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/11/83331/how-early-stars-galaxies-formed Research by a Michigan State University scientist sheds new light on how stars and galaxies were formed back in the early days of the universe – some 13 billion years ago. http://www.huliq.com/11/83331/how-early-stars-galaxies-formed#comments Science Galaxy stars Fri, 10 Jul 2009 01:25:47 -0500 harminka 83331 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/83310/mystery-milky-way-galaxy-may-be-solved A team of astrophysicists has solved a mystery that led some scientists to speculate that the distribution of certain gamma rays in our Milky Way galaxy was evidence of a form of undetectable “dark matter” believed to make up much of the mass of the universe. http://www.huliq.com/11/83310/mystery-milky-way-galaxy-may-be-solved#comments Science Galaxy Milky Way Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:49:06 -0500 harminka 83310 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/11/77142/exceptionally-deep-view-strange-galaxy A spectacular new image of an unusual spiral galaxy in the Coma Galaxy Cluster has been created from data taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. It reveals fine details of the galaxy, NGC 4921, as well as an extraordinary rich background of more remote galaxies stretching back to the early Universe. http://www.huliq.com/11/77142/exceptionally-deep-view-strange-galaxy#comments Science Galaxy planets Thu, 05 Feb 2009 11:11:53 -0600 harminka 77142 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/76557/new-understanding-origin-galaxies-advanced A new theory as to how galaxies were formed in the Universe billions of years ago has been formulated by Hebrew University of Jerusalem cosmologists.
