Examining The Center Of The Milky Way
Boston MA (SPX) Nov 11, 2009
In celebration of the International Year of Astronomy 2009, NASA's Great Observatories - the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the Chandra X-ray Observatory - have collaborated to produce an unprecedented image of the central region of our Milky Way galaxy. In this spectacular image, observations using infrared light and X-ray light see through the obscuring dust ... read more

The 2009 Leonid Meteor Shower
Huntsville AL (SPX) Nov 11, 2009
This year's Leonid meteor shower peaks on Tuesday, Nov. 17th. If forecasters are correct, the shower should produce a mild but pretty sprinkling of meteors over North America followed by a more intense outburst over Asia. The phase of the Moon will be new, setting the stage for what could be one of the best Leonid showers in years. "We're predicting 20 to 30 meteors per hour over the ... more

    Hubble Image Showcases Star Birth In Spiral Galaxy M83
    Baltimore MD (SPX) Nov 09, 2009
    The spectacular new camera installed on NASA's Hubble Space Telescope during Servicing Mission 4 in May has delivered the most detailed view of star birth in the graceful, curving arms of the nearby spiral galaxy M83. Nicknamed the Southern Pinwheel, M83 is undergoing more rapid star formation than our own Milky Way galaxy, especially in its nucleus. The sharp "eye" of the Wide Field ... more

    Swift XMM-Newton Satellites Tune Into A Middleweight Black Hole
    Washington DC (SPX) Nov 11, 2009
    While astronomers have studied lightweight and heavyweight black holes for decades, the evidence for black holes with intermediate masses has been much harder to come by. Now, astronomers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., find that an X-ray source in galaxy NGC 5408 represents one of the best cases for a middleweight black hole to date. "Intermediate-mass black holes ... more

    Peckish bird briefly downs big atom smasher
    Geneva (AFP) Nov 9, 2009
    A peckish bird briefly knocked out part of the world's biggest atom smasher by causing a chain reaction with a piece of bread, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) said Monday. Bits of a French loaf dropped on an external electrical power supply caused a short circuit last week, triggering failsafe devices that shut down part of the cooling system of the giant experiment to ... more

    Uracil Made In The Lab
    Moffett Field CA (SPX) Nov 09, 2009
    NASA scientists studying the origin of life have reproduced uracil, a key component of our hereditary material, in the laboratory. They discovered that an ice sample containing pyrimidine exposed to ultraviolet radiation under space-like conditions produces this essential ingredient of life. Pyrimidine is a ring-shaped molecule made up of carbon and nitrogen and is the basic structure for ... more

    Mercury probe fly-by maps mysterious inner planet
    Washington (AFP) Nov 6, 2009
    The US space probe Messenger's third and final fly-by of the planet Mercury in September revealed an almost complete view of the solar system's smallest planet, leaving only the polar regions to be surveyed, NASA said. Flying at a low altitude, the Messenger (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging) probe's cameras have now mapped some 98 percent of Mercury's surface ... more

    Follow Rosetta's Final Earth Boost
    Paris, France (ESA) Nov 05, 2009
    ESA's comet chaser Rosetta will swing by Earth for the last time on 13 November to pick up energy and begin the final leg of its 10-year journey to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. ESA's European Space Operations Centre will host a media briefing on that day. This will be the third Earth swingby, the last of Rosetta's four planetary gravity assists. Closest approach to Earth is expected at ... more
