Much to astronomers&#39; surprise 36 new galaxies have been discovered between two and four billion light years away. Until now astronomers had believed that 14 billion years after the Big Bang, cosmic creation

Using a map of more than 4,000 luminous quasars in the distant universe, scientists from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-II) have shown that these brilliant beacons are strongly clumped, with huge quasar superclusters separated by vast stretches of empty space.

Tycho:  Gabriel and Kara are thinking about moving, but only one of them is approaching things with the correct amount of dread.  It is almost impossible to find a home these days which is not some unholy conduit - a winking anus of evil that acts as a revolving door for hell's starveling dead.  But a hollowed-out ghoul in shredded wedding gown doesn't need to be a dealbreaker.  Don't let a sundered soul turn your dream home into a nightmare charnel house!

Since the K5 Emperor of Icecream, eavier, foisted the augean task of ghetto-reviewing onto my skinny shoulders this year, here goes. First, we begin with the grimy w/hole itself, and then move to the individual rotting parts thereof. The obvious changes to the ghetto landscape were: trhurler didn't come back from his hike, MichaelCrawford started giving it away, my kuron brethren were badly trolled by a xanax-popping dysfunctional alcoholic), both Egil and insomnyuk decided to suicidomize themselfs, NIWS/Spellcheckbot attacked (again), and rusty took apart his bathroom and added walls to K5.   Rotting parts inside:

Black hole death ray caught on camera NASA has identified a rather unfriendly galaxy which is blasting its neighbour with a black-hole generated jet in what the agency calls "never-before witnessed galactic violence".â¦

Astronomers have spotted two monster galactic clusters slamming together in one of the biggest collisions ever recorded. The smash-up poses no danger to Earth -- it is about 800 million light-years away, and

The largest explosion ever seen in space reveals black holes to be more influential    than expected, perhaps sometimes stifling star formation in a galaxy while    gobbling up trillions upon trillions of tons of gas.

An international team of scientists described this week one of the most cataclysmic events in the universe, cosmic cannibalism in which one massive galaxy cluster is gobbling its smaller neighbor.

Astronomers are watching a galaxy rip to shreds, a finding that could help reveal how galaxies go from stellar riches to rags.

Astronomers think they have found a rare if not unique black hole very near the center of the Milky Way. That would make two of the beasts in that part of the galaxy.

Scientists have now officially witnessed the perfect cosmic storm. Thanks to the European Space Agency&#39;s XMM-Newton observatory, they watched a nearby head-on collision between two galaxy clusters.

s collisions go, the one taking place in the vicinity of the constellation Hydra is a doozy. Out there, some 800 million light-years from Earth, two galactic clusters - one with about 1,000
