The galaxy, which is 12.8 billion light-years from Earth, is as large as the Milky Way galaxy and harbors a supermassive black hole that contains at least a billion times as much matter as does our sun. http://www.huliq.com/11/85821/astronomers-find-giant-galaxy#comments Science Galaxy Universe Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:26:35 -0500 harminka 85821 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/83366/herschel-promises-rich-discoveries-asrronomers Herschel has carried out the first test observations with all its instruments, with spectacular results. Galaxies, star-forming regions and dying stars comprised the telescope’s first targets. The instruments provided spectacular data on their first attempt, finding water and carbon and revealing dozens of distant galaxies. http://www.huliq.com/11/83366/herschel-promises-rich-discoveries-asrronomers#comments Science Astronomy Galaxy Universe Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:48:06 -0500 harminka 83366 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82980/astronomers-unveiled-new-atlas-inner-regions-milky-way Astronomers have unveiled an unprecedented new atlas of the inner regions of the Milky Way, our home galaxy, peppered with thousands of previously undiscovered dense knots of cold cosmic dust — the potential birthplaces of new stars. Made using observations from the APEX telescope in Chile, this survey is the largest map of cold dust so far, and will prove an invaluable map for observations made with the forthcoming ALMA telescope, as well as the recently launched ESA Herschel space telescope. http://www.huliq.com/11/82980/astronomers-unveiled-new-atlas-inner-regions-milky-way#comments Science Galaxy Milky Way Universe Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:29:41 -0500 harminka 82980 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82241/small-microbe-may-hold-clues-life-space A novel bacterium that has been trapped more than three kilometres under glacial ice in Greenland for over 120 000 years, may hold clues as to what life forms might exist on other planets. http://www.huliq.com/11/82241/small-microbe-may-hold-clues-life-space#comments Science bacteriums extraterrestrial life Universe Mon, 15 Jun 2009 07:28:12 -0500 harminka 82241 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82100/searching-life-universe A lunar eclipse helped a group of international scientists take a snapshot of earth's chemical fingerprint, which could help to identify planets most similar to earth where life may be thriving. http://www.huliq.com/11/82100/searching-life-universe#comments Science Universe universe observation Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:39:24 -0500 harminka 82100 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/81432/new-picture-universe-revealed A telescope designed by a University of Miami physicist and an international team of collaborators has produced the clearest images of starburst galaxies, revealing a new picture of the universe in its early stages http://www.huliq.com/11/81432/new-picture-universe-revealed#comments Science space telescope Universe Wed, 27 May 2009 13:09:57 -0500 harminka 81432 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/81258/astronomers-catch-star-transformation Researchers have witnessed a star being transformed into an object that spins at almost 600 times a second using telescopes in the USA and the Netherlands, and CSIRO's Parkes telescope in Australia. http://www.huliq.com/11/81258/astronomers-catch-star-transformation#comments Science stars Universe Fri, 22 May 2009 11:37:18 -0500 harminka 81258 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/81219/researchers-observed-singular-cosmic-act-rebirth For the first time, researchers have observed a singular cosmic act of rebirth: the transformation of an ordinary, slow-rotating pulsar into a superfast millisecond pulsar with an almost infinitely extended lifespan. http://www.huliq.com/11/81219/researchers-observed-singular-cosmic-act-rebirth#comments Science Cosmics pulsar blasts Universe Thu, 21 May 2009 14:33:26 -0500 harminka 81219 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/78955/astronomers-observe-asteroid-it-crashes-earth UK astronomers, using the Science and Technology Facilities Council's (STFC) William Herschel Telescope on La Palma, observed a rare asteroid as it was hurtling towards our planet and have captured the only spectrum of it before it exploded in our atmosphere. http://www.huliq.com/11/78955/astronomers-observe-asteroid-it-crashes-earth#comments Science asteroids Universe Thu, 26 Mar 2009 12:51:24 -0500 harminka 78955 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/78577/nasa-scientists-find-clues-secret-life NASA scientists analyzing the dust of meteorites have discovered new clues to a long-standing mystery about how life works on its most basic, molecular level. http://www.huliq.com/11/78577/nasa-scientists-find-clues-secret-life#comments Science meteorites NASA Universe Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:47:47 -0500 harminka 78577 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/77576/100-m-virtual-telescope-captures-unique-detailed-color-image A team of French astronomers has captured one of the sharpest colour images ever made. They observed the star T Leporis, which appears, on the sky, as small as a two-storey house on the Moon. The image was taken with ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), emulating a virtual telescope about 100 metres across and reveals a spherical molecular shell around an aged star. http://www.huliq.com/11/77576/100-m-virtual-telescope-captures-unique-detailed-color-image#comments Science telescopes Universe Wed, 18 Feb 2009 10:43:21 -0600 harminka 77576 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/77485/cosmologists-aim-observe-first-moments-universe During the next decade, a delicate measurement of primordial light could reveal convincing evidence for the popular cosmic inflation theory, which proposes that a random, microscopic density fluctuation in the fabric of space and time gave birth to the universe in a hot big bang approximately 13.7 billion years ago. http://www.huliq.com/11/77485/cosmologists-aim-observe-first-moments-universe#comments Science Cosmics Universe Mon, 16 Feb 2009 09:15:41 -0600 harminka 77485 at http://www.huliq.com
