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)
Evidence mounts for sun's companion star
he Binary Research Institute (BRI) has found that orbital characteristics of the recently discovered planetoid, "Sedna", demonstrate the possibility that our sun might be part of a binary star system. view more (2006-04-25)
NTT Observations Indicate that Brown Dwarfs Form Like Stars
Dusty Disks Detected around Very Young Substellar Objects in the Orion Nebula An international team of astronomers is announcing today the discovery of dusty disks surrounding numerous very faint objects that are believed to be recently formed Brown Dwarfs in the Orion Nebula. This finding is based on detailed observations with SOFI, a specialised... view more... (2001-06-07)
XMM-Newton reveals X-rays from gas streams around young stars
XMM-Newton has surveyed nearly two hundred stars under formation to reveal, contrary to expectations, how streams of matter fall onto the young stars' magnetic atmospheres and radiate X-rays. view more (2007-06-01)
Trigger-happy star formation
A new study from two of NASA's Great Observatories provides fresh insight into how some stars are born, along with a beautiful new image of a stellar nursery in our Galaxy. view more (2009-08-13)
Double Engine for a Nebula
ESO has just released a stunning new image of a field of stars towards the constellation of Carina (the Keel). This striking view is ablaze with a flurry of stars of all colours and brightnesses, some of which are seen against a backdrop of clouds of dust and gas. view more (2009-08-06)
Supernova remnant menagerie
The supernova remnant N 63A is a member of N 63, a star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Visible from the southern hemisphere, the LMC is an irregular galaxy lying 160,000 light-years from our own Milky Way galaxy. view more (2005-06-07)
Galaxies coming of age in cosmic blobs
The "coming of age" of galaxies and black holes has been pinpointed, thanks to new data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes. view more (2009-06-25)
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)
Hubble's 17th anniversary -- extreme star birth in the Carina Nebula
Hubble's new view of the Carina Nebula shows the process of star birth at a new level of detail. view more (2007-04-25)
Hubble sees the graceful dance of 2 interacting galaxies
A pair of galaxies, known collectively as Arp 87, is one of hundreds of interacting and merging galaxies known in our nearby Universe. Arp 87 was originally discovered and catalogued by astronomer Halton Arp in the 1970s. Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies is a compilation of astronomical photographs using the Palomar 200-inch Hale and the 48-inch... view more... (2007-10-31)
Marine moss reveals clues to anticancer compound
An Oregon Health & Science University researcher believes the discovery of a gene cluster from a bacterium that protects a moss-like marine invertebrate from predators may be the first step toward engineering cancer-fighting drugs. view more (2007-03-12)
Clash of clusters provides new dark matter clue
A powerful collision between galaxy clusters has been captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This clash of clusters provides striking evidence for dark matter and insight into its properties. view more (2008-08-28)
Spitzer nets thousands of galaxies in a giant cluster
In just a short amount of time, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has bagged more than a thousand previously unknown dwarf galaxies in a giant cluster of galaxies. view more (2007-05-29)
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)
Hubble sees magnetic monster in erupting galaxy
The Hubble Space Telescope has found the answer to a long-standing puzzle by resolving giant but delicate filaments shaped by a strong magnetic field around the active galaxy NGC 1275. It is the most striking example of the influence of these immense tentacles of extragalactic magnetic fields, say researchers. view more (2008-08-21)
Pinpoint accuracy with the Proba camera
A new star tracker allowing a satellite to determine its orientation in space with an accuracy never seen before has proved its worth aboard ESA`s Proba mission. Proba (Project for On-Board Autonomy) built by Verhaert (Belgium) for ESA was launched in Autumn 2001 and is now fully operational, carrying out a series of Earth observations with... view more...

Isolated Star-Forming Cloud Discovered in Intracluster Space
Subaru and VLT Join Forces in New Study of Virgo Galaxy Cluster [1] At a distance of some 50 million light-years, the Virgo Cluster is the nearest galaxy cluster. It is located in the zodiacal constellation of the same name (The Virgin) and is a large and dense assembly of hundreds of galaxies. The "intracluster" space between the Virgo galaxies... view more... (2003-01-16)
Discovery of the chemically oldest star in the Milky Way
During the last 30 years researchers have tried to find stars that still carry vestiges of the very origin of the Milky Way Galaxy, when it formed from a gigantic collection of gas soon after the Big Bang. The gas of our galaxy, which was presumably composed of hydrogen and helium at the beginning, is continuously polluted by exploding stars that... view more... (2002-10-31)
Astronomers catch binary star explosion inside nebula
The explosion of a binary star inside a planetary nebula has been captured by a team led by UCL (University College London) researchers - an event that has not been witnessed for more than 100 years. view more (2008-11-20)
