NASA's Hubble telescope catches star digesting companion

EU Times — Mon, 25 May 2015 12:36:44 +0000

Astronomers at NASA have used the Hubble Space Telescope to capture a very rare event: A star, dubbed ‘Nasty 1,’ cannibalizing another star nearby, and producing a giant, pancake-shaped gas disk in the process. The cannibal star, discovered several decades ago, was called “Nasty 1,” not only because its catalogue name of NaSt1, but also […]

Super-hungry black hole gobbles star at rate previously thought impossible

EU Times — Sat, 11 Oct 2014 22:06:02 +0000

An “ultraluminous” black hole P13 in a remote galaxy is consuming a gas cloud belonging to a neighboring star about ten times faster than scientists previously believed was possible. About 12 million light years from Earth, on the outskirts of the galaxy NGC 7793 the developments around a “luminous” black hole, known as P13, have […]

Our Milky Way Galaxy and neighboring Andromeda will collide - NASA

EU Times — Fri, 30 May 2014 22:10:15 +0000

A short time ago, in a galaxy very, very close by, a NASA satellite thought it detected a gamma ray burst in Andromeda. It was a false alarm, but astronomers used the opportunity as a reminder that “our galaxy and Andromeda are set for a head-on collision” even though it is widely accepted that galaxies […]

Australia’s SkyMapper telescope discovered oldest known star

EU Times — Mon, 10 Feb 2014 17:27:12 +0000

Australian astronomers are positive they’ve discovered the most ancient star to date. Being practically three times older than our Sun, the old-timer star could serve as a prototype system to explore matter metamorphose in the universe. Spectral analysis of the composition of the newly-discovered star shows it formed approximately 13.6 billion years ago, shortly after […]

Nasa's Voyager 1 on the verge of entering Interstellar Space

EU Times — Fri, 28 Jun 2013 17:55:50 +0000

Nasa’s Voyager 1 is on the verge of becoming the first human-made object to enter interstellar space, scientists say. First launched in 1977, the unmanned spacecraft has been in uncharted territory since last year. Scientists had been contemplating whether it may have already have left our solar system after recording dramatic changes in radiation levels. […]

Scientists discover black holes weighing 40 billion suns

EU Times — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 21:45:46 +0000

It turns out that the largest black holes may be even bigger than scientists previously thought. New research from NASA shows there are some real monsters out there, weighing the equivalent masses of 10 to 40 billion suns. Scientists refer to them as ‘ultramassive’ black holes, not to confuse them with ‘supermassive’ holes, with only […]

US Scientists say Earth may be the Only Planet with Life

EU Times — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:47:51 +0000

NASA has said there are ‘billions’ of planets in our own Milky Way galaxy – but a new study suggests that the idea that they are teeming with alien lifeforms may just be wishful thinking. Two Princeton scientists used what’s known as ‘Bayesian analysis’ – a technque that ‘boils down’ ideas to the actual data, […]

Tens of Billions of Potentially Habitable Planets in Our Galaxy

EU Times — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:31:02 +0000

Scientists have long assumed that the best chance of finding alien life in the universe is on planets similar to ours. The latest scientific discoveries show that there might be tens of billions of such planets in our galaxy alone. Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory in Chile came to these findings after studying more […]
