Surprise discover: The Most distant galaxy with black hole

An amazing news found in a Most distant(12.8 billion light-years far from Earth) Galaxy.

The most distant known galaxy to host a supermassive black hole has been discovered in a galaxy that formed in the early history of the universe. 

The galaxy, as large as the Milky Way, is about 12.8 billion light-years away and harbors a supermassive black hole that contains at least a billion times as much matter as our sun. The universe is about 13.7 billion years old, and faraway objects like this are seen as they existed near the dawn of time, their light just now arriving at Earth. 

The find, to be detailed in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society later this month, was unexpected:

Italian Antitrust agency blamed Google

ROME, ITALY: "Google's Italian news website coerced Italian newspapers into posting their stories to include U.S. parent Google Inc." Said, 'Italian antitrust agency on Friday in its broadening investigation report .'

The competition authority launched the probe this week after the Italian Federation of Newspaper Editors alleged that any publication refusing to appear on the Google News Italia (news.google.it) website was excluded from Google's search engine. 

"Considering that, from the assembled documents, it appears that Google News Italia is managed by the company Google Inc ... it is deemed necessary to broaden the ongoing investigation to the company Google Inc.," the competition watchdog said in a statement on its website (www.agcm.it/). 

It said the company had 30 days in which to present its case to competition authorities. 

A spokeswoman for Google in Italy was not immediately available for comment. 

The newspapers have alleged that Google's use of their online material on its Italian website hurt their ability to attract readers and advertisers to their home pages but if they did not allow them to appear on the site they were barred from its search engine. 

The antitrust body, which opened the probe under EU law governing the abuse of dominant market position, said it was investigating whether Google was distorting the online advertising market. 

Google and its competitor Yahoo face complaints from news providers in the United States and elsewhere that their search engines make money from news generated by others. 

Google has argued that it helps newspaper websites make money through online advertising and does not misappropriate content.

Astronauts embark spacewalk at the international space station

A couple of astronauts have stepped out on a spacewalk at the international space station.

The first spacewalk of the mission got underway Tuesday evening, shortly after the space station got a new $5 million treadmill. The treadmill is named after TV comedian Stephen Colbert, who was out of the country Tuesday. But he said through his New York publicist that he was proud his treadmill would be used "to help trim down those famously fat astronauts."


Spacewalkers Nicole Stott and Danny Olivas will remove an old ammonia tank from the space station. A new, fully loaded tank will be installed during another spacewalk Thursday as part of the cooling system. In all, three spacewalks are planned during shuttle Discovery's visit.
