Nearest bright 'hypervelocity star' found
May 09, 2014 (SPX)
A University of Utah-led team discovered a "hypervelocity star" that is the closest, second-brightest and among the largest of 20 found so far. Speeding at more...
Neutron star magnetic fields: not so turbulent
May 08, 2014 (SPX)
Neutron stars, the extraordinarily dense stellar bodies created when massive stars collapse, are known to host the strongest magnetic fields in the universe -- ...
Galaxy's biggest telescope used to make precise measurement of spinning star
May 08, 2014 (SPX)
An international team of astronomers has made a measurement of a distant neutron star that is one million times more precise than the previous world's best. The...
Planck Takes Magnetic Fingerprint of Our Galaxy
May 08, 2014 (JPL)

After more than ten years of studying the Universe, the Canadian Microvariability and Oscillation of STars (MOST) mission will come to an end on September 9, 20...
Gamma-ray burst challenges particle acceleration theories
May 06, 2014 (SPX)
For the first time circular polarisation has been observed in the afterglow of a Gamma-ray burst (GRB) - the explosive death of a massive star. The light from t...
NASA Black Brant IX suborbital sounding rocket successfully launched
May 06, 2014 (SPX)

Say hello to our new close - but cold - neighbour in space
May 06, 2014 (SPX)
Author Douglas Adams famously had his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy remark that "space is really big". But to my mind the sheer vastness of space is better e...
Shockwave findings set to rewrite scientific theories
May 02, 2014 (SPX)
Research from an international team of scientists led by the University of Leicester has discovered for the first time that one of the most powerful events in o...
Entire Star Cluster Thrown Out of its Galaxy
May 02, 2014 (SPX)
The galaxy known as M87 has a fastball that would be the envy of any baseball pitcher. It has thrown an entire star cluster toward us at more than two million m...
A 'wimpy' dwarf fossil galaxy reveals new facts about early universe
May 02, 2014 (SPX)
Out on the edge of the universe, 75,000 light years from us, a galaxy known as Segue 1 has some unusual properties: It is the faintest galaxy ever detected. It ...
Well-behaved, Young Galaxy Surprises Astronomers
May 01, 2014 (SPX)
Scientists have discovered a young galaxy acting in unexpectedly mature ways. The galaxy, called S0901, is rotating in a calm manner typical of more developed g...
Cosmic illusion revealed: Gravitational lens magnifies supernova
Apr 29, 2014 (SPX)
A team of researchers led by Robert Quimby at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) has announced the discovery of a ...
Star Is Discovered To Be a Close Neighbor of the Sun and the Coldest of Its Kind
Apr 29, 2014 (SPX)
A "brown dwarf" star that appears to be the coldest of its kind -- as frosty as Earth's North Pole -- has been discovered by a Penn State University astronomer ...
Professional and Amateur Astronomers Join Forces
Apr 27, 2014 (SPX)
Long before the term "citizen science" was coined, the field of astronomy has benefited from countless men and women who study the sky in their spare time. Thes...
A study in scarlet
Apr 19, 2014 (SPX)
This area of the southern sky, in the constellation of Centaurus (The Centaur), is home to many bright nebulae, each associated with hot newborn stars that form...
Searching for dark energy with neutrons
Apr 19, 2014 (SPX)
All the particles we know to exist make up only about five per cent of the mass and energy of the universe. The rest - "Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy" - remains...
Pushy neighbors force stellar twins to diverge
Apr 16, 2014 (SPX)
Much like an environment influences people, so too do cosmic communities affect even giant dazzling stars: Peering deep into the Milky Way galaxy's center from ...
