A NASA-led team is studying the construction of a railway in space for a pair of telescopes that will provide views of planet, star, and galaxy formation in unprecedented detail. The proposed Space Infrared Interferometric Telescope (SPIRIT) mission will also examine the atmospheric chemistry of giant planets around other stars.

US astronomers have discovered massive new galaxies evolving in our corner of the universe. This means that galaxy-forming processes thought to have ended eons ago continue relatively nearby

Two independent teams of astronomers are reporting that they might be zeroing in on the time that bright galaxies began to light up the primordial universe.

STUNNING images have captured what astronomers call &quot;the graceful interactions of a galactic ballet, played out on a stage some 300 million light years away&quot;.

NASA&#39;s Galaxy Evolution Explorer has discovered larger and younger than expected galaxies. The NASA craft found three dozen galaxies emitting ultraviolet light at levels that would indicate supernovas are still exploding.

Theorists probably right, after all Astronomers have uncovered more than 500 previously unknown young galaxies in images of the early universe taken during the Hubble Space Telescope's ultra deep field survey, completed in 2004, and the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS), made in 2003.â¦

Astronomers have observed for the first time a jet of matter spiraling outward from an infant star, as if a lengthy strand of curly pasta.

An embryonic star, just beginning its life as the center of a planetary system, is apparently deluged with massive rainfall as icy material vaporizes and refreezes. Astronomers are observing one such star in a nebula about 1,000 light years from Earth with the Spitzer Space Telescope.

The aging Hubble Space Telescope --  a path-breaking scientific instrument whose eye-catching images  have won fans around the world -- would die in orbit under the  2006 budget for NASA proposed on Monday.

&quot;It&#39;s like finding a living fossil in your own back yard,&quot; said Tim Heckman of Johns Hopkins. &quot;We thought this type of galaxy had gone extinct, but in fact newborn galaxies are alive and well in the universe.

Since June 2003, NASA has been investigating the possibility of using a robotic spacecraft to service Hubble. Such a mission would not put the lives of astronauts in jeopardy.

The things astronomers discover as they probe deeper into the universe -- orphaned baby stars, planet-devouring black holes -- paint a bleak picture of "out there." Heck, we might as well stay home.
