What is around the black hole at the center of the milky Way?
to show this, scientists needed the help of a supercomputer, NASA in Addition to the great planets and other space objects galaxy's hiding in your center of a giant black hole, which is almost 5 million times more massive than our...
The five ages of the Universe: how we live and what does it mean?
Every living creature on the planet is born, grows up, gets older and eventually dies. All these laws apply beyond the Earth – stars, solar system and galaxy too, will eventually die. The difference exists only in time that for us...
Looking at pictures of distant galaxies obtained by the Hubble space telescope, we don't so often think about how beings are born, live and die, these parts of the cosmic web. In 1929, when Edwin Hubble radically changed our view ...
Galaxy without dark matter really exist?
Most of the matter in the Universe is hidden from our eyes and instruments. Moreover, the existence of mysterious dark matter and mysterious dark energy to date, has not been proven. Shortly after the Big Bang, about 14 billion ye...
Why are some galaxies spiral shaped?
you Know what surprised me the most? The fact that we perceive the surrounding world as it is. Animals, plants, the laws of physics and the cosmos are perceived by many people as something so mundane and boring that they invent fa...
Can our galaxy to be inside a huge bubble?
we May live in a bubble. But this is hardly the strangest thing that you've heard about our Universe. Now, among the innumerable theories and hypotheses, another one appeared. The new study is an attempt to resolve one of the most...
Astronomers have discovered the end of the milky Way galaxy and it's bigger than we thought
According to the results of a new study, our galaxy consists of dark matter halo that surrounds the disk of the milky Way. Recall that dark matter is the mysterious substance in the Universe that cannot be seen and which exists on...
A molecule of oxygen first discovered in another galaxy
In a distant galaxy at a distance of more than half a billion light years astronomers have found molecular oxygen. Despite the high prevalence in the Solar system that are important for the emergence of organic life element, the e...
It would look like our galaxy without dark matter?
Image of the galaxy with a complete lack of dark matter in it. Dark matter — the mysterious invisible substance that have a huge impact on the evolution of galaxies in the Universe. Despite the fact that mysterious “somethin...

XMM-2599 began as zvezdoobrazovaniya dusty massive galaxy in the early Universe the Titles of many of the world's media every day are full of reports about the mysterious death of a giant galaxy that has puzzled astronomers. The g...
How many are actually galaxies in the Local Group and what it says about the milky Way?
So look in the Virgo cluster. Our milky Way galaxy rotates inside the Local Group of galaxies in a relatively quiet area of space. A local Band called gravity associated galaxies, including the Andromeda Galaxy and Galaxy Triangle...
In the oldest regions of the galaxy discovered young stars
a Mysterious structure in gas and young stars stunningly beautiful, isn't it? Our galaxy is surrounded by halo of old stars and hot gas, which can cool down to a condition necessary for the formation of new stars. Nevertheless, in...
Scientists have discovered thousands of "foreign" stars in our galaxy
Our galaxy “eats” stars of the large and small Magellanic clouds Our milky Way is going how to eat several more smaller galaxies. Rather, it already does. As the portal , the researchers found several thousand odd stars on the edg...
Caught a mysterious radio signal from another galaxy
Scientists catch mysterious radio signal a recurring Series of radio signals coming from deep space, was discovered about 500 million light years from Earth. Coming from a huge spiral galaxy, fast radiospace, or FRB-signals were a...
#video | the Andromeda Galaxy was the same size as the milky Way
the Andromeda Galaxy was not so massive, as I thought experts All this time, astronomers believed that our nearest Andromeda galaxy about three times more massive than the milky Way. However, this assumption was incorrect. Thus, a...
Obtained a detailed picture of the magnetic field of the milky Way
milky way Galaxy our has its own magnetic field and it is very different from the Earth's magnetic field so much weaker than him. The study of magnetic fields in our galaxy will help to learn more about star formation, cosmic rays...
Supercluster of galaxies may be the reason for stopping star formation. Shortly after his birth, the universe was filled with gas, mostly hydrogen. Over time, gravity drew the gas up to the clouds, which turned into galaxies, whic...
Distant galaxies reveal the secret of the formation of stars in the Universe
