... Luminous blue variable (LBV) stars are the most massive stars with 40-120 solar masses, which are passing the short stage of evolution losing their hydrogen envelopes before exploding as Supernovae. These are extremely rare objects, only about a dozen of the most massive LBVs are known in the Galaxy. ... In the spectral observations of stars with infrared circular nebulae, found in the Spitzer survey (24 microns), a new LBV star in the Galaxy was discovered. It was named MN112. ...

... The remote area was formed very early, at a time when the Universe was a fifth of its present age and the presence of the galaxy string defies existing models, which can not explain how a string this big could have formed so long ago. ... The simulations tell us that you cannot take the matter in the early Universe and line it up in strings this large," Dr Francis said. ... But in the early Universe, most galaxies had not yet formed, and most dark matter clouds will not yet contain a galaxy. ...

Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics- Syberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science, Novosibirsk State University, Novosibirsk State Technical University, Samara State Aerospace University (SSAU) and Image Processing Systems Institute (IPSI) of the Russian Academy of Science, became the first people in the world obtained terahertz non-diffractive twisted Bessel beams and used them for the first time the formation of surface electromagnetic waves on the metal surface. ...

The completion of the 12-mm and 3-mm receiver systems on the Compact Array has secured two new astronomical windows into the southern skies. ... These include investigating the molecular gas reservoirs in and around galaxies in the very distant (high redshift) universe. ... Northern hemisphere millimetre interferometers have already observed molecular gas and dust in a handful of high-redshift radio galaxies, confirming that these objects are still forming the bulk of their stars. ...
