ESA adopts galactic archae­ology mission Arrakihs

The Euro­pean Space Agency’s (ESA) Science Programme Committee has adopted the Ar­rak­ih­s mis­sion. Planned for launch by the end of 2030, Arrakihs will capture the faint light from nearby galaxy haloes. By seeing the unseen, Arrakihs will dig up cosmic history and reveal how galaxies like our own form and evolve.

Euclid’s view of the ‘Mor­pho­log­i­cal Tun­ing Fork’ of gal­axy clas­si­fi­ca­tions

After only two years of observations, ESA’s space telescope Euclid is shedding new light on a long-standing question about the remarkable diversity of galaxies in the Universe. Just like flowers, galaxies come in different colours, sizes, masses, and shapes – all of which are captured in a single word that defines a galaxy: its morphology.

“Dark Galaxy” Dis­cov­ered in the Perseus Clus­ter

An international research team, including Francine Marleau of the University of Innsbruck, has identified a nearly invisible galaxy in the Perseus cluster. The "dark galaxy" was discovered through statistical analyses, which were subsequently confirmed with observational data from telescopes.
