Bad News. Planets Orbiting Red Dwarfs Might not have the Raw Materials for Life
11 Jan 01:00:01 | Universe Today
New research from the Hubble Space Telescope and the ESO’s Very Large Telescope is dampening some of the enthusiasm in the search for life. Observations by both ‘scopes suggest that the raw materials necessary for life may be rare in solar systems centered around red dwarfs. And if the raw materials aren’t there, it may …

Check out this Amazing Picture of the Triangulum Galaxy by Hubble.
09 Jan 01:00:01 | Universe Today
To the unaided eye, the Triangulum Galaxy is just a smudge in the night sky. But it’s a smudge that contains about 40 billion stars. It also contains some very active star-forming regions, which have attracted the eyes of astronomers. The Triangulum has a couple other names: Messier 33 and NGC 598. But Triangulum is …
