Hubble Shows Farthest Lensing Galaxy Yields Clues to Early Universe
These “lensing” galaxies are so massive that their gravity bends, magnifies, and distorts light from objects behind it, a phenomenon called gravitational…
Small but Plentiful: How the Faintest Galaxies Illuminated the Early Universe
Light from tiny galaxies more than 13 billion years ago played a larger role than previously thought in creating the conditions in the universe as we know it…
Trio of supermassive black holes shake space-time
An international research team, including Hans-Rainer Klöckner from MPIfR, performed VLBI observations at a number of frequencies to discover the inner two…
Hubble unveils a colourful view of the Universe
Prior to this survey, astronomers were in a curious position. They knew a lot about star formation occurring in nearby galaxies thanks to UV telescope…
Radiation From Early Universe Found Key to Answer Major Questions in Physics
Astrophysicists at UC San Diego have measured the minute gravitational distortions in polarized radiation from the early universe and discovered that these…
Radiation from Early Universe Found Key to Answer Major Questions in Physics
