But the problem turns out to be less mysterious than it once seemed. http://www.huliq.com/11/76255/new-study-resolves-mystery-how-massive-stars-form#comments Science massive stars star formation stars Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:27:02 -0600 harminka 76255 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/76132/even-stars-get-fat Researchers have discovered evidence that blue stragglers in globular clusters, whose existence has long puzzled astronomers, are the result of 'stellar cannibalism' in binary stars. In other words, binary stars are eating each other and turning into a blue straggler. http://www.huliq.com/11/76132/even-stars-get-fat#comments Science star clusters stars Thu, 15 Jan 2009 02:49:33 -0600 harminka 76132 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75570/cassiopeia-comes-alive-across-time-and-space Two new efforts have taken a famous supernova remnant from the static to the dynamic. A new movie of data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory shows changes in time never seen before in this type of object. A separate team will also release a dramatic three-dimensional visualization of the same remnant. http://www.huliq.com/11/75570/cassiopeia-comes-alive-across-time-and-space#comments Science planets stars supernova Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:11:03 -0600 harminka 75570 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75484/stars-forming-just-beyond-black-holes-grasp-galactic-center The center of the Milky Way presents astronomers with a paradox: it holds young stars, but no one is sure how those stars got there. The galactic center is wracked with powerful gravitational tides stirred by a 4 million solar-mass black hole. http://www.huliq.com/11/75484/stars-forming-just-beyond-black-holes-grasp-galactic-center#comments Science Galaxy Milky Way stars Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:07:18 -0600 harminka 75484 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75482/milky-way-swifter-spinner-more-massive-new-measurements-show Fasten your seat belts -- we're faster, heavier, and more likely to collide than we thought.

Enormous stars in 30 Doradus, also known as the Tarantula Nebula, are producing intense radiation and searing winds of multimillion-degree gas that carve out gigantic bubbles in the surrounding cooler gas and dust. http://www.huliq.com/11/74413/drama-heart-tarantula#comments Science stars Tarantula Nebula Thu, 11 Dec 2008 12:07:45 -0600 harminka 74413 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/74230/spotting-next-great-music-superstar For every rock star who hits it big, there are thousands of artists who never make it out of their own back yards.

Until Britney Spears became a global pop superstar, she performed in dance revues in her native Louisiana. http://www.huliq.com/11/74230/spotting-next-great-music-superstar#comments Society Celebrities Music stars Mon, 08 Dec 2008 14:40:26 -0600 harminka 74230 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/73406/mystery-missing-hydrogen Something vital is missing in the far distant reaches of the Universe: hydrogen - the raw material for stars, planets and possible life. http://www.huliq.com/11/73406/mystery-missing-hydrogen#comments Science hydrogen stars Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:07:32 -0600 harminka 73406 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/71411/good-vibrations-stars Did you know that the Sun is vibrating? It's very hard to see, but researchers who study the Sun can measure how strong those vibrations are. They can also tell how smooth the surface of the Sun is. But, until now, researchers have not been able to see any other stars in our solar system clearly enough to measure those kinds of things. http://www.huliq.com/11/71411/good-vibrations-stars#comments Science stars Universe Sun, 26 Oct 2008 08:32:53 -0500 harminka 71411 at http://www.huliq.com
