This new Hubble atlas dramatically illustrates how galaxy collisions produce a remarkable variety of intricate structures in never-before-seen detail. http://hypography.com/thumbnail.php?file=galaxies_216162632.jpg&size=summary_medium 0 http://hypography.com/news/astronomy/35499.html Astronomy news Wed, 16 Apr 2008 04:39:00 -0700 "Earth's magnetotail extends well beyond the orbit of the Moon and, once a month, the Moon orbits through it," says Tim Stubbs, a University of Maryland scientist working at the Goddard Space Flight Center. "This can have consequences ranging from lunar 'dust storms' to electrostatic discharges." http://hypography.com/thumbnail.php?file=Ehsan_Rostamizadeh1_551323979.jpg&size=summary_medium 0 http://hypography.com/news/astronomy/35495.html Astronomy news Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:18:00 -0700 A team of scientists have created a simulation which shows three black holes colliding. The results hint at gravity waves and evidence of black holes. http://hypography.com/thumbnail.php?file=blackholemerger_313964112.jpg&size=summary_medium 1 http://hypography.com/news/astronomy/35493.html Astronomy news Mon, 07 Apr 2008 18:19:00 -0700 XMM-Newton has been surprised by a rare type of galaxy, from which it has detected a higher number of X-rays than thought possible. The observation gives new insight into the powerful processes shaping galaxies during their formation and evolution. http://hypography.com/thumbnail.php?file=quasar_662131116.jpg&size=summary_medium 0 http://hypography.com/news/astronomy/35487.html Astronomy news Tue, 01 Apr 2008 08:22:00 -0700 A black hole that is less than 4 times as massive as the Sun, and barely 15 miles across, has been discovered by NASA astronomers. http://hypography.com/thumbnail.php?file=tiny_black_hole_214007603.jpg&size=summary_medium 0 Hypography - Science for everyone
