Galileo findings
The invention of the telescope played an important role in advancing our understanding of Earth s place in the cosmos. While there is evidence that the principals of telescopes were known in the late 16th century, the first telescopes were created in the Netherlands in 1608. Spectacle makers Hans Lippershey & Zacharias Janssen and Jacob Metius independently created…

Researchers have found evidence that the disordered early brain development seen in young children with autism results from problems cascading through entire pathways of gene activity. These networks involve hundreds of genes. Some control the number of brain cells created in a very young brain. Others are responsible for detecting and correcting problems during crucial periods…

New Galaxies, Discovered
Hundreds of hidden nearby galaxies have been studied for the first time, shedding light on a mysterious gravitational anomaly dubbed the Great Attractor. Despite being just 250 million light years from Earth—very close in astronomical terms—the new galaxies had been hidden from view until now by our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Using CSIRO’s Parkes radio telescope equipped with…

Photo credit: Thorsten Brand The stars are moving so fast, they almost have enough speed to escape our Milky Way. A team of astronomers have discovered something extraordinarily bizarre: On the outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy, a binary star is moving with speeds at almost the escape velocity of our galaxy. That would require an object to be moving at 537 kilometers per second…
