A heavyweight galaxy

Instead, Minchin believes the arm of NGC 4254 stars was created by the very seriousness of VIRGOHI21. He reached this conclusion after studying the object with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope-(WSRT) in the Netherlands, which detects the emission of hydrogen atoms.

Galaxy of Dorian Gray

NASA has made some observations about the galaxy called "I Zwicky 18", ruling out the possibility that it is a young galaxy in the nearby universe, as was believed until now.  It can actually be considered an adult, that looks young and that resembles galaxies typically found only in the early Universe.  However, Hubble has found faint stars, older within this galaxy, suggesting that "I Zwicky 18" may have formed while many other galaxies .

Astronomers have open a galaxy of split personality

Astronomers working with the telescope Spitzer released new images of NGC 4594, known as the Sombrero.  As a result, the researchers found out that it "suffers from split personality" - inside the giant elliptical galaxy essentially is a small spiral.  Article scientists appear in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, and its summary is provided on the site of NASA.
