FILTER RESULTS ►Herschel Space Observatory Discovers Two Galaxies Colliding With Each Other
"Merger" is usually such a dull word. Companies merge. Lanes of traffic merge. But it's not all bland and boring, because large galaxies can also merge with one another to form what is scientifically referred to as a "super-giant elliptical galaxy," according to NASA -- and apparently it's happening right now.

The secrets of galaxy evolution
A rare encounter between two gas-rich galaxies spotted by ESA’s (European Space Agency) Herschel space observatory indicates a solution to an outstanding problem: how did massive, passive galaxies form in the early Universe? read mo...
Hot molecular gas drawn to supermassive black hole at Milky Way center
The European Space Agency's (ESA) Herschel space observatory has made detailed observations of surprisingly hot molecular gas that may be orbiting or falling towards the supermassive black hole lurking at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. read more
Milky Way black hole snacks on hot gas
The Herschel space observatory has made detailed observations of surprisingly hot gas that may be orbiting or falling towards the supermassive black hole lurking at the center of our Milky Way galaxy.
Exploring the Universe: Herschel Telescope Photos
The European Space Agency’s Herschel Space Observatory has completed its work.
RIP The World’s Largest Infrared Telescope
The Herschel Space Observatory was the world’s largest and most powerful infrared telescope, able to see parts of the universe nothing else could. Unfortunately, it met its maker last night when it ran out of the liquid helium coolant it requires to map hidden corners of the cosmos. More »
Herschel Space Telescope Goes Blind
One of the most powerful pieces of space equipment ever launched has lost its ability to collect data. As was always inevitable, the Herschel Space Observatory has run out of the helium needed to cool instruments. The observatory, built and run by the European Space Agency, was launched in 2009. It used a 3.5 meter [...]
World's Largest Infrared Space Telescope Shuts Down Forever
After nearly four years mapping the "hidden universe," the largest infrared telescope ever launched into space has reached the end of its life, European Space Agency officials say.
The $1.4 billion Herschel Space Observatory has exhausted...Show More Summary
Too Beautiful for This Universe: Herschel Space Telescope Shuts Down for Good
It's with great sadness today that we bring you news of the passing of the Herschel Space Observatory. After more than three years of dutiful service to astronomers and appreciators of the beauty of space, the telescope's supply of liquid helium coolant has run dry, and the telescope is officially out of commission.
Herschel completes its 'cool' journey in space
The Herschel observatory, a European space telescope for which NASA helped build instruments and process data, has stopped making observations after running out of liquid coolant as expected. The European Space Agency mission, launched almost four years ago, revealed the universe's "coolest" secrets by observing the frigid side of planet, star and galaxy formation.
Herschel space telescope shuts down
All good things come to an end and the European Space Agency’s Herschel Space Observatory mission is no exception. After more than three years in orbit, the most powerful infrared telescope ever flown in space has ceased scientific operations...Show More Summary
Herschel spacecraft going dark as liquid helium coolant supply exhausted
The European Space Agency's Herschel (ESA) space observatory has exhausted its supply of liquid helium coolant, ending more than three years of pioneering observations of the cool Universe. read more
Jupiter's water linked to comet impact
The European Space Agency's (ESA) Herschel space observatory has solved a long-standing mystery as to the origin of water in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter, finding conclusive evidence that it was delivered by the dramatic impact of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in July 1994. read more
Origin of Jupiter's Water Solved --The Massive 1994 Comet Bombardment
ESA's Herschel space observatory has solved a long-standing mystery as to the origin of water in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter, finding conclusive evidence that it was delivered by the dramatic impact of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in July 1994. During...
Astronomers are surprised to find a young galaxy producing new stars
Astronomers have discovered an extremely distant galaxy that is expanding by more than 2000 new stars each year.Using the European Space Agency's Herschel space observatory they have seen images of the galaxy as it was when the Universe...Show More Summary
Planets and debris litter this "retired" star
ESA’s Herschel space observatory has provided the first images of a dust belt – produced by colliding comets or asteroids – orbiting a subgiant star known to host a planetary system. read more
"Mysterious and Intriguing Star System" Observed --Two Planets and a Possible Brown Dwarf Companion
ESA's Herschel space observatory has provided the first images of a dust belt – produced by colliding comets or asteroids – orbiting a subgiant star known to host a planetary system. The team of scientists who made the discovery publishes...
Retired star found with planets and debris disc
The European Space Agency's Herschel space observatory has provided the first images of a dust belt -- produced by colliding comets or asteroids -- orbiting a subgiant star known to host a planetary system.
Wired Space Photo of the Day: High-Mass Star Formation
In this new view of a vast star-forming cloud called W3, ESA’s Herschel space observatory tells the story of how massive stars are born. W3 is a giant molecular cloud containing an enormous stellar nursery, some 6,200 light-years away in...
