Hubble Space Telescope detects protective shield defending pair of dwarf galaxies

The scientists used spectroscopic observations of quasar ultraviolet light to detect and map the Magellanic Corona, a diffuse halo of hot, supercharged gas surrounding the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. Depicted in purple, the corona extends more than 100,000 light-years from the main mass of stars, gas and dust that make up the Magellanic Clouds, …

The scientists used spectroscopic observations of quasar ultraviolet light to detect and map the Magellanic Corona, a diffuse halo of hot, supercharged gas surrounding the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. Depicted in purple, the corona extends more than 100,000 light-years out from the main mass of stars, gas and dust that make up the Magellanic …

Hubble Space Telescope spots protective shield against greedy Milky Way

A strange shield of supercharged gas protects dwarf galaxies from being torn apart by the Milky Way’s gravitational pull, 30 years of observations by the Hubble Space Telescope reveal. For years, astronomers have struggled to explain why the Big and Small Magellanic Cloudstwo tiny galaxies orbiting Milky Wayform again stars. The two dwarfs galaxies have …

Hubble detects a protective shield defending a pair of dwarf galaxies

Credit: NASA For billions of years, the Milky Way’s largest satellite galaxies, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, have followed a perilous journey. Orbiting past each other as they are pulled towards our home galaxy, they have begun to crumble, leaving trails of gaseous debris behind. And yet, much to the perplexity of astronomers, these …

Can we live longer? Physicist’s Groundbreaking Discovery in the Genetic Protective Layer

Researchers have discovered a new telomeric DNA structure, which could be the key to living longer. Researchers have discovered a new telomere structure DNA DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule made up of two long strands of nucleotides that wrap around each other to form a double helix. It is the hereditary material in …
