The two clearly identifiable galaxies are NGC 7733 and NGC 7734. The third galaxy, currently referred to as NGC 7733N, is visible within the upper arm of NGC 7733.
Cyanobacteria are a key species in Earth's history, as they introduced atmospheric oxygen for the first time. The analysis of their evolution therefore provides important insights into the formation of modern aerobic ecosystems.
Science News: Scientists from around the world are exploring the use of quasiparticles to create super bright light sources. These particles, created when multiple
The map could help the agency decide where the first astronauts to the Red Planet should land. The more available water, the less missions will need to bring. Buried ice will be a vital resource for the first people to set foot on Mars, serving as drinking wa…
