Galaxy NGC 1055 Displays Odd Twists in Structure

Spiral galaxies throughout the Universe take on all manner of orientations with respect to Earth. We see some from above (as it were) or "face-on" -- a good example of this being the whirlpool-shaped galaxy NGC 1232.

Recent Cosmic Census Offers Unprecedented View into the Nature and Evolution of Galaxies

The universe has come into sharper focus with the release this week of new images from the one of the largest telescopes in the world. A multinational collaboration led by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan that includes Princeton University scientists has published a "cosmic census" of a large swath of the night sky containing roughly 100 million stars and galaxies, including some of the most distant objects in the universe.

Physicists Develop New Computer-Based Simulation to Shed Light on Supercooled Water

There are few things more central to life on earth than water. It dominates the physical landscape, covering much of the planet as oceans. It's also a major component of the human body, comprising, for example, more than 70% of the mass of a newborn baby.
