POPSExperimenting in a galaxy far far away While the readings confirm the laws of physics apply across the known universe, if it had been any other way, it would not only have been a surprise, but physics textbooks would have to be rewritten. Of course, the search has only just begun. The Radio Telescope is only a recent development, and much of what we know about the Universe, has been learned since the Hubble telescope became operational.

POPSSupermassive black hole says sayonara "In their study, Stefanie Komossa and her colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching, Germany, examined the spectrum of light from a quasar, a brilliant beacon with the unwieldy name SDSS J092712.65+294344.0. Quasars, which lie at the center of galaxies, are fueled by black holes. An analysis of the quasar spectrum reveals a pattern of light emission that matches that expected from a supermassive black hole shot out of the galaxy’s center, the team reports in the May 10 Astrophysical Journal Letters."

POPSWeird dark stars dotted early universe Quasars usually need the mass of a galaxy to form, and astronomers have been unable to explain how some quasars seemed to appear before galaxies had formed to make them. These 'dark stars' provide a means by which this may have happened.

POPSAstronomers trace Human's dusty origins Tremendous pressure and energy is required for some of the heavier elements to form. It is thought they are produced in supernovae, and quasars, but we still have so much to learn. Every discovery makes the picture a little clearer

POPSThe Universe - A ClipXploration * 3
Here is information on the show Stephen Hawking's Universe. There is a nice message from Stephen= "Where do we come from? How did the universe begin? Why is the universe the way it is? How will it end? "All my life, I have been fascinated by the big questions that face us, and have tried to find scientific answers to them. If, like me, you have looked at the stars, and tried to make sense of what you see, you too have started to wonder what makes the universe exist. The questions are clear, and deceptively simple. But the answers have always seemed well beyond our reach. Until now. "The ideas which had grown over two thousand years of observation have had to be radically revised. In less than a hundred years, we have found a new way to think of ourselves. From sitting at the center of the universe, we now find ourselves orbiting an average-sized sun, which is just one of millions of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. And our galaxy itself is just one of billions of gala
