Harlow Shapley, (born November 2, 1885, Nashville, Missouri, U.S.—died October 20, 1972, Boulder, Colorado), American astronomer who deduced that the Sun lies near the central plane of the Milky Way Galaxy and was not at the centre but some 30,000 light-years away. In 1911 Shapley, working with results given by Henry Norris Russell, began finding the dimensions of stars in a number of binary systems from measurements of their light variation when they eclipse one another. These methods remain...

The new discovery of star clusters may pave the way for better analysis of star evolution in the galaxy. What do these new star clusters mean for the future?

Galaxy, a spiral galaxy, like our galaxy, the milky way, but it collided with a much smaller galaxy. when it did, we got what is called a ring galaxy, which is what you see there. inside that bright core, that is hot dust, early young baby star clusters essentially, then that outer ring is where you see star formation and star deaths. supernovas, as theyre called. what stands out to me in this image is the fact that this is a galaxy that the hubbell space telescope, webbs predecessor, looked at ...

Not only humans try to look younger than they really are – stars do, too. This is what an international team of astronomers investigates in their paper that was just published in Nature Astronomy. 

Recently, astronomers have discovered a black hole unlike any other. At one hundred thousand solar masses, it is smaller than the black holes found at the centr

Star clusters are a favorite of the Hubble Space Telescope to photograph, but what exactly are they?
