New Clues to Why There’s So Little Antimatter in the Universe

Imagine a dust particle in a storm cloud, and you can get an idea of a neutron’s insignificance compared to the magnitude of the molecule it inhabits.

Satellite Galaxies can Form New Stars Even if They Come Close to Parent Galaxies

In the past, a majority of the researchers believed that once a satellite galaxy passes very near to its higher mass parent galaxy, its star formation would cease since the bigger galaxy would absorb all the gas from it, making it short of material required to make new stars.

Distinguishing Features of Palomar 5 are Likely due to Oversized Black Hole Population

Palomar 5 is known to be a special star cluster. Firstly, this is because it is considered as one of the “fluffiest” clusters in the halo of the Milky Way Galaxy, where the average distance between the stars is a few light-years, similar to the distance from the Sun to the closest star.
