New Map of Space Precisely Measures Nearly 400,000 Nearby Galaxies

NGC 520 is one of the largest and brightest galaxies in the Siena Galaxy Atlas. It is made of two disk galaxies that will eventually merge together to form one massive system. NSF/AURA/NOIRLab/T.A. Rector (University of Alaska Anchorage/NSF’s NOIRLab) & M. Zamani (NSF’s NOIRLab)

Berkeley Lab to Test New Approach to Making Superheavy Elements

Researchers will attempt to make known superheavy elements using a titanium isotope beam later this year. If successful, they may launch an attempt to create a new atom, element 120.
