A fluffy cluster of stars spilling across the sky may have a secret hidden in its heart: a swarm of over 100 stellar-mass ...

A newly discovered cluster-scale strong gravitational lens, with a rare alignment of seven background lensed galaxies, provides a unique opportunity to study cosmology.

Ubuntu’s default wallpaper changes every 6 months, with its official reveal forming a major part of the distro’s development cycle. An estimated 22 million people use Ubuntu on the desktop so its ...

Although measuring less than 2mm in length, a globular springtail (Dicyrtomina minuta) is technically easy to find in most people’s backyards—provided you don’t spook it. If the common ...

That honor belongs to a tiny little bug called a globular springtail, whose superfast backflips have now been caught on slow-motion camera for the first time. The globular springtail is a common ...

"Clusters rich in red supergiants are very rare and tend to be very far away, but they play a crucial role in understanding key aspects in the evolution of massive stars." In the past, map makers ...

If you have a running Kubernetes cluster and kubectl configured to access it, run the following command to install the operator: This project follows the typical GitHub pull request model. Before ...

This glittery field is a 10-billion-year-old globular cluster, NGC 6496, and the stars within it are quite special. Not only do they have high metallicity, but some of them are also variable stars.

“When a star encounters a black hole binary, the complex dynamics of this three-body interaction can toss that star right out of the globular cluster,” explained Kyle Kremer of UC San Dieg ...
