When Black Holes Collide

The Chandra X-ray telescope has produced new data on the nebula NGC 6240 that has been combined with an optical image from the Hubble Space Telescope originally released in 2008. In 2002, the discovery of two merging black holes was announced based on Chandra data in this galaxy. The two black holes are a mere 3,000 light years apart and are seen as the bright point-like sources in the middle of the image recently released today by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Centre here. The detail in the image is truly stunning.

Massive Galaxy Cluster discovered

25 August 2008 ESA’s orbiting X-ray observatory XMM-Newton has discovered the most massive cluster of galaxies seen in the distant Universe until now. The galaxy cluster is so big that there can only be a handful of them at that distance, making this a rare catch indeed. The discovery confirms the existence of dark energy.

Deep Space black hole blaster

A powerful jet from a supermassive black hole is blasting a nearby galaxy, according to new data from NASA observatories. This never-before witnessed galactic violence may have a profound effect on planets in the jet's path and trigger a burst of star formation in its destructive wake.

Voyager 2 probe leaves the neighbourhood

Like a soft orange that fell just a bit too hard from its tree, the giant bubble that protects the solar system from interstellar space is squashed on one side, new data show.

Galaxy Zoo

How would you like to contribute your effort to an important astonomical survey of one million galaxies? Go to the Galaxy Zoo site to see what it is all about and take part. If you do take part, please make your user ID start with "SF-", then it will be clear that the Spacefleet Association is making its mark and it will be a joint effort!

The Galaxy Zoo project team of asttronomers is being headed by Chris Lintott a co-presenter on the UK BBC's famous and long-lived "Sky at Night" programme.
