The Solar System follows the Galactic standard – but it is a Rare Breed

It turns out that our own solar system in some ways is very rare, and in others very ordinary. It is rare to have 8 planets, but the study shows that the Solar system follows exactly the same, very basic rules for the…

Galaxies in the Very Early Universe were Surprisingly Mature

Massive galaxies were already much more mature in the early universe than previously expected. This is the conclusion of an international team of astronomers who studied distant galaxies with the Atacama Large…

Measuring the expansion of the Universe: Researchers focus on the importance of measuring velocity

Ever since the astronomer Edwin Hubble demonstrated that the further apart two galaxies are, the faster they move away from each other, researchers have measured the expansion rate of the Universe (the Hubble constant).
