MON Only in the last 50 years have telescopes been powerful MON enough to study distant galaxies beyond our Milky Way in MON much detail. Cygnus A first came to astronomers' attention MON as a radio source, the second strongest in the sky. Optical MON astronomers later realised that it was a pair of galaxies MON colliding with one another. It is a colossal 700 million MON light years away, making its radio output a million times MON more powerful than that of our Milky Way. Energetic MON reactions were taking place in its core, shooting out great MON jets of high energy particles emitting radio waves. MON The next breakthrough came from an even more distant object MON over 2 billion light years away. At its heart was something MON 40 times more luminous than a normal galaxy yet no bigger MON than the solar system. These mysterious powerhouses were MON named quasi-stellar radio sources, now abbreviated to MON quasars. The consensus now is that they are massive black MON holes, millions or even billions of times the mass of our MON Sun, gobbling stars and gas in the centres of galaxies. MON Readers are Timothy West, Robin Sebastian, Julian Rhind-Tutt MON and John Palmer. MON MON 14:30 Joseph Roth - Rebellion b0214zdc (Listen) MON 4 Extra Debut.

TUE In 1933, Fritz Zwicky realised that a huge cluster of TUE galaxies is being held together by something more powerful TUE than the gravitational pull of the visible matter. In the TUE 1960s, Vera Rubin was coming to the same conclusion from TUE studying the rotation of stars within individual galaxies. TUE The conclusion was inescapable; all the visible stars and TUE gas comprise a mere fraction of the total matter in the TUE universe. Dark matter exists, although nobody knows what it TUE is. TUE The question remains unanswered, though now there are many TUE theories. It is hoped that elaborate experiments in particle TUE accelerators may cast some light on the subject.

FRI Until the modern era of astrophysics, nobody knew what made FRI stars shine. The answer arose from the nuclear age. The sun FRI and stars are like giant hydrogen bombs, controlled nuclear FRI explosions. FRI In the 1950s, Fred Hoyle and his colleagues showed how new FRI elements are created in stars as they burn hydrogen and FRI helium. In the case of relatively small stars such as our FRI sun, the fuel eventually runs out, the bloated outer layers FRI are lost into space and a slowly cooling white dwarf FRI remains. But massive stars begin to collapse in on FRI themselves when fuel runs out at the core, creating a huge FRI explosion known as a supernova. FRI Readers are Timothy West, Robin Sebastian, Julian Rhind-Tutt FRI and John Palmer.
