| Milky Way ransacks nearby dwarf galaxies Posted: 15 Oct 2014 12:25 PM PDT Astronomers have discovered that our nearest galactic neighbors, the dwarf spheroidal galaxies, are devoid of star-forming gas, and that our Milky Way Galaxy is to blame. |
| Astronomers spot faraway Uranus-like planet: First 'ice giant' planet found in another solar system Posted: 15 Oct 2014 07:13 AM PDT Our view of other solar systems just got a little more familiar, with the discovery of a planet 25,000 light-years away that resembles our own Uranus. Astronomers have discovered hundreds of planets around the Milky Way, including rocky planets similar to Earth and gas planets similar to Jupiter. But there is a third type of planet in our solar system -- part gas, part ice -- and this is the first time anyone has spotted a twin for our so-called "ice giant" planets, Uranus and Neptune. |
| Construction secrets of a galactic metropolis: APEX reveals hidden star formation in protocluster Posted: 15 Oct 2014 06:22 AM PDT Astronomers have used the APEX telescope to probe a huge galaxy cluster that is forming in the early Universe and revealed that much of the star formation taking place is not only hidden by dust, but also occurring in unexpected places. This is the first time that a full census of the star formation in such an object has been possible. |
