First simultaneous observation of a gamma-ray burst in the X-ray and in the very high energy gamma ray band
For the first time a gamma-ray burst (GRB) has been observed simultaneously in the X-ray and in the very high energy gamma ray band. View More (2005-08-24)
Scientists Wait For Beagle 2 To Call Home
The fate of Beagle 2 remains uncertain this morning after the giant radio telescope at Jodrell Bank in Cheshire, UK, failed in its first attempt to detect any signal from the spacecraft. Scientists were hopeful that the 250 ft (76 m) Lovell Telescope, recently fitted with a highly sensitive receiver, would be able to pick up the outgoing call from the Mars lander between 19.00 GMT and midnight...

Decadal survey of astronomy and astrophysics
A new report by the National Research Council identifies the highest- priority research activities for astronomy and astrophysics in the next decade that will "set the nation firmly on the path to answering profound questions about the cosmos." View More (2010-08-16)
Hubble finds infant stars in neighbouring galaxy
Hubble astronomers have uncovered, for the first time, a population of infant stars in the Milky Way satellite galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC, visible to the naked eye in the southern constellation Tucana), located 210,000 light-years away. View More (2005-01-12)
Plan to identify watery Earth-like planets develops
Astronomers are looking to identify Earth-like watery worlds circling distant stars from a glint of light seen through an optical space telescope and a mathematical method developed by researchers at Penn State and the University of Hawaii. View More (2008-04-24)
A postcard from extragalactic space?
We see NGC 6744 almost face on, meaning we get a dramatic bird's eye view of the galaxy's structure. If we had the technology to escape the Milky Way and could look down on it from intergalactic space, this view is close to the one we would see - striking spiral arms wrapping around a dense, elongated nucleus and a dusty disc.

Opening up a colorful cosmic jewel box
Star clusters are among the most visually alluring and astrophysically fascinating objects in the sky. One of the most spectacular nestles deep in the southern skies near the Southern Cross in the constellation of Crux. View More (2009-10-29)
The Most Rigid Telescope
The scientists from NPO Astrofizika, have designed a terrestrial telescope, which has no match all over the world. Fundamentally new technical solutions ensure that a unique telescope with the mirror of 25 meters in diameter is able to investigate previously invisible celestial objects of up to the 29-th magnitude. What makes astronomers design the... View More (2002-06-17)
Ultra-distant galaxy spied amidst cosmic 'Dark Ages'
With the combined power of NASA's Spitzer and Hubble Space Telescopes, as well as a cosmic magnification effect, a team of astronomers, including Carnegie's Daniel Kelson, have spotted what could be the most distant galaxy ever seen. View More (2012-09-20)
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)
Massive explosion helps Warwick researcher spot universe's most distant object
An international team of UK and US astronomers have spotted the most distant explosion, and possibly the most distant object, ever seen in the Universe. View More (2011-05-26)
Hubble finds that "blue blobs" in space are orphaned clusters of stars
Hubble has revealed that mysterious "blue blobs" in a structure called Arp's Loop between M81 and M82 are blue clusters of stars less than 200 million years old with many stars as young as, and even younger than, 10 million years. View More (2008-01-09)
Violent galaxy seen in 3-D
Astronomers at the Gemini telescope in Hawaii have obtained a complete, multi-dimensional picture, of the dynamic flow of gas and stars at the core of an active galaxy [NGC 1068] located 70 million light years away. The image was achieved in a single snapshot and is the first time such a picture has been obtained by one of the new generation of giant telescopes with an 8 - 10 metre light...

A galaxy blooming with new stars
The VLT Survey Telescope (VST) has captured the beauty of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 253. View More (2011-12-15)
General relativity survives gruelling pulsar test
Astronomers have used a pair of pulsars orbiting each other, found with CSIRO's Parkes telescope in 2003, to show that Einstein's theory of general relativity is correct to within 0.05% - the most stringent limit to date. View More (2006-09-18)
XMM-Newton's anniversary view of supernova SN 1987A
Twenty years after the first detection of SN 1987A, the nearest supernova ever detected since the invention of the telescope, XMM-Newton provided a fresh-new view of this object. The source keeps brightening-XMM-Newton confirms. View More (2007-02-26)
Youngest solar systems detected by U-M astronomers
Astronomers at the University of Michigan have found what are believed to be some of the youngest solar systems yet detected. View More (2007-11-30)
Ariane 5 and Soyuz to launch two Australian satellites from the Guiana Space Centre
As they announced the signing of the contract by Arianespace for the launch of two Australian satellites, Optus D1 and Optus D2, on Ariane 5 and Soyuz from the Guiana Space Centre, ESA Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain and the Director General of the Federal Space Agency (Russia), Anatoli Perminov, declared themselves very satisfied with the contract, which showed that ESA Member States had...

NASA Scientists Detect Spectrum of Planets Orbiting Other Stars
For the first time, scientists at Goddard have obtained a spectrum, or molecular fingerprint, of a planet orbiting another star. Using spectroscopy, scientists were able to identify silicon dust in clouds on a gas-giant planet called HD 209458b. That planet is located 150 light years from Earth. View More (2007-02-23)
Scientists focus on revealing hidden mysteries of the Universe
Secrets of the Universe are to be revealed as a new telescope equipped with the world's most powerful digital camera begins its observations of the night sky. View More (2010-06-17)
