Active galactic nucleus Models of the active nucleus [edit]. For a long time it has been argued that an AGN must be powered by accretion of mass onto massive black holes (10 6 to 10 10 times the Solar mass). AGN are both compact and persistently extremely luminous.

The Nearest Superclusters Hydra Supercluster: The only galaxy-rich cluster in the Hydra Supercluster, is the Hydra Cluster (Abell 1060). It contains a similar number of galaxies to the Virgo Cluster. There are other smaller clusters too-the richest of these is the Antlia Cluster.erseus-Pices Supercluster: The Perseus-Pisces supercluster is made up of many galaxy clusters which form a long, dense wall which stretches almost 300 million light years. At one end of it is the Perseus Cluster (Abell 426), which is one of the most massive galaxy clusters within 500 million years of us.

Galaxy This is because the mass of a galaxy holds the galaxy together, and the same applies to the groups of galaxies, such as our Local Group. The gravitation is produced by the matter and energy in a galaxy or group of galaxies.

Microwave Telescopes Microwave Telescopes How does a microwave telescope work? Microwave radiation spans a range of wavelengths that can be produced by very cold astronomical sources, or by warm sources like protoplanetary disks and clouds of interstellar molecules. Microwave telescopes must be able to act somewhat like infrared telescopes and somewhat like radio telescopes. They therefore are built and operated using a fascinating blend of technologies. Depending on the scientific goals, they can be put in space, in high-altitude balloons, or on the ground at mountaintop observatories.

Biggest explosions in the universe powered by strongest magnets Biggest explosions in the universe powered by strongest magnets. Some long-duration gamma-ray bursts are driven by magnetars. FULL STORY. This artist's impression shows a supernova and associated gamma-ray burst driven by a rapidly spinning neutron star with a very strong magnetic field -- an exotic object known as a magnetar.

- The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy and is part of the Local Group of galaxies. Ours is merely is one of billions of galaxies in the observable universe. Our sun is 25,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way. The oldest star in the galaxy is 13.2 billion years old.

Found: The Fastest-Approaching Object in the Universe Neither the solar system nor the galaxy is expanding. Not even the Local Group—the collection of approximately 75 galaxies that includes the Milky Way—expands. In fact, the Local Group's largest member, the Andromeda Galaxy, is moving toward us: it has a blueshift of 300 kilometers per second.

Active galaxies and black holes Matter near a black hole will fall into it, and will heat up while doing so. The energy that it emits as a result is responsible for the observed activity. To explain the observed energy output, the black holes in active galaxies must have masses of a million to a billion times that of the Sun.

Galaxy A galaxy is a gravitationally bound system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter. The word galaxy is derived from the Greek galaxias, literally milky, a reference to the Milky Way. Galaxies range in size from dwarfs with just a few hundred million stars to giants with one hundred trillion stars, each orbiting its galaxy's center of mass. Galaxies are categorized according to their visual morphology as elliptical, spiral, or irregular. Many galaxies are thought to

Galaxy A galaxy is a large collection of stars, glowing nebulae (clouds), gas, and dust bound together by gravity. Many scientists now believe that a black hole, the remains of a massive star, lies at the center of many galaxies. Galaxies are as plentiful in the universe as grains of sand on a beach.

Astronomy The central region of the Milky Way Galaxy is so heavily obscured by dust that direct observation has become possible only with the development of astronomy at nonvisual wavelengths—namely, radio, infrared, and, more recently, X-ray and gamma-ray wavelengths.

Radio Waves Detected Coming From Center of Galaxy March 2, 2005. Astronomers have detected an unusual, powerful burst of intermittent radio waves emanating from the direction of the center of our galaxy. Now the search is on to trace the source of the mystery radio bursts, or at least find more like it. Was it a dying star burping its last radio emissions?

Spiral galaxy Either way, spiral arms contain many young, blue stars (due to the high mass density and the high rate of star formation), which make the arms so bright. Galactic bulge. A bulge is a huge, tightly packed group of stars. The term commonly refers to the central group of stars found in most spiral galaxies. Using the Hubble classification, the bulge of Sa galaxies is usually composed of Population II stars, that are old, red stars with low metal content.

Tech Feature: Active Motor and Trans Mounts On the Toyota application (which is similar to the active mount systems that Honda and Hyundai use), power to the VSV control valve is routed through the fuel injection relay. Vacuum is routed to the active mount through a pair of hoses connected to the engine’s vacuum reservoir.

Dwarf galaxy In astronomy, a blue compact dwarf galaxy (BCD galaxy) is a small galaxy which contains large clusters of young, hot, massive stars. These stars, the brightest of which are blue, cause the galaxy itself to appear blue in colour.

- It is believed that the Olmecs of Mexico developed a writing system over 3,000 years ago-he oldest known writing in the Americas. The Zapotecs in the same area had writing … by 500 BC (2,500 years ago); Mayan glyphs appeared in Yucatan, Honduras, Guatemala and Belize by about 250 BC (2,250 years ago).ign language was developed throughout North, Central and South America and was not invented by any single tribe. Most native sign language (like that used in the eastern wood … lands) was never recorded by early explorers and is lost to history.
