Black holes have baffled scientists for a long time. The dense mass of the dead star that has is dense enough to gobble huge planets and stars. Recently astronomers have discovered a powerful black hole blasting a galaxy.
Astronomers have earlier..
Google is reaching everywhere from Earth to Sky. Now the California web giant, Google is casting its net across the rest of the universe as well. Google has launched a new service, called Sky within Google Earth , which will allow users to view...
NASA's Swift satellite and Japan's Suzaku X-ray observatory claimed to have discovered a new class of active galactic nuclei (AGN).
AGN is distinguished from common galaxies as class, most luminous in the universe, such as quasars, blazars, and...
The nearby Virgo cluster of galaxies, nearly 1,000 times fainter than the dark night sky is for the first time captured in its deepest wide-field image. It directly reveals a vast, complex web of 'intracluster starlight' filling the space between the...
Do you know that galactic mergers keep a galaxy growing! A big galaxy is created with the merger of two galaxies along with several stars. But, a big question arises about the two super massive black holes that are lurking in the heart of galaxies....
Scientists have long been trying to understand the large-scale structures of universe and for that no doubt massive galaxy clusters and the massive galaxies needs to be studied. That was what the scientists were doing up to recently, but...
The bulge of our galaxy is an intense source of gamma-ray line, indicating the production of a large number of positrons that annihilate. A controversial study of mysterious surplus of energetic particles called cosmic rays strikes the Earth. The...
A huge number of molecules have been discovered in the interstellar medium, most of them in the dense molecular clouds. Astronomers have discovered the first negatively charged molecule in space, identifying it from radio signals that were a mystery..
It was long ago when the life sprout on Earth, we all know that but now the scientists know when exactly it happened. It was the stellar baby boom period of the Milky Way that sparked a flowering and crashing of life here on Earth.
Frenzied...
As observations reach all the way into the central bulge of our galaxy, the finding opens up a new area of investigation for space scientists probing extrasolar planets -- planets that orbit stars other than our own. Astronomers have spotted 202...
