But imagine being surprised by a sound six times louder than you expect. A balloon-borne instrument called ARCADE, (Absolute Radiometer for Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Diffuse Emission) was supposed to be used to search for heat signature from the first stars to form after the Big Bang. [...]Which Comes First: Galaxy or Black Hole? Do galaxies form first and then a black hole springs up in the center, or possibly, do galaxies form around an already existing black hole? That's the cosmic chicken-and-the-egg problem astronomers have been trying to figure out. The answer? "It looks like the black holes form before the host galaxy, and somehow [...]WR 104 Won't Kill Us After AllEarly last year, concern was growing for a Wolf-Rayet star named WR 104 that appeared to be aiming right at Earth (see Looking Down the Barrel of A Gamma Ray Burst). A Wolf-Rayet star is a highly unstable star coming to the end of its life, possibly culminating in a powerful, planet-killing gamma-ray burst (GRB). [...]Atmospheres of Super EarthsWe stand on the edge of the next phase of planetary discovery. Hundreds of massive, Jupiter-like planets have been discovered, but now astronomers are turning up smaller, more familiar planets. Planets the mass of Earth are out of reach today, but a new class of super Earth planets are now being discovered, and more will [...]Invading Stars Faster Than Speeding Bullet A team of astronomers looking for pre-planetary nebulae using the Hubble Space Telescope instead came across some renegade stars screaming through space. These runaway stars are moving along at 50 km/s (112,000 miles an hour), and have traveled an estimated 160 light years from where they originated. “We think we have [...]Could Quark Stars Explain Magnetars Strong Magnetic Field?Magnetars are the violent, exotic cousins of the well known neutron star. They emit excessive amounts of gamma-rays, X-rays and possess a powerful magnetic field. Neutron stars also have very strong magnetic fields (although weak when compared with magnetars), conserving the magnetic field of the parent star before it exploded as a supernova. However, the [...]This Week's Where In The Universe Challenge This week's Where In The Universe Challenge has a new twist. This image was actually submitted by one of our readers, Wienie van der Oord from Israel. Its quite an interesting image, don't you agree?! I'll not give any hints as to where Wienie got the image, or what it is, [...]International Year of Astronomy Opening CeremoniesNothing works better than repetition. 2009 is the International Year of Astronomy! We've said it more than a few times before, and you'll read a lot of coverage over the next year here on Universe Today. But last night we got to officially kick things off and celebrate the beginning of IYA 2009 events in [...]Blogger Meet-Up Jan. 7 in Long Beach If you live near Long Beach or are there for the American Astronomical Society meeting, meet Fraser, Ian and the Astronomy Cast LIVE team at a "Blogger Meet-up" on Wed. January 7 at the Rock Bottom Brewery from 6pm - 9pm. The team hopes you can make it! (Have a tall [...]With No Smoke or Mirrors, Spacecraft Hunts for Active Galaxies with Central Black HolesNASA's Swift spacecraft is designed to hunt for gamma-ray bursts. But in the time between these almost-daily cosmic explosions, Swift's Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) scans the sky, performing an ongoing X-ray survey. Some of the first results of that survey were shared at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Long Beach, California. The [...]AAS Session 328: Black Holes I, January 6thThe debate of whether or not a supermassive black hole (SMBH) was kicked out of the centre of a galaxy continues in the Black Holes I session at the AAS. According to Stefanie Komossa and her team at the Max Plank Institute for extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) back in May 2008, spectroscopic data of a galactic [...]Podcast: How Old is the Universe? We did a wildly popular three part series about the center, size and shape of the Universe. But every good trilogy needs a 4th episode. This week we look at age of the Universe. How old is the Universe, and how do we know? And how has this number changed over time as astronomers [...]If Brown Isn't a Color, What Color are Brown Dwarfs?We've talked about brown dwarfs here on Universe Today for years and years. These are the "failed stars"; objects with too little mass to fully ignite nuclear fusion in their cores. Instead of blazing with red, yellow or the white light of our own stars, they're heated by the gravitational collapse