Circumlunar Missions: The Missing LinkSydney, Australia (SPX) Dec 03, 2009 Much attention has been focused on plans by various nations to return astronauts to the Moon. At the moment, it doesn't seem that anyone will be landing there for at least another decade. America is revising its original plans for the Orion program, which calls for a return to lunar orbital missions and landings. Some alternatives would see astronauts orbiting the Moon without landing, and ... read more |

Pasadena CA (SPX) Dec 03, 2009Dawn continues to make steady progress through the solar system as it maintains a gentle pressure on its orbit around the Sun. It has spent 95% of the time since the last log thrusting with its ion propulsion system, stopping only briefly each week to communicate with the mission control team on distant Earth. The probe is on an exciting journey to unlock secrets from the dawn of the solar ... more  
Berkeley CA (SPX) Dec 03, 2009An extraordinarily bright, extraordinarily long-lasting supernova named SN 2007bi, snagged in a search by a robotic telescope, turns out to be the first example of the kind of stars that first populated the Universe. The superbright supernova occurred in a nearby dwarf galaxy, a kind of galaxy that's common but has been little studied until now, and the unusual supernova could be the first of ... more 
Hamilton, Canada (SPX) Dec 03, 2009The latest data delivered back to Earth by the Herschel Space Observatory (HSO)-launched in May by the European Space Agency-has opened a new window on galaxies for researchers at McMaster University. Herschel, the largest infrared telescope ever launched, is designed to study some of the coldest objects in space, located deep in a region of the electromagnetic spectrum that is still large ... more |

West Lafayette IN (SPX) Dec 02, 2009Purdue University researchers are designing and building an experiment that will operate during a test flight of a new type of reusable rocket to be launched by aerospace company Blue Origin. The experiment will be used to study how fluids behave in low gravity, providing information that could help engineers design better components for a variety of technologies used both on the Earth and ... more 
London, UK (SPX) Dec 01, 2009CERN's Large Hadron Collider has today become the world's highest energy particle accelerator, having accelerated its twin beams of protons to an energy of 1.18 TeV in the early hours of the morning. This exceeds the previous world record of 0.98 TeV, which had been held by the US Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory's Tevatron collider since 2001. It marks another important milestone on ... more  
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Dec 01, 2009Astronomers have discovered hundreds of Jupiter-like planets in our galaxy. However, a handful of the planets found orbiting distant stars are more Earth-sized. This gives hope to astrobiologists, who think we are more likely to find life on rocky planets with liquid water. The rocky planets found so far are actually more massive than our own. Dimitar Sasselov, professor of astronomy at ... more |
