PAPER ACCEPTED ! I HAS ALL THE WIN !

PAPER ACCEPTED ! I HAS ALL THE WIN !

Err, I mean, this is an important breakthrough which will revolutionise science and push the boundaries of human knowledge !

... no, that's not right either...

This is a fairly interesting discovery which gently prods the boundaries of human knowledge. We found a bunch of galaxies with some extremely long gas streams, which is kindof neat. We're doing a press release on this one, but you heard it here first.

I'll have more to say on this, of course. Placeholder post intended to be replaced with a better summary.

What stops galaxies from forming stars ? Normally I'm most interested in this for objects which have hardly any stars at all : ultra dif...

    Of course you can prove a negative. In one sense this can be the easiest thing in the world : your theory predicts something which doesn...
