Astronomers have obtained the highest resolution of infrared images near the Kerina Nebula, a thick cloud of dust and gas in which stars are actively forming. Gemini in Chile is incredible to see the newly obtained images obtained from the South Telescope. It’s also useful for understanding stellar nurseries and …

Observations by NASA / European Space Agency’s Hubble Space Telescope and the European Southern Observatory’s very large telescope (VLT) in Chile have shown that some of the principles of how dark matter behaves may be missing. This missing component may explain why researchers have discovered unexpected discrepancies between observations of …

Dark Matter Matter accounts for about 85% of the universe. However, the dark matter is famously elusive and cannot be experienced directly. Instead, its presence is reduced by pulling its gravity on a visible object in space. Related: Increasing the signal that could indicate new signals in the Dark Matter …

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image showing what the space agency calls “pocketful of stars” – a section of the universe filled with thousands of multicolored stars. This image shows a “globular” cluster called NGC 1805, located near the galaxy’s satellite Galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. In particular, …
