Multiple New Galaxies Found Hidden In Plain Sight, Researchers Expound on New Evidence Behind Gas Clouds
Astronomy researchers have uncovered the presence of billions of “dust galaxies” that have been hidden in plain sight for far longer than we, as human beings on this planet, can remember. A new research paper that will be published in an upcoming edition of the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society journal, as documented by United Press International (U.P.I.), indicates that the at-a-distance glowing dust that can be seen in the nighttime sky is actually most likely obscuring multip..>> view originalStarfish baby boom follows a major West Coast die-off
EUREKA, Calif. (AP) — Droves of baby starfish are returning to Oregon and Northern California’s shores after a wasting disease decimated whole populations of the creatures over the past two years along the West Coast. Data collected by Oregon State University researchers shows an unprecedented number of baby starfish, or sea stars, survived the summer and winter of 2015, the Eureka Times Standard reported Saturday. “When we looked at the settlement of the larval sea stars on rocks in 2014 durin..>> view originalSmall earthquakes are shaking the dormant Mount St. Helens
An eruption column rises from Mount St. Helens, Washington, 22nd July 1980. This was one of a series of explosive eruptions by the volcano in 1980, the most destructve occurring on 18th May and causing the entire north face (nearest camera) to slide away. In the background (right) is the stratovolcano Mount Hood, Oregon.

The debate over Pluto’s status has maintained its vigor ever since the International Astronomical Union’s 2006 decision to downgrade it to a dwarf planet, with experts still at odds as to what its correct classification should be.Now, NASA’s New Horizons mission adds yet another layer of confusion, highlighting characteristics of the demoted planet that place it in a bracket all of its own, neither comet nor planet.From readings taken during the spacecraft’s flyby in July 2015, as described thi..>> view originalBlack Hole In Nearby Galaxy 660 Million Times More Massive Than The Sun
Black Hole In Nearby Galaxy 660 Million Times More Massive Than The Sun A. Barth (UC Irvine), ALMA (NRAO/ESO/NAOJ); NASA/ESA Hubble; Carnegie-Irvine Galaxy Survey Thanks to the ultra-precise measurements of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a network of 66 radio telescopes in Chile, scientists have “weighed” a black hole roughly 660 million times greater than our own sun. The supermassive black hole, found in Galaxy NGC 1332 located about 73 million light-years from Ear..>> view originalThe Mercury Transit of the Sun on Monday is a Science Smorgasbord
Mercury's rare passage across the face of the sun on Monday, May 9, should be an exciting event for skywatchers and scientists alike. The planet's pass across Earth's nearest star may provide information about its thin atmosphere, assist in the hunt for worlds around other stars, and help NASA hone some of its instruments. Credit: Space.com Store As seen from Earth, Mercury appears to cross the disk of the sun — an event known as a transit — only about 13 times per century.

The team figured out how its mouth actually worked after finding two new fossils of the reptile that were much better preserved than the first find.They said the crocodile-size creature used its front teeth to scrape algae from the seafloor, which it would suck up like a vacuum. Then it would use its needle-like teeth to trap the plants and filter out water, like a whale with baleen.Although they may have cleared the confusion, they admit the anatomy is still surprising.“A hammerhead in a repti..>> view originalPurdue graduate Tingle to join space station mission in 2017
