Unlocking Galactic Mysteries, Star Formation, Dark Matter (1/16/2008)

Unlocking Galactic Mysteries, Star Formation, Dark MatterAstronomers have produced a scientific gold mine of detailed, high-quality images of nearby galaxies that is yielding important new insights into many aspects of galaxies, including their complex structures, how they form stars, the motions of gas in the galaxies, the relationship of "normal" matter to unseen "dark matter," and many others. ...> Full Article


The secret life of galaxies (1/15/2008)

Looking up at the night sky you could be forgiven for believing that the sedate progress of the stars across the firmament belies the serene nature of galaxies. But a closer look at our celestial neighbours reveals that the reality is very different. ...> Full Article


Hubble Telescope Helps Physicists Find 'Double Einstein Ring' (1/12/2008)

Hubble Telescope Helps Physicists Find 'Double Einstein Ring'NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a never-before-seen optical alignment in space: a pair of glowing rings, one nestled inside the other like a bull's-eye pattern. The double-ring pattern is caused by the complex bending of light from two distant galaxies strung directly behind a foreground massive galaxy, like three beads on a string. ...> Full Article


Astronomer Produces First Detailed Map of Dark Matter in a Supercluster (1/12/2008)

Astronomer Produces First Detailed Map of Dark Matter in a SuperclusterFor the first time astronomers are able to see indirect evidence of dark matter and how this invisible force impacts on the crowded and violent lives of galaxies. University of British Columbia researcher Catherine Heymans has produced the highest resolution map of dark matter ever captured before. ...> Full Article


Dark matter powered the first stars, physicists speculate (12/16/2007)

The first stars to form in the early universe may have been "dark stars" fueled by an altogether different engine than the stars visible in the night sky now, according to a team of physicists that includes professor Katherine Freese of the University of Michigan. ...> Full Article
