Collision or merger of two galaxies, mostly one large galaxy and several small ones is common in the Universe. Astronomers have also observed some major mergers among the pair of galaxy similar in size.
But, US team of astronomers observed one of..

The satellite data as observed by XMM-Newton and NASA's Chandra X-ray had led Renato Dupke and his colleagues from the University of Michigan witness the merger of two galaxies at speed of more than 2,000 miles per second.
This collective...
Universe as I always say is a cloud of mysteries and not many of these have yet been answered by astronomers. To answer these questions one has to go back in time. No, I am not talking about a time machine, as the best way to go back in time is to...
Researchers involved with AEGIS have carefully selected 544 distant galaxies to learn how galaxies take their mature forms.
Galaxies are born small and eventually grow when they start taking a mature form.
The galaxies that are examined weigh.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has shot an image of a diverse cluster of galaxies called the Abell S0740.
The cluster shows images that are around 450 million light-years from earth and in constellation Centaurus.
At the center of the...
Astronomers at the SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research have made observations with the ESA's XMM-Newton X-Ray observatory and have concluded that our Universe is 1.5 times richer in than previously expected.
Our body elements that...
We all know that the visible part of the universe that is the stars, gases, planets and galaxies account for only one-sixth of the universe. The rest part of the universe is unseen.
The rest of the universe is all dark matter that does not emit or.
No doubt, Hubble still dominates with its presence in the outer space but Mars rovers and ISS have also thrilled us with images out of this world. With all these space shuttles and satellites orbiting the extremes of our solar system staring at the...
One of the most commonly asked questions our scientists receive is about the existence of life elsewhere in our universe. But answering a straight forward YES or NO, scientist community prefer to say if there is water or atmosphere or in other...
One of the great scientific instruments of all time, which has given the clearest pictures of galaxies forming in the very early universe, is looking straight into the eyes of the scientists for help. Its fate will be decided after the announcement...
