Astronomers at Chalmers and Onsala Space Observatory have discovered seven supernovae – previously unknown – in a galaxy 250 million light years away. This is the first time so many supernovae have been discovered in the same galaxy, acting as supporting evidence for the long-suspected theory that the universe’s most efficient star factories are also supernova factories.

Located in the Chilean Atacama desert, the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) Observatory will allow astronomers to study distant phenomena, says Dr Wolfgang Wild, European ALMA Project Manager at the European Southern Observatory (ESO).

A second earth discovered
The existence of an Earth-like planet has been confirmed by astronomers. Kepler 22-b has been discovered to be orbiting a star not unlike our Sun, located approximately 600 light years away. It is around 2.4 times the size of Earth and has a temperature of about 22C. Despite it’s resemblance to Earth, the Keplar team are as of yet unsure whether Kepler 22-b is made of rock, gas or liquid.
