Treating glioblastoma, diagnosing hidden hearing loss and improving organ transplant outcomes are among the projects researchers are pursuing with assistance from the Pat & Shirley Ryan Family Research Acceleration Fund.
A balloon-like structure has been hiding in plain sight in the center of our galaxy.
Using South African Radio Astronomy Observatory’s MeerKAT telescope, professor Farhad Yusef-Zadeh and an international team of researchers discovered a gigantic, balloon-like structure in the center of the Milky Way. The newly spotted pair of radio-emitting bubbles spans hundreds of light-years. In this composite view, the sky to the left of the second-nearest antenna is the night sky visible to the unaided eye, and the radio image to the right has been enlarged to highlight its features.
