... 2007 October 8 . Galaxy NGC 474: Cosmic Blender . ... Explanation: What's happening to galaxy NGC 474? The multiple layers of emission appear strangely complex and unexpected given the relatively featureless appearance of the elliptical galaxy in less deep images. ... Alternatively the shells may be like ripples in a pond, where the ongoing collision with the spiral galaxy to the right of NGC 474 is causing density waves to ripple though the galactic giant. ...

... STScI-PRC95-02 HUBBLE VIEWS A STARRY RING WORLD BORN IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION [Right] - A rare and spectacular head-on collision between two galaxies appears in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope true-color image of the Cartwheel Galaxy, located 500 million light-years away in the constellation Sculptor. The new details of star birth resolved by Hubble provide an opportunity to study how extremely massive stars are born in large fragmented gas clouds. ...

... If you stand in a very dark spot on a moonless night, you might see a faint fuzzy glow stretching across the sky, with a glowing milky-white bulge. This is our Galaxy, the Milky Way. ... But what is the glowing bulge at its centre? ... He was astonished to see that it is actually made up of millions of stars! ... This bulge is the busy heart of our galaxy. ... However, there is a type of light that can travel through cosmic dust, this light is called infrared . ...

... 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. ...

The Big Bang was not an explosion from a single point, with a center and an edge. ... Each dot represents a "galaxy". Two of the galaxies have a ring of red photons moving out from them. Most of the photons are cosmic microwave background photons that were present since the Big Bang but which have been traveling freely only since 0.0003 Gyr after the Big Bang. ... However, all parts of the Universe started with CMBR photons, not just the two green galaxies. ... FAQ | ...

. ZFOURGE and ZFIRE are deep near-IR surveys that track how galaxies assemble over cosmic time. ZFOURGE identifies approximately 30,000 galaxies up to redshifts of z~7 using a custom set of medium-band near-IR filters that provide high precision photometric redshifts. ZFIRE selects galaxies from ZFOURGE for spectroscopic follow-up with Keck/MOSFIRE to measure how baryons cycle between stars, winds, and the Inter-Stellar Medium at z~2. Here I summarize our results that include stellar mass functions at 0.5 .
