... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

... Cross-shaped galaxy ZGC 2315+03 (Fig.1) has been described by Zwicky (1971) as ``post-eruptive or the result of the crossing of a compact galaxy through an edge-on spiral'' . This object was included in the Polar-Ring Catalog (C-71) by Whitmore et al. (1990) as a possible candidate for Polar-Ring Galaxies (PRG). ... One of them is galaxy 'disk' and the other is 'polar-ring'. ... The facts against the polar-ring nature of ZGC 2315+03 can be summarized as follows: . ...

... Astronomy news . ... NASA's Spitzer Images Out-of-This-World Galaxy . ... It is spiral-shaped like our Milky Way, with long, spindly arms of stars. The "eye" at the center of the galaxy is actually a monstrous black hole surrounded by a ring of stars. In this color-coded infrared view from Spitzer, the area around the invisible black hole is blue and the ring of stars, white. ... The ring around the black hole is bursting with new star formation. ...

An image of the grand design of spiral galaxy M100 obtained with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope resolves individual stars within the majestic spiral arms. ... Hubble has the ability to resolve individual stars in other galaxies and measure accurately the light from very faint stars. This makes space telescope invaluable for identifying a rare class of pulsating stars, called Cepheid Variable stars embedded within M100's spiral arms. ... 617) 495-7062 . Fax: (617) 495-7356 . ...

Astronomers at Armagh Observatory and Cardiff University have independently discovered new mechanisms by which micro-organisms may have spread throughout the Galaxy.

... A correlation between metal abundance and orbital elements (the eccentricity and angular momentum) has been found for three semples of disk stars of our Galaxy with abundance derived from detailed analysis. The correlation indicates that metal abundance in the Galaxy kept increasing after the birth of old disk stars and that the Galaxy kept collapsing during the formation of its disk subsystems. ...

... We have calculated the binary coalescence rate with time using the ``Scenario Machine'' code, which allows us to simulate evolution of large ensembles of binary stars in an artificial galaxy using a Monte Carlo method (see Lipunov 1992, Lipunov et al 1994, 1995 and references therein). ... The source evolution in a galaxy with given star formation rate is thus calculated as , where is the redshift at the turn-on of star formation, which is the second important parameter of the model. ...

... We consider the astrophysical evolution of the Galaxy over large time scales, from early stages (an age of ~10 8 yrs) to the end of traditional stellar evolution (~10 11 yrs). ... In the model considered, the basic stages of Galactic evolution are as follows. ... Essentially all other basic parameters of the Galaxy vary little. ... The final "stellar epoch" in the life of the Galaxy is completed ~10 13 yrs after its formation, when the evolution of the least massive stars comes to an end. ...
