Galaxy cluster most distant from earth found
The most distant cluster of galaxies yet has been discovered by astronomers from the U.S., Europe and Chile
Universe re-ionized 900 million years after birth
Subaru observations of the most distant known gamma-ray bust show that most hydrogen between the galaxies had become ionized 900 million years after the Big Bang
Radio "view" sky survey nears completion with new data release
Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's Very Large Array (VLA) have overcome longstanding technical hurdles to map the sky to unparalleled sensitivity at long wavelengths
Astrophysicists discover 'compact jets' from neutron star
Compact jets that shoot matter into space in a continuous stream at near the speed of light have long been assumed to be a unique feature of black holes. But these odd features of the universe may be more common than once thought
Forming super-earths by ultraviolet stripping
: A new explanation for forming "super-Earths" suggests that they are more likely to be found orbiting red dwarf stars—the most abundant type of star—than gas giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn

Researchers discover a second blue planetary ring in our solar system
Most of us feel blue from time to time, and the solar system's seventh planet is feeling it, too – in its outermost ring
Sub-millimetre astronomy in full swing on southern skies
The Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) 12-m sub-millimetre telescope lives up to the ambitions of the scientists by providing access to the "Cold Universe" with unprecedented sensitivity and image quality

Soggy sands of Mars?
Cracks and fins in the sand in an American desert look very similar to features seen on Mars and may indicate the recent presence of water at the surface, according to a new study by researcher Greg Chavdarian and Dawn Sumner, associate professor of geology at UC Davis
New casssini image at Saturn shows 'a' ring contains more debris than once believed
Views of Saturn's stunning ring system from above by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft now orbiting the planet indicate the prominent A ring contains more debris than once thought, according to a new University of Colorado at Boulder study
Nuclear explosion on a dead star
A team of astronomers from the UK and Germany have found that a nuclear explosion on the surface of a star 5,000 light years from Earth resulted in a blast wave moving at over 1,700 km per second

Mars express's omega uncovers possible sites for life
The new work shows that large bodies of standing water might only have been present on Mars in the remote past, before four thousand million years ago, if they were present at all. Within half a billion years, these conditions had faded away
Deadly astronomical event not likely to happen in our galaxy
Are you losing sleep at night because you're afraid that all life on Earth will suddenly be annihilated by a massive dose of gamma radiation from the cosmos? Well, now you can rest easy
Galaxies are born inside dark matter clumps
Try mixing caramel into vanilla ice cream -- you will always end up with globs and swirls of caramel
Three-telescope interferometer shows patchy red giants are common fate of stars like sun
As astronomers increasingly link two telescopes as interferometers to reveal greater detail of distant stars, a Keck Observatory astronomer is showing the power of linking three or even more telescopes together
Telescopes in the Stratosphere
Dartmouth astronomy professor Robert Fesen appreciates NASA's Hubble Telescope, which he says has proven to be a terrific astronomical observatory since it was launched in 1990.
Scientists gaining clearer picture of comet makeup and origin
Scientists are getting their best understanding yet of the makeup of comets – not only of the materials inside these planetary building blocks, but also of the way they could have formed around the Sun in the solar system's earliest years.

| Quotes | Ive always wanted to be a scientist. That way, I could get a bunch of grants and do research into whether money can really buy happiness.
Kyannke.
Ive always wanted to be somebody, but I see now I should have been more specific.
