Using the Nanshan One-meter Wide-field Telescope (NOWT), astronomers from China have performed a photometric survey of the old open cluster NGC 188. In result, they identified many variable stars, one of which was detected ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers from the University of Padua, Italy, and elsewhere have observed a metal-poor globular cluster known as Messier 92. The observations ...
To sit under the vast expanse of stars is to imagine swimming across shining, stellar rivers, creeks and tributaries. But to sit here also is to feel that lump in your throat and skip in your heart, realizing everything you ...
