Ultra Vista is a hidden treasure

The VISTA telescope of ESO has provided astronomers with the deepest image of the sky with ever larger field width created using infrared light. This new image of a small part of the sky, which may go unrecognized, the survey comes, UltraVista and reveals more than 200,000 galaxies. It's just a part of a large collection of images of all the polls VISTA, fully processed, now THAT is making available to astronomers around the world. UltraVista is a hidden treasure that is being used to study distant galaxies in the early universe as well as many other scientific projects. 

Probably about one hundred in the vicinity of the Solar System

Rocky planets not much larger than Earth are very common in the habitable zones around stars red weak. The international team believes that there must be tens of billions of such planets in our galaxy, the Milky Way, and probably about one hundred in the vicinity of the Solar System. This is the first time directly measured the frequency of super-Earths around red dwarfs, which account for 80% of the stars of the Milky Way. An international team just to make this the first direct estimate of the number of light planets around red dwarf stars. To do this, have used observations made with the HARPS spectrograph installed at the 3.6-meter telescope at ESO (La Silla Observatory in Chile).

A dwarf galaxy that is about 70 million light years from Earth

Most galaxies in the universe are classified into three forms: elliptical, disc-and usually flattened, and irregular spiral arms. That is so strange Leda 074886, a dwarf galaxy that is about 70 million light years from Earth is rectangular or, as astronomers have discovered, like a bright emerald. 

"It's one of those things that just make you smile because it should not exist or, rather, did not expect to exist," says Alsiter Graham (Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia), lead researcher.
