 World Science | Baby galaxies grew up quickly Space Daily The earliest galaxies were probably comprised of primitive, giant stars that consisted of only hydrogen and helium. There were no heavier elements. They first appeared later in the evolution of the Universe, created by nuclear processes in the stars. Life might have formed as early as 10-12 billion years ago Earliest Galaxies Were More Suitable for Life Than Originally Thought |
 Scientific American (blog) | Black Holes Are Coming! Scientific American (blog) It's wild stuff, but recent research (including some of mine) is leading astronomers to the conclusion that the flavor of galaxies, and the number of stars (and planets) that the universe makes, is intimately tied into the way that black holes eat ... |
Every black hole contains a new universe Fox News As in the standard version of general relativity, very massive stars end up collapsing into black holes: regions of space from which nothing, not even light, can escape. Here is how torsion would play out in the beginning moments of our universe. |
 RedOrbit | Overfed Black Holes Shut Down Galactic Star-Making Sacramento Bee By NASA WASHINGTON, May 9, 2012 -- /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Herschel Space Observatory has shown galaxies with the most powerful, active black holes at their cores produce fewer stars than galaxies with less active black holes.

 Sci-Tech Today | Study: 'Hungry' Black Holes End Birth of New Stars Sci-Tech Today "Hungry," active black holes suppressed galactic star formation when the universe was less than half its current age. Using findings from the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory, astronomers say the number of stars that form during the ...

 Baltimore Sun (blog) | Monster black hole caught gulping down an unlucky star msnbc.com [Photos: Black Holes of the Universe] Death by black hole Astronomers say supermassive black holes rip apart stars very rarely, maybe just once every 10000 years per galaxy. To detect one such event, Gezari and her colleagues monitored hundreds of ... Hopkins-led study observes destruction of star by black hole Black Hole Rips Star To Shreds, Then Swallows It |
NASA Lends Galaxy Evolution Explorer To Caltech Sacramento Bee Soon, Caltech will begin to manage and operate the satellite, working with several international research groups to continue ultraviolet studies of the universe. Projects include cataloguing more galaxies across the entire sky; watching how stars and ... |
 Science Codex | Baby galaxies grew up quickly Science Codex The galaxies are so far away that you normally do not have the opportunity to observe them directly, but the researchers have used a special method. "There are some extreme objects in the Universe called quasars. Quasars are gigantic black holes that ... |
Galaxies: Collisions, Types & Other Facts Space.com Many of the points of light we often think are individual stellar objects are actually galaxies, collections of millions to trillions of stars. Galaxies are composed of stars, dust, and dark matter, all held together by gravity. Below we discuss galaxy ... |
