... On January 1, 1925, thirty-five-year-old Edwin Hubble announced findings that ultimately established that our universe was a thousand trillion times larger than previously believed, filled with myriad galaxies like our own. ... Six years later, continuing research by Hubble and others forced Albert Einstein to renounce his own cosmic model and finally accept the astonishing fact that the universe was not immobile but instead expanding. ...

... The department was founded in late sixties by Prof. D.Ya.Martynov, who for many years was also the director of Sternberg Astronomical Institute. At present time, the head of the department is Prof. A.M.Cherepashchuk, a pupil of D.Ya.Martynov and his successor as the director of SAI. Since Prof. Martynov, the scientific activity of the department was primarily related to binary stars. ... The department consists of 15 members most of which have Ph.D. in Astrophysics. ...

... We have used a coupled dynamical and chemical model to examine the chemical changes caused by the passage of a density wave propagating into the protostellar cloud. ... The chemical coupling between gas and dust causes locally increased number densities of active ra dicals, such as C, N, O, NH, and OH, and hydrogen saturated molecules CH 4 , NH 3 and H 2 O. We show that chemical evolution in the post-wave gas can account for the observed abundance of water and NH 3 observed in interstellar clouds. ...
