... Galaxies are collections of hundreds of billions of stars. ... Astronomers have believed this for a while, but itтАЩs been very difficult to prove. ... ItтАЩs like looking for water thrown from a bucket into a pond. ... But astronomers have now come up with a very clever way to spot a galaxy that has been eaten. They look at clouds of cosmic gas and dust called planetary nebulae . ... Astronomers looked at 300 planetary nebulae inside this galaxy and found that it has a dark secret. ...

... 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 | ...

... When the strip that contained the galaxy was bandpass corrected, a negative image of the galaxy was present for the entire strip. ... If a continuum source drifted through the beam during this time, the cal deflection would be contaminated. ... The continuum source peaks at strip sample 67. ... You could take more samples (a longer strip) or remove the continuum sources before computing the bandpass correction. ... Top image. ... The bandpass correction does not contain any of the continuum source. ...

... Embedded within this view are 2,753 star clusters. The view is 61,600 light-years across and contains images of 117 million stars in the galaxy's disk. Bottom-Left] An enlargement of the boxed field in the top image reveals myriad stars and numerous open star clusters as bright blue knots. Hubble's bird's-eye view of M31 allowed astronomers to conduct a larger-than-ever sampling of star clusters that are all at the same distance from Earth, 2.5 million light-years. ...