of material. They're called [...]"Lighthouse" Analogy No Longer Works for PulsarsNASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has found 12 previously unknown gamma-ray only pulsars, as well as identifying gamma-ray emissions from 18 known or suspected radio pulsars. And what the telescope is finding is changing the way we think of these stellar cinders. The old analogy for pulsars was a lighthouse: gamma-rays were thought [...]Molecules in Gamma-Ray Burst DetectedGamma-ray bursts are the universe's most brilliant events, and now astronomers have been able to shed light on the composition of these spectacular phenomena, providing insight into star formation when the universe was about one-sixth its present age. Combining data from NASA's Swift satellite, the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, and other facilities [...]American Astronomical Society Meeting, Long Beach - Day 2After a day of crazy traveling through a Vancouver blizzard I'm now having my first full day down at the American Astronomical Society Meeting in Long Beach, California. As you've probably read, Ian's here with me and Nancy's supporting us back at Atkinson HQ. My last AAS meeting was a year ago. It was fun [...]Could Mystery Outburst be a New Stellar Phenomenon?The Hubble Space Telescope serendipitously captured a mysterious burst of light on February 21, 2006. Over the next 100 days, the object, cataloged as SCP 06F6, brightened and then slowly faded. Astronomers do not know the object's distance, so it can either be in our Milky Way galaxy or at a great [...]Cassiopeia A Comes Alive in 3-D MoviesWant to know what it's like to fly through a supernova remnant? Then, THIS, you have to see. You'll be able to experience SNR Cassiopeia A (Cas A) as never before, and see it across both time and space. Another time lapse animation shows the remnant's expansion and changes over time, [...]New Ares Construction "Towers" Over 39BThings are a-changing over at the Kennedy Space Center launch complex. The first lightning tower for the Ares rockets has been completed, dwarfing all the other structures on pad 39B. The tower is for the new lightning protection system for the Constellation Program. Other towers are being constructed at left and behind the [...]Watch More Events Live from AAS on Tuesday Jan. 6Once again our sister site Astronomy Cast LIVE will be providing live video coverage of press events at the 213th AAS meeting being held in Long Beach CA. The video streams can be found at Astronomy Cast's UStream Channel. You can join the chat to suggestion questions to ask at the news [...]Triple Whammy: Milky Way More Massive, Spinning Faster and More Likely to CollideFor many of us, looking closely in the mirror and stepping on the bathroom scale just after the holidays can reveal a substantial surprise. Likewise, astronomers looking closely at the Milky Way have found our galaxy is more massive than previously thought. High-precision measurements of the Milky Way disclose our galaxy is rotating [...]Hubble, Spitzer Collaborate for Stunning Panorama of Galactic CenterTwo of the biggest space telescopes have combined forces to create a HUGE panorama of the center of the Milky Way galaxy. This sweeping, composite color panorama is the sharpest infrared picture ever made of the Galactic core. Revealed in the image are a new population of massive stars and new details of complex [...]Broken-up Asteroids Found Orbiting White DwarfsAstronomers studying white dwarfs have found the remains of "shredded" asteroids around some of these dead stars. This finding suggests that the same materials that make up Earth and our solar system's other rocky bodies could be common in the universe. If the materials are common, then rocky planets could be, too. "If you [...]The Case of the Disappearing Planetary DisksAfter examining the 5-million-year old star cluster NGC 2362, astronomers say that planets like Jupiter must form quickly because the material that form giant gas planets disappears in just few million years in young protoplanetary (planet forming) systems. Using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers from the Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics found that all stars [...]Young Stars Forming Near Galactic Black HoleJust as young children need safe, nurturing environments to develop and grow, young stars, too need just the right environment to get their start in life. Or do they? At the center of our galaxy is a 4 million solar-mass black hole. If molecular clouds that form stellar nurseries were nearby, they [...]The Space Report is made available under a Creative Commons License. |
