... ESO, the European Southern Observatory . ... Survey Telescopes . ... Galaxies . ... This zoom on the location of the distant galaxy SMM J2135-0102 reveals how it was first discovered by astronomers observing a massive galaxy cluster using submillimetre wavelengths of light, with the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) telescope. ... A further zoom shows how follow-up observations with the Submillimeter Array (also in red) revealed the clouds where stars are forming in the galaxy with great...

... Astronomers at the US DOE?s Berkeley Lab have found the most distant Type 1a supernova ever. б SN SCP-0401 is roughly 10 billion light-years away from Earth. б That means the supernova happened 10 billion years ago. б Given that Big Bang theory estimates the universe being created roughly 13.77 billion years ago, the discovery of SN SCP-0401 is particularly exciting. ... Just like all living things stars have a life cycle. ...

... Hubble's Constant And The Expanding Universe (II) . ... Our Universe is expanding. ... Two groups of astronomers are searching vigorously for answers to these fundamental questions using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). ... These five pairs of Hubble Space Telescope images track some of Saturn's moons as they orbit the ringed planet. ... These Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images reveal glimpses of the dynamic atmosphere of Neptune, the Solar System's most distant gas giant planet. ...

... The search for distant objects which can be both galaxies and quasars is one of the most important problems of observational astrphysics, because it allows one to determine cosmological parameters connected with the time of appearence and evolution of stellar systems, large scale structure of the Universe. ... Radio galaxies are important objects to be studied because they are sources of infrared-optical-ultraviolet continuum, emission lines and continual radio emission. ...

... Our recent observations with the Hubble Space Telescope (August 29, 2014) led to revealing a highly isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxy KKs 3 situated at a distance of 2.12 0.07 Mpc from the Milky Way. The dSph galaxy locates on the southern sky (RA=02 h 24 m 44.4 s , Dec.= ... Over the last decade, about 30 dSph galaxies have been discovered inside the Local Group through systematic search in the vicinity of M31 and more that a dozen dSphs were discovered in the nearby group around M81. ...
