Spiderweb Galaxy
(Preview)
New Hubble images have provided a dramatic glimpse of a large massive galaxy under assembly as smaller galaxies merge. This has commonly been thought to be the way galaxies grew in the young Universe, but now Hubble observations of the radio galaxy MRC 1138-262, nicknamed the “Spiderweb Galaxy”, h...

Quasar 3C454.3
(Preview)
Calar Alto participates in a multi-observatory effort to study the most luminous quasar ever observed. The object, radio quasar 3C 454.3 in the constellation Pegasus, experienced during 2005 a strong optical outburst that made it observable even with amateur instrumentation (reaching R = 12 ma...

)
(Preview)
The quest for a single theory that unites all of the universe's fundamental forces has thus far eluded physicists, but that has not stopped a team of them from clearing the way for nanotechnologists while they look for it.
The group, which includes Purdue University's Ephraim Fischbach, has re...

Malin 1 galaxy
(Preview)
Malin 1, the prototypical giant low surface brightness galaxy, harbours a normal disk of stars, says an astronomer in California. A Hubble image reveals a barred spiral galaxy at Malin 1's centre. As a result, Malin 1 may no longer be classified as a low surface brightness galaxy. Discovered i...

BL Lacertae
(Preview)
BL Lacertae or BL Lac is a highly variable, extragalactic AGN (active galactic nucleus or active galaxy). It was first discovered by Cuno Hoffmeister in 1929, but was originally thought to be an irregular variable star in the Milky Way galaxy and so was given a variable star designation. BL Lacertae...
