Title: JKCS041: a colour-detected galaxy cluster at z=1.9 with deep potential well as confirmed by X-ray data Authors: S. Andreon, B. Maughan, G. Trinchieri, J. Kurk We report the discovery of JKCS041, a massive near-infrared selected cluster of galaxies z=1.9. The cluster was originally disco...
Is the matter in the universe arranged in a fractal pattern? A new study of nearly a million galaxies suggests it is though there are no well-accepted theories to explain why that would be so. Cosmologists trying to reconstruct the entire history of the universe have precious few clues from which to w...
Early Earth may have had two moons Earth once had two moons, which merged in a slow-motion collision that took several hours to complete, researchers propose in Nature today. Both satellites would have formed from debris that was ejected when a Mars-size protoplanet smacked into Earth late in its f...
