Prometheus Plays Tug Of War With One Of Saturn's Rings
Pasadena CA (SPX) Nov 26, 2009
The diminutive moon Prometheus whips gossamer ice particles out of Saturn's F ring in this image taken by the Cassini spacecraft on Aug. 21, 2009. The moon and the ring have eccentric, offset orbits, so Prometheus dips in and out of the F ring as it travels around Saturn. Its gravitational force drags the dust-sized particles at the edge of the F ring along for the ride. ... read more

Cosmic "Dig" Reveals Vestiges Of Milky Way's Building Blocks
Paris, France (SPX) Nov 26, 2009
Peering through the thick dust clouds of our galaxy's "bulge" (the myriads of stars surrounding its centre), and revealing an amazing amount of detail, a team of astronomers has unveiled an unusual mix of stars in the stellar grouping known as Terzan 5. Never observed anywhere in the bulge before, this peculiar "cocktail" of stars suggests that Terzan 5 is in fact one of the bulge's ... more

    Cassini Captures Ghostly Dance Of Saturn's Northern Lights
    Pasadena CA (SPX) Nov 25, 2009
    In the first video showing the auroras above the northern latitudes of Saturn, Cassini has spotted the tallest known "northern lights" in the solar system, flickering in shape and brightness high above the ringed planet. The new video reveals changes in Saturn's aurora every few minutes, in high resolution, with three dimensions. The images show a previously unseen vertical profile to the ... more

    Partial Gravity And The Moon
    Sydney, Australia (SPX) Nov 25, 2009
    We've studied the human body in weightlessness for decades, and we now have a fairly good understanding of how it affects us. It's important to know this. Weightlessness, or microgravity, can seriously influence the health and performance of astronauts. One thing we don't properly understand, though, is the influence of partial gravity on the human ... more

    Vast Scope For Research On Moon
    Coimbatore, India (PTI) Nov 25, 2009
    The data gathered by Chandrayaan-I mission provides vast scope for research on the moon, a top ISRO scientist has said. India, through Chandrayaan, was the pioneer in discovering existence of water on moon and similarly there was possibility of existence of minerals, including titanium, on it, Chandrayaan project director Mylswamy Annadurai said here. On Chandrayaan-II, he said the ... more

    T2K Neutrino Experiment Starts Its Search For The Unknown
    Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Nov 25, 2009
    UK particle physicists working on the T2K (Tokai-to-Kamioka) neutrino experiment in Japan celebrated as the experiment detected its first neutrinos - fundamental particles which are amongst the least understood in the Universe. T2K - an international experiment led by Japan and part funded by the UK's Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) - will probe the strange properties of ... more

    Two Circulating Beams Bring First Collisions In LHC
    Geneva, Switzerland (SPX) Nov 24, 2009
    The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has circulated two beams simultaneously for the first time, allowing the operators to test the synchronization of the beams and giving the experiments their first chance to look for proton-proton collisions. With just one bunch of particles circulating in each direction, the beams can be made to cross in up to two places in the ring. From early in the ... more
