Astronomy
Astronomers have measured the motions of stars for the first time in a very distant galaxy, speeding around its host at twice the speed of our Sun through the Milky Way.
The speeding stars may help astronomers understand how such compact galaxies form so early in the Universe and then evolve into the galaxies we see in today's 13.7 billion year old Universe.
It will also help to see how these galaxies are formed with the help of Hubble's new Wide Field Camera 3.

Dust plays an important role in the evolution of galaxies like our Milky Way.With the help of NASA's Spitzer space telescope researchers have observed dust forming around the carbon star MAG 29, located 280,000 light years away from a smaller galaxy...
