Evidence shows faded electron cloud "coming back to life"

Cardiff University experts provide first direct evidence of galaxy ‘metamorphosis’

The evidence is important because it heralds a new form of astronomy using neutrinos

Large-scale simulation provides theoretical evidence of early disk galaxies

Sibling suns – made famous in the “Star Wars” scene where Luke Skywalker gazes toward a double sunset – and the planets around them may be more common than we’ve thought, and Cornell University astronomers are presenting new ideas on how to find them.

When the spacecraft New Horizons left Earth more than nine years ago on a 3-billion-mile journey to the outer solar system, Pluto, its primary target, was still a planet.

Acknowledging not only the growing need among scientists and engineers for resources that can help them handle, explore, and analyze big data, but also the complementary strengths of Caltech's Center for Data-Driven Discovery (CD3) and JPL's Center for Data Science and Technology (CDST), the two centers have formally joined forces, creating the Joint Initiative on Data Science and Technology. 

Planets with volcanic activity are considered better candidates for life than worlds without such heated internal goings-on.
