Astronomers Simulate Life And Death In The Universe

By spaceman0 on  From explore-the-space.blogspot.com
Stars always evolve in the universe in large groups, known as clusters. Astronomers distinguish these formations by their age and size. The question of how star clusters are created from interstellar gas clouds and why they then develop in different ways has now been answered by researchers at the Argelander Institute for Astronomy at the University of Bonn with the aid of computer simulations. The scientists have solved -- at least at a theoretical level -- one of the oldest astronomical...Read Full Story

Glittering star cluster is galactic heavyweight

By spaceman0 on  From explore-the-space.blogspot.com
One of the galaxy's most massive young star clusters is revealed in a stunning new image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The cluster of thousands of stars lies 20,000 light years from Earth in the Carina spiral arm of our galaxy. It is embedded in a star-forming nebula called NGC 3603, a cloud of gas and dust with enough material to form 400,000 stars like the Sun. Watch a video zooming in on the star cluster's location in the sky by clicking on the image at right. Most of the bright stars...Read Full Story

Alien Invaders Pack The Milky Way

By RSDReports on  From robertstevenduncan.com
Around a quarter of the globular star clusters in our Milky Way galaxy are invaders from other galaxies, according to a team of scientists from Swinburne University of Technology in Australia. In a paper accepted for publication in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Swinburne astronomer Professor Duncan Forbes has shown that many of our galaxy’s globular star clusters are actually foreigners - having been born elsewhere and then migrated to our Milky Way. “It turns out that...Read Full Story

Astronomy: Screensaver

By Colin Jones Astronomy is the study of the universe. It is a serious science, but also a very pleasurable hobby. Therefore, whenever an astronomy picture of the day is offered to people, they usually grab it. There are plenty of such pictures to choose from, and plenty of interesting objects out there to keep people looking. NASA of course is a primary source for an astronomy picture of the day. This site NASA.gov shows a new image each and every day. There's also another section that shows...Read Full Story

Astronomy: Picture of the Day

By Colin Jones Astronomy is the study of the galaxies. Some astrologers practice it as a serious science while for others it is an educational hobby. For this reason, whenever an astronomy picture of the day is offered to the general public, people usually jump at the chance of looking at it. There are plenty of astronomical pictures to choose from, and plenty of interesting celestial objects to keep people enthralled. NASA of course is a primary source for an astronomy picture of the day...Read Full Story

Tokyo, japan (SPX) Feb 13, 2012 An international team of scientists led by David Martinez-Delgado (Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, Germany) has conducted research that reveals a "stealth merger" of dwarf galaxies, where an in-falling satellite galaxy is nearly undetectable by conventional means yet has a substantial influence on its host galaxy.

Explanation: Have you ever seen an aurora? Auroras are occurring again with increasing frequency. With the Sun being unusually dormant over the past four years, the amount of Sun-induced auroras has been unusually low. More recently, however, our Sun has become increasingly active and exhibiting a greater abundance of sunspots, flares, and coronal mass ejections. Solar activity like this typically expels charged particles into the Solar System...

Explanation: What's that in the sky? An aurora. A large coronal mass ejection occurred on our Sun five days ago, throwing a cloud of fast moving electrons, protons, and ions toward the Earth. Although most of this cloud passed above the Earth, some of it impacted our Earth's magnetosphere and resulted in spectacular auroras being seen at high northern latitudes. Pictured above is a particularly photogenic auroral corona captured last night...
