"Shiva 'The Destroyer': Unearthing an Enormous Dinosaur"

A newly discovered 98-foot-long dinosaur named Bustingorrytitan shiva, after the Hindu god Shiva, is one of the largest titanosaurs ever recorded, weighing an estimated 74 tons. The fossils were found in western Argentina, and the discovery suggests the coexistence of different lineages of gigantic titanosaurs in the region during the middle Cretaceous period. The species name "shiva" references the Hindu deity who destroys and transforms the universe, and the findings shed light on a turnover event in the Cretaceous period.

Unveiling Shakti and Shiva: Ancient Building Blocks of the Milky Way

Astronomers have identified two of the Milky Way's earliest building blocks, named Shakti and Shiva, which are remnants of galaxies that merged with an early version of the Milky Way between 12 and 13 billion years ago. By combining data from ESA's Gaia mission and the SDSS survey, researchers were able to identify these proto-galactic fragments, shedding light on the early history of our home galaxy and its formation through the merging of smaller galaxies. The discovery provides insight into the origins of stars and the dynamics of galaxy formation, with the potential for additional data from ongoing and upcoming surveys to further confirm these findings.

Unveiling the Ancient Star Streams of the Milky Way

The landing site of Chandrayaan 3, named 'Shiv Shakti', has been approved by the International Astronomical Union, while astronomers have identified two ancient streams of stars in the Milky Way named 'Shakti' and 'Shiva', believed to be among the galaxy's earliest building blocks. These structures, found using data from the Gaia space telescope, are thought to be relics of two distinct galaxies that merged with the Milky Way around 12 billion years ago, shedding light on the galaxy's turbulent early stages.

"Shiva and Shakti: Ancient Star Streams Unveil Milky Way's Earliest Building Blocks"

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy have identified two of the Milky Way’s earliest building blocks, named "Shakti" and "Shiva," which are remnants of galaxies that merged with an early version of the Milky Way 12-13 billion years ago. This discovery, based on data from the Gaia satellite and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, sheds light on the galaxy's initial growth and could be the first additions to the "poor old heart" of the Milky Way, contributing to its evolution into a large galaxy.

"Discovery of 13 Billion-Year-Old Star Streams Unravels Milky Way's Origins"

Astronomers have discovered two massive streams of stars, named Shiva and Shakti, near the center of the Milky Way. These ancient structures, containing stars up to 13 billion years old, may be some of the earliest building blocks of our galaxy. The stars in Shiva and Shakti are extremely metal poor, indicating that they are among the oldest in the Milky Way. The discovery was made using the Gaia space telescope, and further research will help understand how these streams contributed to the galaxy's evolution.

"Unveiling Shakti and Shiva: The Ancient Star Streams at the Heart of the Milky Way"

Astronomers have discovered two ancient streams of stars in the Milky Way, named Shakti and Shiva, which are believed to be among the galaxy's earliest building blocks. These structures, identified using data from the Gaia space telescope, may have originated from two distinct galaxies that merged with the Milky Way around 12 billion years ago. The discovery sheds light on the galaxy's turbulent early stages and provides insight into how galaxies form in the universe. The stars in Shakti and Shiva are "metal poor," containing lesser amounts of heavier elements, and their identification contributes to a better understanding of the Milky Way's formation and evolution.

Unveiling Shiva and Shakti: Ancient Star Streams Weaving the Milky Way

The Gaia space telescope has discovered two ancient streams of stars, named Shakti and Shiva, that merged over 12 billion years ago to form the Milky Way. These streams are among the oldest structures in the galaxy and provide insight into its early formation. By analyzing the orbits and compositions of individual stars, astronomers have gained a better understanding of the Milky Way's ancient history and its growth towards its present size. The research, published in the Astrophysical Journal, highlights the importance of Gaia in uncovering the early cosmic history of our galaxy.

"Scientists Name Milky Way Galaxy's Earliest Building Blocks Shakti and Shiva"

Astronomers have identified the earliest "building blocks" of the Milky Way galaxy, naming them Shakti and Shiva, which formed 12-13 billion years ago. These groups of stars are believed to have originated from merging galaxies and exhibit distinct energy and angular momentum signatures. The stars are low in metal content, indicating their formation a long time ago, and are considered potential ancestors of the Milky Way. The research, based on data from the Gaia satellite and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, sheds light on the galaxy's early formation.
