Hear the otherworldly sounds of interacting galaxies with this Hubble sonification
Hubble scientists have created a sonification of interacting galaxy pair Arp 140, translating the colors and brightness of the image into sound......»»
Hubble spies baby stars being born amid chaos of interacting galaxies
Amid swirling gas and dust pulled by gravitational forces of interacting galaxies, there can be bursts of star formation, creating new generations of stars......»»
Hubble detects celestial "string of pearls" star clusters in galaxy collisions
When spectacular cosmic events such as galaxy collisions occur, it sets off a reaction to form new stars, and possibly new planets that otherwise would not have formed. The gravitational pull that forces the collisions between these galaxies creates.....»»
Hubble traces "string of pearls" star clusters in galaxy collisions
Contrary to what you might think, galaxy collisions do not destroy stars. In fact, the rough-and-tumble dynamics trigger new generations of stars and presumably accompanying planets......»»
Physicists capture first sounds of heat "sloshing" in a superfluid, revealing how heat can move like a wave
In most materials, heat prefers to scatter. If left alone, a hotspot will gradually fade as it warms its surroundings. But in rare states of matter, heat can behave as a wave, moving back and forth somewhat like a sound wave that bounces from one end.....»»

Vision Pro review-in-progress describes some key wins & losses
Macworld’s Jason Cross sounds like he’s taking an approach along somewhat similar lines to my Apple product diaries with his Vision Pro review, saying that he’s going to take time before giving a verdict – and in the meantime share some of h.....»»
The 5 best telescopes for viewing planets and galaxies in 2024
Of all the objects that you can view through a telescope, some of the most stunning to behold are the planets in our solar system, and the galaxies that lie far beyond it. But if you want to see more distant and fainter objects, you’ll need a d.....»»
Apple Vision Pro Problems: 5 Things You Need to Know
The Apple Vision Pro is finally here which means we’re starting to hear about the initial problems plaguing the company’s new spatial computer. It’s extremely early, and shipments are still en route, but we’re starting to get.....»»
Dark matter might help explain how supermassive black holes can merge
Although the exact nature of dark matter continues to elude astronomers, we have gained some understanding of its general physical properties. We know how it clusters around galaxies, how it makes up much of the matter in the universe, and even how i.....»»
"Mom talk:" Study finds immigrant bilingual Latina mothers have dual-language personalities
Children who hear a language other than English at home currently make up more than 25% of the school-aged population in the United States. A large majority of those children hear Spanish because that is the native language of their parents. When the.....»»
Hubble captures a suspected galaxy encounter
UGC 3912 is classified as a spiral galaxy, but you wouldn't know it from this detailed NASA Hubble Space Telescope image. UGC 3912's distorted shape is typically indicative of a gravitational encounter with another galaxy. When galaxies interact—ei.....»»
Even early galaxies grew hand-in-hand with their supermassive black holes
Within almost every galaxy there is a supermassive black hole. This by itself implies some kind of formative connection between the two. We have also observed how gas and dust within a galaxy can drive the growth of galactic black holes, and how the.....»»
Hubble observes galaxy NGC 5427
The galaxy NGC 5427 shines in this new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image. It's part of the galaxy pair Arp 271, and its companion NGC 5426 is located below this galaxy and outside of this image's frame. However, the effects of the pair's gravitationa.....»»

Lopsided galaxies shed light on the speed of dark matter
In new research published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, researchers have figured out how to precisely calculate the forces that affect galaxies in tidal cycles. The next stage is to find galaxies sufficiently lopsided in the universe to study the velo.....»»
