Hubble Spots Green Remnants Of Colliding Galaxies Near Dead Quasars
April 3, 2015 | Editors
Quasars are known to be super-energetic and compact regions surrounding a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy. Quasars usually get their luminosity and electromagnetic energy from the nearby black holes that spew back tons of energy in various forms while they feed on the mass from their surroundings.

Spectacular Image: Hundreds Of Galaxies On An Collision Course
March 22, 2015 | Editors
Far away from Earth, the ongoing collision of dense galaxy clusters is creating a stunning show of radio waves. In the region, where clusters of hundreds of galaxies are colliding, these variety of objects are visible only to radio telescopes. Scientists created a ‘true colour’ image of the region to reveal what it would look like if humans could see radio waves, rather than just visible light. Read More
