It is as humbling as it is motivating to think about how much we still have to learn about the universe. My collaborators and I have just tackled one of astrophysics’ enduring mysteries: how massive elliptical galaxies can form. Now, for the first time, we have solid... by admin | Dec 2, 2024 | Black holes, Galaxies, Galaxy, Little Red Dots, Nasa, News, space, Space News, The Conversation
Astronomers exploring the faraway universe with the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA’s most powerful telescope, have found a class of galaxies that challenges even the most skillful creatures in mimicry – like the mimic octopus. This creature can impersonate other... by admin | Oct 7, 2024 | Big Bang, Galaxies, James Webb Telescope, Nasa, News, space, Space News, The Conversation

Quasars are luminous objects in the night sky powered by gas falling into a... by admin | Feb 24, 2023 | Galaxies, James Webb, Nasa, News, Space News, The Conversation
“Look at this,” says Erica’s message. She is poring over the very first images from the brand new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). It is July 2022, barely a week after those first images from the revolutionary super telescope were released. Twenty-five years in the... by admin | Nov 6, 2022 | Galaxies, Nasa, News, Other Tech News, space, Space News, Telescopes, The Conversation
An enormous neutrino observatory buried deep in the Antarctic ice has discovered only the second extra-galactic source of the elusive particles ever found. In results published today in Science, the IceCube collaboration reports the detection of neutrinos from an...
