The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a spectacular image of NGC 3603, a giant nebula hosting one of the most prominent massive young clusters in the Milky Way, thus supplying a prime template for star formation studies. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

You'll love these amazing balloon art pics... if you're into that sort of thing. picked by gnikgnok 3 years ago

ESA’s Cluster was in the right place and time to make a shocking discovery. The four spacecraft encountered a shock wave that kept breaking and reforming – predicted only in theory. picked by AutumnLotus 3 years ago

The joint Japan-U.S. Suzaku mission is providing new insight into how assemblages of thousands of galaxies pull themselves together. For the first time, Suzaku has detected X-ray-emitting gas at a cluster's outskirts, where a billion-year plunge to the center begins. picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

A ragged company of stars is rushing through the chaotic core of our galaxy, travelling faster than can easily be explained. The new measurement of its path, made with the 10-metre Keck telescope in Hawaii, US, also deepens a mystery surrounding the Milky Way's central black hole. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Play this game to see how much taxpayer money you can waste while flying in a balloon.

Did I mention Extreme? These guys are amazing. If we ever decide disputes by football/soccer, Brazil will be The World Power. Dupe from here picked by 2manyusernames 2 years ago

UC Irvine scientists have discovered a cluster of galaxies in a very early stage of formation that is 11.4 billion light years from Earth – the farthest of its kind ever to be detected. These galaxies are so distant that the universe was in its infancy when their light was emitted. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

A distant galaxy cluster has turned into a giant particle accelerator, spinning electrons over vast distances at high speeds. Scientists discovered this phenomenon by observing highly energetic X-rays emanating from the Ophiuchus cluster of galaxies. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago
