In November 1572, Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe saw (or thought he saw) a brand new star in the Cassiopeia constellation, without even using a telescope. In fact, it was a supernova, the violent death of a star, and it was shining so bright that it was visible in broad daylight and even outshone Venus at some point. ... |

So far, this seems to be the dimmest galaxy in the universe ever discovered. Shining only with the brightness of less than 350 suns, which is very little for an entire galaxy, it is believed to be filled with dark mater in enormous quantities. Segue 1, as it is called, is one of only about 2 dozen dwarf galaxie... |

She is about the size of a cat. With a height of just 1ft 11 in (58 cm), Jyoti Amge is dwarfed even by an one year old toddler (which may be over 75 cm (2.5 ft) tall and weigh over 10 kg (22 pounds), on average), but this girl is 15 years old. The Indian Book of Records registered her as the world's smallest gir... |

Galaxies that formed only one billion years after the Big Bang reveal that the presence of dark matter is essential in constructing a new model of the universe. Computer simulations of the interaction between ordinary and dark matter expose violent but rather critical interactions, which are mostly being ignored in t... |

Einstein's famous quote: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe" is not exactly accurate. He wasn't sure of another thing, the existence of the gravitational waves.In fact, he repeatedly changed his mind regarding the existence of this phenomeno... |

Not all stars end in a supernova, but those which do produce one of the most impressive and mysterious phenomena of the Universe, which, although intensively studied in the last decades, is far from being completely understood.A team of scientists at the European Southern Observatory now say they found out what fuel... |

Astronomers have recently analyzed the chemical composition of distant stars and discovered intriguing evidence of pollution on their surface, caused by the planets orbiting them. It seems that dwarf stars display iron enrichment on their surface, most likely caused by planetary debris thrown in space and falling o... |

The earliest recorded supernova, SN 185, was viewed by Chinese astronomers in 185 AD. Modern day scientists think they have pretty much figured its formation mechanisms. But it seems the Universe still holds some surprises.For the first time, NASA's Swift satellite observed two supernovae faring up in a distan... |

Have you ever looked at the sky at night and found the famous band of stars called the Milky Way? Probably, but did you notice it's tilted at an angle? Well, this thing really puzzled astronomers for quite some time.That's because what you saw is actually our galaxy itself, seen from the side. The classica... |

Pluto is the ninth planet of our solar system, the smallest and the farthest. No, wait, it's not a planet anymore. Trouble never seems to end for this little fellow, after the "embarrassment" of being degraded to a lower rank.The former planet has been dissed again. As it turns out, it's not even the bigge... |

An international team of astronomers has recently performed the most possibly detailed study of a giant pulsating red star and its environment, in an effort to improve our understanding of the processes of a star's death.The analysis focused on three layers of the outer envelope of the red giant: the maser shel... |

A dwarf galaxy is a small galaxy composed of up to several billion stars, a small number compared to our own Milky Way's 200-400 billion stars. These small galaxies frequently orbit around larger galaxies, such as the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy.NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope ... |

Astronomers discovered a new dwarf galaxy formed in a region of space outside our system, which is falling into our "Local Group." It's the first time when such an event has been recorded and it's considered a vital clue on the formation processes of galaxies.The Local Group is the group of galaxies that ... |

Until now, scientists have used various techniques to detect more than 200 exoplanets. Most of these exoplanets are from five to 4,000 times more massive than Earth, and are too hot, too cold or too much of a giant gas ball to be considered likely habitats for life. So far, no one has managed to capture an image of ... |

Brown dwarfs are not fully understood stars and the latest observations confirmed this by photographing such a star throwing jets of matter, a process characteristic of young stars. So, it would seem that these dwarfs follow a similar formation pattern to the one of normal stars, but outflows are driven out by these... |

The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar has just been released a week ago, set in a fictional fantasy universe created by J. R. R. Tolkien, Middle-Earth. The MMO allows marriages between characters and even between those of the same sex, but all this is about to change, as Turbine designer Nik Davidson told ... |

At the center of the Milky Way galaxy, about 26,000 light years away, there is a supermassive black hole estimated to have a mass equal to about 4 million suns.A few bright stars are known to orbit very close to it, and WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles) may concentrate near this black hole. These particle... |

Diamond is the hardest known natural material, with exceptional hardness and high dispersion of light, that makes it useful for industrial applications, but mostly for jewelry.They are generally small and naturally occur in perfect to semiperfect octahedra, that is a three dimensional geometrical object that has eig... |
