It's a galaxy that gives births to more stars in a day than ours does in a year. Astronomers used NASA's Chandra X-Ray telescope to spot this distant gigantic galaxy creating about 740 new stars a year. The Detailed Universe: This will Blow Your Mind. Astronomy. SPACE. Astronomy. NASA.
Astrophysics Science Division (NASA) Overview The Astrophysics Science Division conducts a broad program of research in astronomy, astrophysics, and fundamental physics.
Individual investigations address issues such as the nature of dark matter and dark energy, which planets outside our solar system may harbor life, and the nature of space, time, and matter at the edges of black holes. Observing photons, particles, and gravitational waves enables researchers to probe astrophysical objects and processes. Researchers develop theoretical models, design experiments and hardware to test theories, interpret and evaluate the data, archive and disseminate the data, provide expert user support to the scientific community, and publish conclusions drawn from research.
