High-Speed Gas Clouds Fuel Star Formation in Depleted Galaxies
Reported by Universe Today
How do galaxies like ours continue producing stars long after they should have used up their star-forming gas. Somehow, an external gas source must find its way into the galaxy. New research has found evidence of gas clouds that found their way into a spir...

If Dark Energy is Decreasing, is the Big Crunch Back on the Menu?
Reported by Universe Today
Astronomers once wondered if the Universe might one day collapse in on itself in a Big Crunch, but the discovery of dark energy suggested that the expansion of the Universe would accelerate, removing that possibility. New data from the Dark Energy Spectros...
