Explore the ever happening world of multiple stars systems. Curious scientists are up with their gloves dissecting the outer world with new probes and discoveries. Here are some of the latest findings surprising and keeping the astronomers busy.

#1: Scientists probe black hole’s inner sanctum
A new study provides the best glimpse yet at the death spiral of material as it descends into the core of a galaxy hosting a large black hole. Barring obstructions, the galactic debris will take about 200,000 years to make a one-way trip through the inner regions of the galaxy and into oblivion, the study predicts’

#2: Massive star cluster found in Milky Way
They were the super-sized stars on the verge of exploding. A massive cluster of red supergiants was recently discovered in the Milky Way. Using infrared technology to penetrate the thick dust that cloaks much of the galaxy, a group of astronomers discovered it’

#3: Milky Way galaxy is warped and vibrating like a drum
Called the Magellanic Clouds, a pair of galaxies — most prominent of the Milky Way’s satellite galaxies appears to be interacting with the Milky Way’s ghostly dark matter to create a mysterious warp in the galactic disk. it has puzzled astronomers for half a century’

#4: Large survey of galaxies yields new findings on star formation
After a large survey of galaxies, new findings suggest that star formation is largely driven by the supply of raw materials, rather than by galactic mergers that trigger sudden bursts of star formation’

#5: ‘Mild’ collision spawned Earth’s moon
It is the longest and most detailed computer simulation ever done of the impact. It has been revealed that the collision that spawned the Earth’s moon was relatively mild. The research puts limits on the size and velocity of space rocks. It can lead to the formation of satellites in cosmic smash-ups!...

#6: After 3 Billion Miles, Craft Returns Sunday Bearing Cosmic Dust Older Than the Sun
It should be a spectacular homecoming at the end of the stretched out journey. Over seven years the Stardust spacecraft covered 2.88 billion miles. But, it is now, nearing home with its minute but precious cargo: samples of what are believed to be the oldest materials in the solar system’

#7: One-way trip into black hole takes 200,000 years
The journey probably takes about 200,000 years. It’s the one-way journey from the heart of a galaxy into the oblivion of a black hole, astronomers claim. By tracking the death spiral of cosmic gas at the center of a galaxy called NGC1097, scientists figured that material moving at 110,000 miles an hour would still take eons to cross into a black hole’

#8: There’s More to the North Star Than Meets the Eye
The steady, solitary point of light has been guiding sailors in ages past. But is it as steady as we see it from earth? I am talking about the North Star, Polaris. There is more to the North Star than meets the eye - two faint stellar companions. So, the North Star is actually a triple star system! And while one companion can be seen easily through small telescopes, the other hugs Polaris so tightly that it has never been seen directly - until now’

#9: Charon has no Atmosphere
Astronomers from MIT and Williams College fortunately watched Pluto’s moon Charon at the moment it passed in front of a very dim star. They were able to come up with a very accurate measurement of Charon’s size (606 km or 377 miles), by measuring how the light from this star dimmed as it passed behind the tiny, distant moon. According to them, the moon doesn’t have any appreciable atmosphere. They lend evidence that the moon was formed when something smashed into a proto-Pluto millions of years ago’1758
