«This chicken - and - egg problem of what was there first, the galaxy or the black hole, has been pushed all the way to the edge of the universe,» Yale University astrophysicist Kevin Schawinski said in a June 15 press conference at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Schawinski was part of a team of researchers that used two renowned orbiting observatories, the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, to identify a population of black holes in galaxies at redshift 6, which corresponds to a time about 950 million years after the big bang.

Stars in galaxies move faster than expected, not because of gravity from invisible matter but from the extra oomph they get as described by Milgrom's law.

He was a dark matter enthusiast like most of his peers, but he started losing faith in the mid-1990s when he realized that models predicated on the invisible stuff didn't match up with the phenomena he was witnessing in galaxies.

That finding suggests cosmic rays are produced in some galaxies, Kampert says — just not ours.

Milgrom used the MOND equation to predict stellar rotation speeds in these galaxies.

The constellation of Virgo (The Virgin) is especially rich in galaxies, due in part to the presence of a massive and gravitationally - bound collection of over 1300 galaxies called the Virgo Cluster.

«We now know that some of them like heavy metal, so to speak, and explode in galaxies like our own Milky Way.»

Perhaps only when we study huge agglomerations of matter, in galaxies or clusters of galaxies, will we spot the elusive phenomena that can take us beyond Einstein and Newton.

Much more solid evidence for dark matter came from Vera Rubin, an observational astronomer, who in the late 1960s and early 1970s made detailed quantitative measurements of stars rotating in galaxies.

They then look for supernovae in galaxies located even farther away from Earth.

Where dark matter once seemed as ad hoc as Milgrom's proposal, it had over the past decade morphed into a full - blown theory that explained far more than just the peculiar movement of stars in galaxies.

The signature also shows the velocities (bottom) of stars in the galaxies (blue regions are moving toward the telescope; red areas, away).

The specific issues that I addressed in my Ph.D. thesis were all associated with, or at least motivated by, problems in theoretical astrophysics, gravitational dynamics in particular: the evolution of the orbits of planets in the solar system and the evolution of structure in galaxies.

A team of astronomers from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) and SOKENDAI (Graduate University of Advanced Studies, Japan) are tracking velocity structures and gaseous metallicities in galaxies in two protoclusters located in the direction of the constellation Serpens.

MOST stars are gregarious, grouping together by the billions in galaxies like our Milky Way.

And although MOND works well for stars moving in galaxies, it fails to predict the speeds at which galaxies in clusters orbit each other.

Dark matter is necessary to explain the motions of stars in galaxies.

Befitting its «high definition» moniker, HDST's huge mirror could capture features the size of Manhattan in the cloudscapes of Jupiter and track the motions of individual sunlike stars in galaxies up to 30 million light - years away.

Fritz Zwicky used it for the first time to declare the observed phenomena consistent with dark matter observations as the rotational speeds of galaxies and orbital velocities of galaxies in clusters, gravitational lensing of background objects by galaxy clusters such as the Bullet cluster, and the temperature distribution of hot gas in galaxies and clusters of galaxies.

Data suggest that central black holes might play an important role in adjusting how many stars form in the galaxies they inhabit.

George has a PhD in astrophysics and worked at the University of Cambridge researching the effects of black holes in galaxies and quasars in the early universe.

That's right, Ronaldo, one of Real Madrid's Galacticos, is now one up on Messi in galaxies named after him.

January 30, 2013 — Astronomers report the exciting discovery of a new way to measure the mass of supermassive black holes in galaxies.

We can see red / blue shifting in galaxies to tell that they are moving apart from each other.

In me the galaxies hunger for God.

Although the gas is at a chilly minus 63 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 53 degrees Celsius) and is 300 trillion times less dense than Earth's atmosphere, it's still five times hotter and 10 to 100 times denser than what's typical in galaxies like the Milky Way.

If we build theologies and mission strategies, that fail to operate against a biblical backdrop large enough to encompass our brothers and sisters in these galaxies, and that fail to relate our concerns to theirs, we sever ourselves from mutual support and divide the body of Christ.

Kaplan, who is at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, is probably the foremost private equity scholar in the galaxy.

Not only did he help create a compelling back story for the «best pilot in the galaxy,» he even landed a cameo role for his uncle — the «obsessive» Star Wars fan who introduced Isaac and his brother, journalist Mike Hernandez, to the films.

«The rate of these neutron star mergers in our galaxy is about one every 100,000 years.
