Astrophys. Inst. Potsdam - Galaxies & Quasars
Galaxies and Quasars We study the structure and evolution of galaxies, with the aim to explain their present diversity of forms, sizes and colours. The targets of our research span a huge range in linear sizes, from galaxy clusters, the largest gravitationally bound entities in the universe, to supermassive black holes in the centres of galaxies.COSMOTIONS - Timelapse Videos of the Real Cosmos

Stellarium
Stellarium 0.11.2 is a stable version that introduces some new features and closes 47 bug and wishlist reports. A lot of work has been done on making translatable text that wasn't localized before. This includes most of the text used by the default plug-ins, landscapes, countries, script names and descriptions. The Oculars plug-in now has an optional control panel with buttons for those affected by the "missing menu" bug, but it needs to be enabled in the Oculars configuration window. An feature for importing new satellites has been added to the Satellites plug-in, so be sure to reset its settings to get the new data sources.The planets that survived being inside a star (Apr 3, 2012) Two small planets found orbiting KIC 05807616 may be fragments of a much larger world that was swallowed up when the star became a red giant . A massive super-Jupiter, a new theory suggests, broke apart in the intense heat leaving behind the fragments we now see circling around the star after its surface receded. Is nature natural?
