SALT LAKE CITY – The Republican Party's presidential choice for 2012 unleashed a scathing attack Thursday on the frontrunner to claim this year's nomination in an historic "first" in presidential politics.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney amped up the current GOP Civil War, decrying the dangers posed by a Donald Trump presidency in a widely broadcast speech delivered to students at the University of Utah.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Astronomers say they have discovered a hot, star-popping galaxy that is far, far away — farther than any previously detected, from a time when the universe was a mere toddler of about 400 million years old.
By employing a different technique — one that has raised some skepticism — a team of astronomers exposed a time period they'd thought was impossible to observe with today's technology. They used the Hubble Space Telescope and found the light wave signature of an extremely bright galaxy 13.4 billion light-years away, according to a study published Thursday by Astrophysical Journal. The margin of error is plus or minus 5 million light-years. A light-year is about 5.8 trillion miles.
