Pasadena CA (SPX) Nov 23, 2009NASA's Cassini spacecraft has sailed seamlessly through the Nov. 21 flyby of Saturn's moon Enceladus and started transmitting uncalibrated temperature data and images of the rippling terrain. These data and images will be processed and analyzed in the coming weeks. They will help scientists create the most-detailed-yet mosaic image of the southern part of the moon's Saturn-facing ... more

Paris, France (SPX) Nov 23, 2009A new technique using near-infrared images, obtained with ESO's 3.58-metre New Technology Telescope (NTT), allows astronomers to see through the opaque dust lanes of the giant cannibal galaxy Centaurus A, unveiling its "last meal" in unprecedented detail - a smaller spiral galaxy, currently twisted and warped. This amazing image also shows thousands of star clusters, strewn like glittering gems ... more 
Pasadena CA (SPX) Nov 23, 2009When NASA's Cassini spacecraft began orbiting Saturn five years ago, a dozen highly-tuned science instruments set to work surveying, sniffing, analyzing and scrutinizing the Saturnian system. But Cassini recently revealed new data that appeared to overturn the decades-old belief that our solar system resembled a comet in shape as it moves through the interstellar medium (the matter between ... more 
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Nov 23, 2009A team of astronomers from Ibaraki University, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Kanagawa University, University of Tokyo, Academica Sinica, and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) have used the Subaru Telescope's Cooled Mid-Infrared Camera and Spectrometer (COMICS) to capture the first direct, well-resolved infrared images of a circumstellar disk around a young massive star ... more |

Sydney, Australia (SPX) Nov 20, 20092009 will go down in history as one of the greatest years for lunar exploration. We were stunned by the discovery that the sun-drenched lunar surface, once thought to be bone dry, hosts small traces of water! Orbital observations of the Moon's polar regions revealed areas that are probably the coldest regions in the solar system, with temperatures plunging below that of Pluto! With all thi ... more |
