Sentences with phrase «around distant galaxies»

HUGE gas reservoirs have been spotted around distant galaxies, where they can fuel new stars — contrary to what we thought.

Chemical calculations show that helium hydride should be visible in clouds around distant galaxies and supernovas, or even in modern planetary nebulas (shells of gas expelled by aged, sunlike stars).

Not exact matches

A look at the universe and all its wonders — from our neighborhood around the sun to the most distant galaxy, and beyond.

Some research has been done to deduce the chemical makeup of very early galaxies, based on observations of very bright, distant galaxies, or of very old stars that formed in the early universe and are still around today, Hewitt said.

«You build bigger, you go fainter, you go deeper, and you'll have a shot at a major discovery,» explains Pudritz, «So building these larger machines will no doubt allow us to study the birth of the first galaxies and even planet formation around distant stars.

It has been used to detect planets around distant stars within the Milky Way galaxy, and was among the first methods used to confirm Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.

Albert Einstein's theory predicts that the gravitational effects of the nearer galaxy bends the light of the more distant one around it, a process called gravitational lensing.

Every 12 years, a black hole at the centre of a distant galaxy completes an orbit around an even bigger black hole, marking this with a violent outburst

But around the same time studies of very distant galaxies, which we see as they were when the Universe was very young, were setting constraints on the amount of baryonic matter in the Universe (New Scientist, Science, 30 April).

Remarkably, the distribution of star - forming galaxies around a cluster of galaxies in the more distant universe (5 billion years ago) corresponds much more closely with the weak lensing map than a slice of the more nearby universe (3 billion years ago).

The bluish circle around the galaxies is the light from a more distant galaxy bending around the cluster's center due to gravity from both stars and dark matter.

The source was traced to a distant galaxy, so far away that its light took around 3.9 billion years to reach Earth.

In theory, very distant (and therefore young) galaxies should have weaker magnetic fields than galaxies which are around today.

The GMT aims to discover Earth - like planets around nearby stars and the tiny distortions that black holes cause in the light from distant stars and galaxies.

That means that if we were on those far distant galaxies — right this second — looking at Earth with a powerful telescope, we'd be watching the dinosaurs trample around our planet.

When a very massive galaxy comes smack in between Earth and a distant galaxy, the light from the distant galaxy is bent around the huge impediment.

Capable of observing the Universe by detecting light that is invisible to the human eye, ALMA will show us never - before - seen details of the birth of stars, infant galaxies in the early Universe, and planets coalescing around distant suns.

A galaxy could be used as magnifying glass as light from a distant galaxy is warped around the closer object.

This material gathers into huge turbulent reservoirs of cool, low - density gas, extending more than 30 000 light - years from the galaxy's star forming region [3] These turbulent reservoirs of diffuse gas may be of the same nature as the giant glowing haloes seen around distant quasars..

The light of a distant galaxy is re-directed around this core, often producing multiple images of the background galaxy (see the image above for an example).

Indeed, GRBs appear to emit produce even more energy than supernovae or even quasars (which are energetically bright accretion disks and bi-polar jets around supermassive black holes that are most commonly found in the active nuclei of some distant galaxies and possibly even in the pre-galaxy period after the Big Bang).

Researchers have, to an extent, been able to work around this impediment using a variety of differing observational techniques paired with insight gained from studies of distant spiral galaxies, in order to develop a basic model of our galaxy.
