An alternative model for pulsars and spiral galaxies
...the central bars observed in many of these galaxies. Some spiral galaxies have just two spiral arms, but others ... an intense beam of radiation emanating from the central regions of the galaxy which is slowly ‘swept around’ by the precession of a pair ...

Distant Milky Way look-alike is a breakthrough in the field of galaxy formation
... after the late astronomer Arthur M. Wolfe, was found so early in the Universe, this proved to be something of a conundrum. Galaxy evolution is now being called into question again after the discovery of a similar breakthrough with an object called...

Rare, massive, starburst galaxies captured in detail by Hubble
... a phenomenon called gravitational lensing, which occurs when the intense gravity of a massive object such as a galaxy or cluster of galaxies bends and magnifies the light of fainter, more distant background sources. Utilising this natural magnifying...

A see-through galaxy questions the need for dark matter
... component of the Universe – making up a whopping ~80 percent of its mass – and the invisible glue that holds galaxies and galaxy clusters together. Although it has never been directly observed, scientists are confident that this elusive material...
