| Fermi satellite detects gamma-rays from exploding novae: Surprising discovery dispels long-held idea Posted: 31 Jul 2014 12:00 PM PDT Astronomers have discover very high energy gamma rays being emitted by an exploding star. The surprising discovery dispels the long-held idea that classical nova explosions are not powerful enough to produce such high-energy radiation. |
| Hubble shows farthest lensing galaxy yields clues to early universe Posted: 31 Jul 2014 08:09 AM PDT Astronomers have unexpectedly discovered the most distant galaxy that acts as a cosmic magnifying glass. Seen in a new image as it looked 9.6 billion years ago, this monster elliptical galaxy breaks the previous record holder by 200 million years. |
| Fossils could be discovered on the moon: Signs of ancient life may be littered across the moon Posted: 31 Jul 2014 07:10 AM PDT Physicists have tested what would happen if a piece of rock containing microscopic fossils from Earth was launched into space and hit the surface of the moon. The team turned fossil-filled rock into powder which was mixed with water and frozen to replicate a meteoroid. |
| Numerous unknown jets from young stars and planetary nebulae discovered Posted: 31 Jul 2014 06:51 AM PDT Preliminary research findings have identified hundreds of so far unknown jets from young stars, as well as numerous new planetary nebulae in the Galactic Plane. |
