Greenbelt MD (SPX) Sep 24, 2009
Every 11 years, the sun undergoes a furious upheaval. Dark sunspots burst forth from beneath the sun's surface. Explosions as powerful as a billion atomic bombs spark intense flares of high-energy radiation. Clouds of gas big enough to swallow planets break away and billow into space. It's a flamboyant display of stellar power. So why can't we see any of it? Almost none of the drama ... read more

Messenger Spacecraft Prepares For Final Pass By Mercury
Laurel MD (SPX) Sep 24, 2009

    Astronomy Question Of The Week: How Quickly Is The Universe Expanding
    Bonn, Germany (SPX) Sep 23, 2009
    In the 1920s, Edwin Powell Hubble was analysing the distances between Earth and various galaxies using the Mount Wilson Observatory in California. In the process, he measured the electromagnetic radiation of the galaxies and discovered mostly what are known as 'redshifts' in their spectra; that is, in the distributions of the various wavelengths. The Doppler effect, among other things, is ... more
