LHC Produces First Physics ResultsLondon, UK (SPX) Dec 07, 2009 After 20 years in the making, the first physics results have come out of CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Physicists from the University of Birmingham played a key role in analyzing these collisions and producing the first results from the 27 km circular atom smasher near Geneva. The results were submitted for publication by the ALICE collaboration just six days after recording the ... read more |

Washington DC (SPX) Dec 03, 2009Every cook knows the ingredients for making bread: flour, water, yeast, and time. But what chemical elements are in the recipe of our universe? Most of the ingredients are hydrogen and helium. These cosmic lightweights fill the first two spots on the famous periodic table of the elements. Less abundant but more familiar to us are the heavier elements, meaning everything listed on the perio ... more  
Houston TX (SPX) Dec 03, 2009Using more advanced analytical instruments now available, a Johnson Space Center research team has reexamined the 1996 finding that a meteorite contains strong evidence that life may have existed on ancient Mars. The new research focused on investigating alternate proposals for the creation of materials thought to be signs of ancient life found in the meteorite. The new study argues that ... more  
Chicago IL (SPX) Dec 03, 2009In a picture of truly galactic proportions, the world's largest image of our Milky Way galaxy, taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, is on display at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. On Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2009 at 2 p.m. CST, the scientists who created the image and representatives from NASA presented the image to members of the public. The image spans a mind-boggling area of 120 ... more |

Paris, France (SPX) Dec 02, 2009Which come first, the supermassive black holes that frantically devour matter or the enormous galaxies where they reside? A brand new scenario has emerged from a recent set of outstanding observations of a black hole without a home: black holes may be "building" their own host galaxy. This could be the long-sought missing link to understanding why the masses of black holes are larger in ... more 
Boston MA (SPX) Dec 02, 2009A recent NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of part of NGC 7023, or the Iris Nebula, highlights a perfect dust laboratory in the sky. On Earth, we tend to find dust nothing more than a nuisance that blankets our furniture and causes us to sneeze. Cosmic dust can also be a hindrance to astronomers because cameras using visible light cannot see through it. However, studying cosmic dust in ... more 
Bonn, Germany (SPX) Dec 02, 2009If the question means "Has anyone stepped outside of the universe with a camera and taken a picture of it?" then the answer is, of course, no. The concept of 'universe' means the totality of all things, including space and time. So logically, there can be no 'outside' to the universe. (Although speculative cosmological theories propose other concepts.) One - very abstract - representation ... more |
