescopes. view more (1999-02-27)
Cannibal stars like their food hot, XMM-Newton reveals
ESA's XMM-Newton has seen vast clouds of superheated gas, whirling around miniature stars and escaping from being devoured by the stars' enormous gravitational fields-giving a new insight into the eating habits of the galaxy's 'cannibal' stars. view more (2006-03-24)
Rogue Black Holes May Roam the Milky Way
It sounds like the plot of a sci-fi movie: rogue black holes roaming our galaxy, threatening to swallow anything that gets too close. In fact, new calculations by Ryan O'Leary and Avi Loeb (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) suggest that hundreds of massive black holes, left over from the galaxy-building days of the early universe, may... view more...

Suzaku Snaps First Complete X-ray View of a Galaxy Cluster
The joint Japan-U.S. Suzaku mission is providing new insight into how assemblages of thousands of galaxies pull themselves together. view more (2009-05-29)
Stellar Clusters Forming in the Blue Dwarf Galaxy NGC 5253
Star formation is one of the most basic phenomena in the Universe. Inside stars, primordial material from the Big Bang is processed into heavier elements that we observe today. In the extended atmospheres of certain types of stars, these elements combine into more complex systems like molecules and dust grains, the building blocks for new planets,... view more...

Fog lifted on 'dark' gamma-ray bursts, mysterious counterparts to bursts with an afterglow
Gamma-ray bursts, with their ability to pierce through gas and dust to shine brightly across the universe, are revealing areas of intense star formation and stellar death where astronomers have been unable to look - the dusty corners of otherwise dust-free galaxies. view more (2009-06-09)
NGC 4945: The Milky Way's not-so-distant Cousin
ESO has released a striking new image of a nearby galaxy that many astronomers think closely resembles our own Milky Way. view more (2009-09-02)
First Results from Penn's Balloon-Borne Telescope BLAST: Extragalactic Survey Reveals Half the Universe's Starlight
After two years spent analyzing data from BLAST, the Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Sub-millimeter Telescope, physicists are releasing the first results. view more (2009-04-10)
Immigrant Sun: Our star could be far from where it started in Milky Way
A long-standing scientific belief holds that stars tend to hang out in the same general part of a galaxy where they originally formed. Some astrophysicists have recently questioned whether that is true, and now new simulations show that, at least in galaxies similar to our own Milky Way, stars such as the sun can migrate great distances. view more (2008-09-16)
Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Chile and ESO for Establishing a New Center for Observation in Chile - ALMA
On October 21, 2002, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Chile, Mrs. Maria Soledad Alvear and the ESO Director General, Dr. Catherine Cesarsky, signed an Agreement that authorizes ESO to establish a new center for astronomical observation in Chile. This new center for astronomical observation will be for the Atacama Large Millimeter... view more... (2002-10-24)
VERITAS telescopes help solve 100-year-old mystery: The origin of cosmic rays
Nearly 100 years ago, scientists detected the first signs of cosmic rays - subatomic particles (mostly protons) that zip through space at nearly the speed of light. view more (2009-11-03)
