Making Sense of Active Galaxies
Article Abstract:
The Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory, in Armenia, had been in a state of disrepair until 1998 when it was repaired and the site of a symposium sponsored by the International Astronomical Union. The meeting honored astrophysicist Victor Ambartsumian and his work with active galaxies. Thirty years after Ambartsumian's seminal work many questions have been answered.

The Mystery of the Migrating Galaxy Clusters
Article Abstract:
Some astronomers have found evidence that may suggest that clusters of galaxies may be moving light years away, but they cannot agree on the actual logistics of the movement. Astronomers from University of Victoria in Canada, Cornell University and Stanford University are working to shed some light on this phenomenon.

Do galaxies fly through the universe in formation?
Article Abstract:
A recent study of many parts of the sky supported a controversial 1976 claim that redshift of celestial objects appear only in quantized speeds. Standard models of the universe give no reason why redshift would be restricted to multiples of one fundamental speed, which was measured at 37.2 km/sec.
