Quasar Pair Captured In Galaxy CollisionPasadena CA (SPX) Feb 08, 2010 This composite image shows the effects of two galaxies caught in the act of merging. A Chandra X-ray Observatory image shows a pair of quasars in blue, located about 4.6 billion light years away, but separated on the sky by only about 70 thousand light years. These bright sources, collectively called SDSS J1254+0846, are powered by material falling onto supermassive black holes. An optical image from the Baade-Magellan telescope in Chile, in yellow, shows tidal tails - gravitational-stripped strea ... read more |

But that doesn't mean that astronauts will not return in the future, nor does it mean that lunar exploration will cease in the meantime. NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbite ... more  
Huntsville AL (SPX) Feb 05, 2010An international team of scientists, including two astronomers from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., have observed a supernova with peculiar radio emission. In the Jan. 28 issue of Nature, the team - led by Zsolt Paragi of the Joint Institute for Very Long Baseline Interferometry in Europe, or JIVE - reveals new details of these highly energetic explosions. Supernov ... more  
Boulder CO (SPX) Feb 05, 2010A $32 million University of Colorado at Boulder instrument package set for launch Feb. 9 by NASA should help scientists better understand the violent effects of the sun on near-Earth space weather that can affect satellites, power grids, ground communications systems and even astronauts and aircraft crews. The CU-Boulder Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment, or EVE, will fly on NASA' ... more |
