UMass Amherst astronomer reveals never-before-seen detail of the center of our galaxy
Amherst MA (SPX) May 28, 2021
New research by University of Massachusetts Amherst astronomer Daniel Wang reveals, with unprecedented clarity, details of violent phenomena in the center of our galaxy. The images, published recently in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, document an X-ray thread, G0.17-0.41, which hints at a previously unknown interstellar mechanism that may govern the energy flow and potentiall

Dark energy survey releases most precise look at the universe's evolution
Washington DC (SPX) May 28, 2021
In 29 new scientific papers, the Dark Energy Survey examines the largest-ever maps of galaxy distribution and shapes, extending more than 7 billion light-years across the Universe. The extraordinarily precise analysis, which includes data from the survey's first three years, contributes to the most powerful test of the current best model of the Universe, the standard cosmological model. However,

Hubble inspects a contorted spiral galaxy
Munich, Germany (SPX) May 28, 2021
This striking image showcases the unusually contorted appearance of NGC 2276, an appearance caused by two different astrophysical interactions - one with the superheated gas pervading galaxy clusters, and one with a nearby galactic neighbour.
The interaction of NGC 2276 with the intracluster medium - the superheated gas lying between the galaxies in galaxy clusters - has ignited a burst of

New NASA Student Challenge offers hands-on tech development
Washington DC (SPX) May 28, 2021
NASA will initiate a new competition for the 2021-22 school year, providing student teams a chance to design, build, and launch experiments on suborbital rockets and high-altitude balloon flights. NASA and Future Engineers, the challenge administrator, will offer a series of virtual events for educators to hear from agency experts and learn more about this exciting opportunity for students.

Dark matter particle explorer measures cosmic ray helium energy spectrum
Beijing, China (SPX) May 31, 2021
Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) Collaboration directly observed a spectral softening of helium nuclei at about 34TeV for the first time. This work was based on measurements data of the helium spectrum with kinetic energies from 70 GeV to 80 TeV (17.5 GeV/n to 20 TeV/n for per nucleon) recorded by the DAMPE.
Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) offers important ways to deeply understand the astro
