Pontfadog Oak: 1,200-year-old tree toppled by winds A 1,200-year-old tree, reputed to be the oldest and one of the largest in the UK, has been toppled by strong winds. It is understood the Pontfadog Oak, which has been growing near Chirk in Wrexham since the year 802, fell over during the gusts overni...
The accreting binary X-ray pulsar 1A 0535+262 was observed in outburst by the INTEGRAL satellite between 00:53 UT, 3rd August and 04:32 UT, 4th August, 2009. The Be/X-ray binary (HIP 26566) was discovered in 1975 during a giant outburst. Position(2000): RA= 05 38 54.5720; Dec= +26 18 56.822
Using 20,000 stars observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-II), an international team of astronomers has discovered that the outer Milky Way is a mix of two distinct components rotating in opposite directions. "By examining the motions and chemical makeup of the stars, we can see that...
Astronomers spy two planets in tight quarters as they orbit a distant star A research team led by astronomers at the University of Washington and Harvard University has discovered a bigger version of Earth locked in an orbital tug-of-war with a much larger, Neptune-sized planet as they orbit very...

Star factory in the early Universe challenges galaxy evolution theory ESA's Herschel space observatory has discovered an extremely distant galaxy making stars more than 2000 times faster than our own Milky Way. Seen at a time when the Universe was less than a billion years old, its mere existence c...
Messier 75 (also known as M75 or NGC 6864) is a globular cluster in the constellation Sagittarius. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780 and included in Charles Messier's catalogue of comet-like objects that same year. Read more
