WE ALL know what happens if you fall into a black hole. It's not pretty - you get ripped limb from limb before vanishing down the plughole. However, there is a way for you to live inside a black hole: find one that has five dimensions. Life inside a 5D black hole is known to be rather more sustainable than...

J170902+641728 is a highly unusual galaxy. In ground-based optical images, it is unresolved (less than 1\arcsec) and thus appears to be a fairly faint star. However, sensitive radio continuum observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 2255 associated it with a radio source. Altho...

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a third short gamma-ray burst (GBR) type, associated with a nearby elliptical galaxy. The low level of star formation in such galaxies and the detection of a second long-lasting flare indicate that this gamma-ray burst is most likely t...

The Swift Satellite has detected long burst on the 5th September. At 15:59:34 UT, the Swift-BAT triggered and located GRB050911 (trigger=154630). The BAT on-board calculated position(2000) is RA, 13.692, Dec -38.861, with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment...

ESO's Very Large Telescope, located on the 2,600m high Cerro Paranal in the Chilean Andes has captured the spiral galaxy NGC 1350 that lies Eighty-five million light years away. NGC 1350 is classified as an Sa(r) type galaxy, (a spiral with large central regions) The galaxy lie...

A new image from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer shows that a galaxy once thought to be rather plain and old is actually endowed with a gorgeous set of young spiral arms. The unusual galaxy, called NGC 4625, is a remarkable find because it is relatively nearby. Until now, astronomers had t...

Data from the Sloan Sky Survey show that quasars and galaxy associations are random. There's no solid evidence for any non-AGN process behind QSO phenomena, just random statistical coincidences. This is another, and hopefully final, nail in the coffin for the Steady State theory. Cr...

Variations in the density of hot plasma right after the big bang may have been frozen in the shape and distribution of galaxies that we see today. This is the mad idea proposed by Nils Basse, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He stumbled upon the striking similarity of the pattern p...
