Observations of the Early Universe Point to the Existence of Unsuspected Dwarf Galaxies

Although the filaments of gas in which galaxies are born have long been predicted by cosmological models, we have so far had no real images of such objects. Now for the first time, several filaments of the 'cosmic web' have been directly observed using the MUSE (1) instrument installed on ESO's Very Large Telescope in Chile.

Study Reveals a Spectacular Auroral Phenomenon that Occurs on Jupiter

The storms, which consist of brightenings and broadenings of the dawn flank of an oval of auroral activity that encircles Jupiter's poles, evolve in a pattern surprisingly reminiscent of familiar surges in the aurora that undulate across Earth's polar skies, called auroral substorms, according to the authors.
