Through stars and fireworks swirling in front of his eyes, he saw Nugun rushing in again.
She felt sick from the spinning and thought that the stars swirling past the viewport looked like what she'd thought she would see in the wormhole.
Using instruments at the Gemini Observatory to measure the speed of stars swirling in the cluster's core, E. Noyola and colleagues found that stars closer to the core are moving faster than stars farther away.
If Newton's laws of gravity held over cosmic distances, huge amounts of it were needed to provide the gravitational glue to keep clusters of galaxies from flying apart, and to keep the stars swirling around in galaxies at high speed.
Measuring the speed of the stars swirling near the cluster's center with the Gemini Observatory, the astronomers found that the stars closer to the core are moving faster than the stars farther away.
With stars swirling around her she advanced across the floor and laid her hands upon the rounded shoulders of the image--the sword, forgotten, making a sort of accolade against its hunched neck--and lifted her red head and laid her mouth blindly against the pursed lips of the image.
In the latest such observation, the Hubble Space Telescope detected the rapid motion of stars swirling about the center of M32, a galaxy 2.3 million light-years away and thus a relative neighbor in cosmic terms.
