Black hole wakes up and has a light snack 02 April 2013 Astronomers have watched as a black hole woke up from a decades-long slumber to feed on a low-mass object - either a brown dwarf or a giant planet - that strayed too close. A similar feeding event, albeit on a gas cloud, will soon happen at the black hole at the centre of our own Milky Way Galaxy. Read more
High mass X-ray binaries trace the Milky Way's spiral arms 04 March 2013 A new study of X-ray emitting binary systems of massive stars, using data from ESA's INTEGRAL space observatory, has made it possible to reconstruct the locations of the Milky Way's spiral arms many millions of years ago.
