The Difference Between Ganymede And CallistoBoulder CO (SPX) Jan 26, 2010 Differences in the number and speed of cometary impacts onto Jupiter's large moons Ganymede and Callisto some 3.8 billion years ago can explain their vastly different surfaces and interior states, according to research by scientists at the Southwest Research Institute appearing online in Nature Geoscience Jan. 24, 2010. Ganymede and Callisto are similar in size and are made of a similar mixture of ice and rock, but data from the Galileo and Voyager spacecraft show that they look different at the ... read more |

Looking For Life In The MultiverseMiami FL (SPX) Jan 18, 2010 Is there anybody out there? In Alejandro Jenkins' case, the question refers not to whether life exists elsewhere in the universe, but whether it exists in other universes outside of our own. While that might be a mind-blowing concept for the layperson to ponder, it's all in a day's work for Jenkins, a postdoctoral associate in theoretical high-energy physics at The Florida State University. In fact, his deep thoughts on the hypothetical "multiverse" - think of it as a mega-universe full ... read more |

Thiruvananthapuram, India (AFP) Jan 15, 2010A solar eclipse that reduced the sun to a blazing ring surrounding a sombre disk plunged millions of people in Africa and Asia into an eerie semi-darkness on Friday. The spectacle, visible in a roughly 300-kilometre (185-mile) band running 12,900 kilometres (8,062 miles) across the globe, set a record for the longest annular eclipse that will remain unbeaten for more than a thousand years. ... 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 |

The First Of Many Asteroid Finds For WISEPasadena CA (JPL) Jan 25, 2010 NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, has spotted its first never-before-seen near-Earth asteroid, the first of hundreds it is expected to find during its mission to map the whole sky in infrared light. The near-Earth object, designated 2010 AB78, was discovered by WISE Jan. 12. After the mission's sophisticated software picked out the moving object against a background of stationary stars, researchers followed up and confirmed the discovery with the University of Hawaii's 2.2-meter ... read more |
