CWRU astronomers find new details in first known spiral galaxy
Feb 04, 2015 (SPX)
Case Western Reserve University astronomers peered deep into space to discover new features of a galaxy that's been sketched and photographed for 170 years. The...
'Live fast, die young' galaxies lose the gas that keeps them alive
Feb 03, 2015 (SPX)
Galaxies can die early because the gas they need to make new stars is suddenly ejected, research published this week suggests. Most galaxies age slowly as they ...
Could a new proposed particle help to detect dark matter?
Feb 01, 2015 (SPX)
Researchers at the University of Southampton have proposed a new fundamental particle which could explain why no one has managed to detect 'Dark Matter', the el...
CAT scan of nearby supernova remnant reveals frothy interior
Feb 01, 2015 (SPX)
Cassiopeia A, or Cas A for short, is one of the most well studied supernova remnants in our galaxy. But it still holds major surprises. Harvard-Smithsonian and ...
Galactic bubbles offer clues to dark matter
Jan 29, 2015 (SPX)
Compared to other galaxies, the Milky Way is a peaceful place. But it hasn't always been so sleepy. In 2010, a team of scientists working at the Harvard-Smithso...
What are yellowballs
Jan 29, 2015 (SPX)
Some four years ago, a citizen scientist helping the Milky Way Project study Spitzer Space Telescope images for the tell-tale bubble patterns of star formation ...
Russian Scientists Study Cosmic Dust at Unique Open-Air Lab in Antarctic
Jan 28, 2015 (Sputnik)
The laboratory, which is located inland near Russia's Vostok Station in Princess Elizabeth Land, Antarctic, will help scientists explore cosmic dust particles, ...
Stardust shows gold and uranium alchemy in stars less than expected
Jan 26, 2015 (SPX)
Researchers combing the ocean depths have made a surprising discovery about the frequency with which stars beyond our solar system produce special heavy element...
Scientists slow down light particles
Jan 23, 2015 (UPI)
The speed of light is a limit, not a constant -- that's what researchers in Glasgow, Scotland, say. A group of them just proved that light can be slowed down, p...
Ocean floor dust gives new insight into supernovae
Jan 21, 2015 (SPX)
Scientists plumbing the depths of the ocean have made a surprise finding that could change the way we understand supernovae, exploding stars way beyond our sola...
Snapshot of cosmic burst of radio waves
Jan 21, 2015 (SPX)
A strange phenomenon has been observed by astronomers right as it was happening - a 'fast radio burst'. The eruption is described as an extremely short, sharp f...
Unexplained cosmic radio burst captured in real-time
Jan 19, 2015 (UPI)
For the first time in history, a fast radio burst (FRB) was recorded in real-time. The massive (but quickly dissipating) burst of radio waves was captured by th...
Decoding the gravitational evolution of dark matter halos
Jan 14, 2015 (SPX)
Researchers at Kavli IPMU and their collaborators have revealed that considering environmental effects such as a gravitational tidal force spread over a scale m...
Photonic booms may help illuminate astronomical secrets
Jan 11, 2015 (SPX)
If you sweep a laser pointer across the Moon fast enough, you can create spots that actually move faster than light. Anyone can do it. At a meeting, this past w...

Jan 11, 2015 (SPX)
An international consortium, in which the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Ikerbasque and CSIC are participating, has published in a single article a...
Map of mysterious molecules sheds light on old puzzle
Jan 11, 2015 (SPX)
By analyzing the light of hundreds of thousands of celestial objects, Johns Hopkins astronomers from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) have created a unique m...
Disappearance of a Cosmic Spinning Top
Jan 09, 2015 (SPX)
Scientists measured the space-time warp in the gravity of a binary star and determined the mass of a neutron star - just before it disappeared. "Our result is i...
Assassin Targets Supernovae in Our Neighborhood
Jan 09, 2015 (SPX)
