Using the ESO's Very Large Telescope, astronomers observed a new swarm of stellar nurseries in the spiral galaxy NGC 253. Researchers identified 37 bright regions packed into the core of the galaxy ...

Astronomers have found a rich molecular reservoir in the heart of an active star-forming galaxy with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Among eight clouds identified at the ...

An international team of researchers led by Aaron Romanowsky of San José State University has used the Subaru Telescope to identify a faint dwarf galaxy disrupting around a nearby giant spiral galaxy.

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has been used in a new study to explore the effects of powerful winds launched from the center of a nearby galaxy called NGC 253. The galaxy is located 11.4 million ...

(Phys.org)—An international team of astronomers led by Fabian Walter of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany has revealed essential properties of a molecular outflow feature in the nearby ...

The H.E.S.S. telescope system detects high-energy rays from the starburst region of a galactic system outside the Milky Way. Quite a few distant galaxies turn out to be cosmic delivery rooms. Large ...

This is New General Catalog object 253, a magnificent spiral galaxy. It is the largest one in the next group of galaxies found beyond our own "local group" of galaxies, which includes the Milky Way.

On Earth, wind can transport particles of dust and debris across the planet, with sand from the Sahara ending up in the Caribbean or volcanic ash from Iceland being deposited in Greenland. Wind can ...
