Scientists have long been studying that thing called dark matter. Now with the cluster collisions in the galaxy, a new light dawns in the quest for learning more about the dark matter.

NASA Hunting Universe’s Oldest Light Using ALMA Astrological Interferometer

Feb 21, 2017

Big-Bang not only creates the universe but also produced some distinct phenomena like cosmic microwave background, which is a thermal radiation. It is also called the oldest light of universe that will help to detect unknown objects through the dense cluster of galaxies.

Brightest Galaxy Ever Discovered Could Contain 300 Trillion Suns

May 24, 2015

Scientists have discovered an ultra bright galaxy that while very far away at an estimated 12.5 billion light years, is still considered to be the most luminous galaxy every found in the universe and scientists believe it could contain more than 300 trillion suns.

Cause of Galactic Death: Strangulation

May 14, 2015

It's the ultimate whodunnit: what kills galaxies? A new study, published today in the journal Nature, names strangulation as the primary cause of galactic death.

Supernovae Dust ‘Goldmine’ Found at the Center of the Milky Way

Mar 22, 2015

One of the largest questions to date has been what building materials were present at the formation of our Milky Way galaxy? Astronomers have long theorized that the building material may have come from the death of supermassive stars, however, the galaxy-building dust is thought to burn up in a supernova like that. But now researchers are saying that may not be the case at all. In a new study published this week in the journal Science Express, researchers with Cornell University have made the first direct discovery of dust used to build the cosmos at the center of the Milky Way, and they believe it may have resulted from an ancient supernova.

First Ever Cosmic Dust Observations Made in the Center of the Galaxy

Mar 21, 2015

Astronomers have made the first ever observations of cosmic dust at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Striking It Rich in Supernovae Dust at the Center of the Milky Way Galaxy

Mar 19, 2015

It’s a tough job sifting through the data and the haze of the center of the Milky Way galaxy, but some astronomers have to do it. The time-consuming job often means having to peer into the center with aid of multiple telescopes, all giving you a different perspective at a different wavelength. It can be job of countless hours, with little to no reward, but when researchers find even cosmic dust, their studies can strike it rich.

Is the Galaxy Bigger Than We Thought?

Mar 11, 2015

The Milky Way Galaxy is huge with our small solar system acting as just a grain of sand of the giant beach that is the galaxy. NASA previously estimated that the galaxy spans approximately 100,000 light years across. With each light year representing about 6 trillion miles, we are talking about an almost unimaginable distance. If you think that's large, new research now suggests that the Milky Way could be 50,000 light years larger than previously thought.

Could Dark Matter and Black Holes Cause the Swirl In Your Galaxy?

Feb 21, 2015

Ever seen a snapshot of the universe and wondered just how and what makes the beautiful swirling shapes that modern telescopes now let us see? Imagery of the Horsehead Nebula, the Pillars of Creation, and even the Rose Galaxies have captivated researchers and the public for decades, but finding exactly what causes space dust, planets and stars to conform in such elegant forms has often eluded astronomers studying the infinite wonders of space. But a new study conducted by researchers with the Harvard University Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) reveals that the connection between collections of stars and the elliptical shapes of galaxies may have something to do with dark matter and the presence of black holes at the center of every galactic mass.

Cosmic Radio Burst Caught from Outside Our Galaxy

Jan 19, 2015

Astronomers in eastern Australia using the CSIRO's 64-m Parkes radio telescope have for the first time caught a "fast radio burst" live. A fast radio burst is a short, sharp flash of radio waves from an unknown source.
