Dead Galaxy Harbors Dark Matter

A new study has identified a dead galaxy that seems to be densely packed with dark matter.
By measuring the mass of a nearby dwarf galaxy called Triangulum II, the highest concentration of dark matter in any known galaxy has been found.

Ground-breaking Find to Challenge Big Bang Theory

A recent ground-breaking research has been published that can challenge the underlying principles of physics.
University of Southampton's Christopher Sachrajda has helped to devise the first calculation of how the behaviour of kaons differs when matter is swapped out for antimatter, known as direct "CP" symmetry violation.

Alien Planet Caught in Birth Act

For the first time ever, a team of astronomers has directly observed a planet in the process of being born.
A star known as LkCa 15, located 450 light years from Earth, has been observed exhibiting all the trappings of an expectant parent: it is surrounded by a vast disc of dust and gas, making an ideal environment for planets to grow from; the dust shows distinct signs of disturbance - something within has eaten away part of the disc.

Oldest Stars in the Universe Found

Astronomers have discovered what they believe to be the oldest stars ever seen, dating from before the Milky Way Galaxy was formed, when the universe was just 300 million years old.
The nine stars, found near the centre of the Milky Way, are surprisingly pure but contain material from an even earlier star, which died in an enormous explosion called hypernova.
These pristine stars are among the oldest surviving stars in the Universe, and certainly the oldest stars we have ever seen.

Phobos is Slowly Falling Apart

Phobos, the larger of Mars' two moons, is being pulled apart by tidal forces and scientists expect it to be destroyed in 30 to 50 million years.
As per a new study, the long, shallow grooves lining the surface of Phobos are early signs of the structural failure that will ultimately destroy this moon.
Orbiting a mere 3,700 miles above the surface of Mars, Phobos is closer to its planet than any other moon in the solar system.
