Catching Galactic Recycling In The Act
This little galaxy is churning out the ingredients necessary for planets and life at a frantic pace. New observations reveal the sharpest view yet of this cycle of gas and stardust.
A new discovery of a secondary eclipse
HAT-P-11b is a Neptune-size transiting exoplanet with water in its atmosphere. Here we discuss the first detection of its secondary eclipse.
Expecting the unexpected in astronomical data
The majority of groundbreaking astronomical discoveries are completely unexpected. With a multitude of next-generation telescope surveys being planned or under construction, how can we maximize our chances of coming across these serendipitous finds?
Baby Photos of a Galaxy Cluster
While ClJ1446 is smaller and less massive than most present-day clusters, it is probably very similar to what they looked like 10 billion years ago. Therefore, this work can help improve our understanding of how our nearby galaxy clusters likely evolved.
