Astronomers Discover Startling Existence of Surplus Giant Planets in Star Cluster

A team of astronomers from all over the world have discovered that there are many more planets similar to the hot Jupiter type than expected in a cluster of stars known as Messier 67. The HARPS spectrograph at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile is one among the various instruments and telescopes that were used to make this unexpected discovery.

Astronomers Detect Nature of One of First Stars Using Elemental Analysis

No one has yet observed the first stars that formed in the Milky Way. In all likelihood, they will never be directly observed, because the first stars are massive, ending their lives only a few millions years after their birth.

Astronomers Use ALMA to Detect Glowing Oxygen in One of Most Distant Galaxies Known

Astronomers from Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom and ESO have used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA to observe one of the most distant galaxies known. SXDF-NB1006-2 lies at a redshift of 7.2, meaning that we see it only 700 million years after the Big Bang.
