Alien Life May Not Be Near Massive StarsMoffett Field CA (SPX) Jan 20, 2010 Most searches for planets around other stars, also known as exoplanets, focus on Sun-like stars. Those searches have proven successful, turning up more than 400 alien worlds. However, Sun-like stars aren't the only potential homes for planets. New research by astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) and the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) confirms ... read more |

New Delhi, India (PTI) Jan 18, 2010The millennium's longest solar eclipse gave a unique chance to Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientists and astronomy lovers to study the event on Friday, with the space agency launching rockets and celestial gazers aiming telescopes at the sky to watch the moon's shadow covering the sun. Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), Thiruvananthapuram, launched a series of Rohini Sound ... more  
Huntsville AL (SPX) Jan 18, 2010Last year, when NASA's IBEX (Interstellar Boundary Explorer) spacecraft discovered a giant ribbon at the edge of the solar system, researchers were mystified. They called it a "shocking result" and puzzled over its origin. Now the mystery may have been solved. "We believe the ribbon is a reflection," says Jacob Heerikhuisen, a NASA Heliophysics Guest Investigator from the University of Ala ... more  
Paris, France (ESA) Jan 19, 2010Following the debut of ESA's 'Fly Your Thesis!' programme in 2009, four teams of university students have been selected to conduct their microgravity experiments during a second series of parabolic flights aboard an aircraft. The teams, made up of students from five ESA Member States, were chosen from 12 teams whose proposals were short-listed in September 2009. During the final sele ... more |

Washington DC (SPX) Jan 15, 2010Tycho Crater is an one of the most prominent craters on the moon. It appears as a bright spot in the southern highlands with rays of bright material that stretch across much of the nearside. Its prominence is not due to its size: at 85 km in diameter, it's just one among thousands of this size or larger. What really makes Tycho stand out is its relative youth. It formed recently enough tha ... more 
Huntsville AL (SPX) Jan 15, 2010The premiere observatory of the next decade, the James Webb Space Telescope, will launch in 2014 in search of "big game"--namely, the first stars and galaxies ever formed in our Universe. But the "little game" could turn out to be just as interesting. There's a dawning awareness among astronomers that the world's largest infrared telescope is going to be a canny hunter of planets circling farawa ... more  
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jan 15, 2010Ever since NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer, or IBEX, mission scientists released the first comprehensive sky map of our solar system's edge in particles, solar physicists have been busy revising their models to account for the discovery of a narrow "ribbon" of bright emission that was completely unexpected and not predicted by any model at the time. Further study by a team of scienti ... more |
