Hubble captures the widest image of COSMOS field in infrared

This is a recently released Hubble's image of the COSMOS field - part of the sky used by astronomers to study the distant universe. It contains pictures of many galaxies, some of them with redshift over 2. That means their light has been stretched by the expansion of the universe into the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

New super-earth discovered on the edge of habitable zone of nearby red dwarf

Astronomers report discovery of a new exoplanet orbiting star Ross 508. This small red dwarf is 37 light years away, which is nearby in galactic terms. The exoplanet Ross 508 b is a super-earth 4 times more massive than our planet. It orbits its star once in 11 days, which puts it close to its habitable zone.

Discovery of unusually slowly rotating pulsar

Astronomers led by Manisha Caleb report discovery of previously unknown radio source PSR J0901-4046. It seems to be emitted by a pulsar (neutron star), but the time between the pulses is unusually long - 76 seconds. Previous slowest pulsar PSR J0250+5854 had a period of 24 seconds.

Distant galaxies contain more massive stars than those in our neighborhood

New research shows that the distribution of massive, medium and light stars vary greatly between close and distant galaxies. It looks like more distant galaxies tend to have more of the massive stars.
