The prison population has surged by hundreds since Christmas, just as an entire high-security complex was destroyed in mayhem at Waikeria. If the muster continues to increase, we re going to have difficulty finding the right beds, Corrections Association president Alan Whitley said today.
To celebrate a new year, the NASA/ESA Space Telescope has published a montage of six beautiful galaxy mergers. Each of these merging systems was studied as part of the recent HiPEEC survey to investigate the rate of new star formation within such systems. These interactions are a key aspect of galaxy evolution and are among the most spectacular events in the lifetime of a galaxy.
