Earth-Like Planet Probably A WastelandWashington DC (SPX) Jan 06, 2010 When scientists confirmed in October that they had detected the first rocky planet outside our solar system, it advanced the longtime quest to find an Earth-like planet hospitable to life. Rocky planets - Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars - make up half the planets in our solar system. Rocky planets are considered better environments to support life than planets that are mainly gaseous, like ... read more |

Washington DC (SPX) Jan 06, 2010An odd feature that for more than 40 years was thought to be structurally associated with a peculiar galaxy has been identified as the superposed trail of a main-belt asteroid that happened to be crossing the galaxy as it was being photographed in 1964. An amateur astronomer who imaged the galaxy in 2008 first noted the modern lack of the 'spike.' The mystery begins in 1966, when astronome ... more 
Washington DC (SPX) Jan 06, 2010NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has broken the distance limit for galaxies and uncovered a primordial population of compact and ultra-blue galaxies that have never been seen before. The deeper Hubble looks into space, the farther back in time it looks, because light takes billions of years to cross the observable universe. This makes Hubble a powerful "time machine" that allows astronomers t ... more 
Washington DC (SPX) Jan 06, 2010More than 12 billion years of cosmic history are shown in an unprecedented, panoramic, full-color view of thousands of galaxies in various stages of assembly. This image, taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, was made from mosaics taken in September and October 2009 with the newly installed Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) and in 2004 with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). The view covers ... more |

Washington (AFP) Jan 5, 2010The refurbished Hubble Space Telescope has set a new distance record by discovering the oldest galaxies ever seen, dating back 13 billion years, or 600-800 million years after the Big Bang, NASA said Tuesday. The never-seen-before galaxies are key to interpreting the development of the first stars and the formation of the first galaxies that later evolved into the elliptical galaxies like ou ... more  
Frankfurt (AFP) Jan 5, 2010Around 30 million high-tech German bank cards could leave owners high and dry, bank associations warned Tuesday as the feared Y2K computer bug cropped up 10 years later than expected. The problem that hit cardholders trying to use cash machines or make payments throughout Germany and abroad stems from computer chips unable to recognise the year 2010, and could take up to a week to resolve, t ... more 
Washington (AFP) Jan 4, 2010NASA's Kepler space telescope has discovered five new planets beyond the solar system, the US space agency said Monday, just 10 months after Kepler launched into space to find Earth-like planets. The discovery of the five exoplanets "contributes to our understanding of how planetary systems form and evolve from the gas and dust disks that give rise to both the stars and their planets," NASA' ... more |
