Starry tail tells tale of dwarf galaxy evolution: Research
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
A giant diffuse tail of stars has been discovered emanating from a large, faint dwarf galaxy. The presence of a tail indicates that the galaxy has experienced recent interaction with another galaxy. This is an important clue for understanding how so-called "ultra-diffuse" galaxies are formed

Researchers explain how were galaxies much different in the early universe
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
The most sensitive telescope now searching for radio signals from cosmic dawn, an era around 200 million years after the Big Bang when stars ignited, has doubled its sensitivity, a new paper reports. While not yet detecting this radiation, the redshifted 21-centimeter line they have put new

Meteorite hunters find 17-pound space rock in Antarctica
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Antarctica is a tough place to work, for obvious reasons it's bitterly cold, remote, and wild. However, it's one of the best places in the world to hunt for meteorites. That's partly because Antarctica is a desert, and its dry climate limits the degree of weathering the meteorites experience

Scientists explain the mechanism of cosmic magnetic fields explored in the
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Recent research shows that magnetic fields can spontaneously emerge in plasma if the plasma has a temperature anisotropy. This mechanism is known as the Weibel instability. This new research is the first to unambiguously observe the Weibel instability in the laboratory. It offers a possible
