Galaxy Evolution Seen in Action Posted: 2 years ago by AutumnLotus
Recently, two groups of astronomers were able to see two classes of unique galaxies from the early universe. One group glimpsed galaxies that looked old even when the universe was young, suggesting they must have been some of the first galaxies to form after the birth of the universe. The other group found galaxies dating from the strongest burst of star formation in the universe.

Astronomers Find Enormous Hole in the Universe Posted: 2 years ago by AutumnLotus
Astronomers have found an enormous hole in the Universe, nearly a billion light-years across, empty of both normal matter such as stars, galaxies, and gas, and the mysterious, unseen "dark matter." While earlier studies have shown holes, or voids, in the large-scale structure of the Universe, this new discovery dwarfs them all.

The Universe Within Posted: 2 years ago by wags273
View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

Frozen Universe in the past Posted: 7 months ago by kakana
A cosmological phase transition – similar to freezing – is one of the distinctive aspects of this latest effort to account for dark energy – the mysterious negative force that cosmologists now think makes up more than 70 percent of all the energy and matter in the universe and is pushing the universe apart at an ever-faster rate.

Dark Ages Lunar Interferometer - Seeing The Beginning Of The Universe Posted: 2 years ago by AutumnLotus
If participants in the Dark Ages Lunar Interferometer study have their way, a telescope on the moon will allow astronomers to see 'back in time' and study the young Universe during the first 100 million years of its existence.

Old galaxies stick together in the young universe Posted: 2 years ago by AutumnLotus
UK astronomers have developed the most sensitive infrared map of the distant universe ever produced, revealing the origins of the most massive galaxies in the cosmos. Using images obtained with the United Kingdom Infra-Red Telescope (UKIRT), astronomers combined data over a period of three years. This produced a map encompassing more than 100,000 galaxies over an area of sky four times the size of the full moon.

Time To Hit the Panic Button: Universe Ending Faster Than Expected Posted: 2 months ago by bingo
The entropy of the universe may be 100 times worse than expected. Ron Cowen writes in Science News that recent research suggests that the universe will degrade faster physicists had previously thought.
I know nothing about physics, therefore I propose that people take alarmist, unjustified responses to this disastrous news.

Rewritten Theories About Our Universe Posted: 2 years ago by niceplime
Since our race was born, we tried to understand things like why we are alive, if the earth is flat or round or if the universe is infinite. Different theories were created and years after corrected..........

A Universe Of Your Very Own Posted: 1 year ago by pocksucket
Far from being unique, there's something of a surplus of Universes hanging about due to a loophole in the laws of Quantum Physics. Now you can own one of these universes for the bargain price of $9999. That can't be a bad deal. If you own the entire universe that includes the $9999 you paid for it.

Litterbugs of the Universe Busted Posted: 2 years ago by AutumnLotus
Dust littered the early universe and seeded the formation of rocky planets such as the Earth. Astronomers have found 10,000 Earth masses worth of dust surrounding Cassiopeia A, the remnants of a supernova about 11,000 light-years away from our planet. The NASA Spitzer Space Telescope observations show silicates, carbon, iron oxide, aluminum oxide and other dust-forming chemicals around the blown-out star.

Rare 'Star-Making Machine' Found in Distant Universe Posted: 1 year ago by AutumnLotus
Astronomers have uncovered an extreme stellar machine -- a galaxy in the very remote universe pumping out stars at a surprising rate of up to 4,000 per year. In comparison, our own Milky Way galaxy turns out an average of just 10 stars per year.

Understanding our neighbourhood in the universe Posted: 2 years ago by AutumnLotus
With its powerful detectors, Integral has performed the most-sensitive all-sky survey ever, finding expected clumpy areas at large scales in our local universe. Scientists working with ground-based telescopes have found the same local clumps, while looking for sources of cosmic showers.

GalaxyZoo finds most galaxies in universe are left-handed Posted: 2 years ago by AutumnLotus
Preliminary results from the volunteers indicate that the universe possesses the property called “handedness.” That is, most galaxies seem to be left-handed, or prefer to rotate counterclockwise when looked at from our position on the planet Earth.
