New imaging spectrograph eliminates aberrations present in existing instruments. Trenton, New Jersey (PRWEB) May 21, 2012 Princeton Instruments is pleased

The new and highly sensitive Cosmic Origins Spectrograph aboard the Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a strong ultraviolet-wavelength absorber on Pluto's surface, providing new evidence that points to the possibility of complex hydrocarbon and/or nitrile molecules lying on the surface.

New observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope are expanding astronomers' understanding of the ways in which galaxies continuously recycle immense volumes of hydrogen gas and heavy elements.

New instrument shows the gaseous halos of galaxies are much larger and more massive than the distribution of stars within the galaxy.

The Milky Way will have the fuel to continue forming stars, thanks to massive clouds of ionized gas raining down from its halo and intergalactic space.
