The Hubble Space Telescope has captured new images that led astronomers in assembling a comprehensive picture of the evolving universe. It also led them to see some insights into how the Milkyway Galaxy evolved and developed. Hubble Space Telescope is 24-year old, yet it offered some clearest images of the development of Milkyway Galaxy. These colourful deep space images ever captured … [Read more...]
Scientists discover evidence for universe’s early growth spurt
Scientist have discovered evidence that a split-second after the Big Bang, the newly formed universe underwent a fast and incomprehensibly massive growth spurt in its earliest infancy. Experts are of the view that if confirmed, the discovery would be a major advance in the understanding of the early universe. The study emerged after researchers peered into the faint light that remains from … [Read more...]
Oldest star in the universe found!
It’s seems like the ultimate age barrier has been broken. The oldest living star formed only one or two hundred million years after the Big bang itself may have been discovered. Born some 13.6 billion years ago, the ancient star offers a unique view into what the universe looked like soon after its birth and bests the previous record handily, by 400 million years. According to the lead author … [Read more...]
Universe’s early galaxies spread out and grow through collisions
Scientists have been inquisitive about enormously massive galaxies that were already old and no longer forming new stars in the very early universe, approx. 3 billion years after the Big Bang. By arraying NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and Europe's Herschel Space Observatory, the mystery surrounding the evolution of compact elliptical galaxies, have been solved. Now new research from the … [Read more...]
