One way to find this out it to look for glowing hydrogen , a material common to hot star-forming regions . To find large areas of glowing hydrogen , the Hubble Space Telescope 's NICMOS instrument surveyed about 100 nearby spiral galaxies . Six of these galaxies are shown above: NGC 5653, NGC 3593, NGC 891 , NGC 6946, NGC 4826 , and NGC 2903. ... About APOD > . ...

... NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has provided a never-before-seen view of a warped disk flooded with a torrent of ultraviolet light from hot gas trapped around a suspected massive black hole. ... This composite image of the core of the galaxy was constructed by combining a visible light image taken with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2), with a separate image taken in ultraviolet light with the Faint Object Camera (FOC). ...

A Canadian and American team of Astronomers have used the 305-m wide Arecibo radio dish, the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope, to uncover a dozen new super-fast-spinning pulsars. The team directed their search for these rare and exotic stars by pointing the Arecibo radio telescope towards massive star clusters, called Globular Clusters, orbiting our Milky Way galaxy. ... One of the most exotic residents in the Globular cluster system are the millisecond pulsars. ...

... All previous such superstars have been found along with many companion stars in the centres of crowded star clusters. The star is known as VFTS 682 from the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey catalogue of the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) located at Paranal in Chile by means of the attached FLAMES instrument. ... Although VFTS 682 seems to be alone now it is not very far away from a very rich star cluster known as RMC 136 that contains several similar superstars. ...

So how do we find objects on the other side of the Universe? ... The latest instruments enable us to scan large areas of sky. Using Cerro Tololo's Blanco 4m telescope and the Canada-France-Hawaii 3.5 metre telescope , we are able to scan a piece of sky larger than the size of the moon every 5 minutes to a faintness level which allows us to find Type Ia supernovae halfway across the Universe. Type Ia supernovae are very rare - but each image we take contains 50000 galaxies. ...
