![]() Moscow, Russia (RIA Novosti) Feb 09, 2010 The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will jump straight to its maximum energy without any medium-energy proton collisions, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has said on its website. Experts, who gathered in Chamonix last week, revised the previous schedule according to which first physicists at the LHC were to switch to medium-energy beam collisions of 10 TeV this summer, following a short period of running at half-power of 7 TeV. "The most important decision we reached last w ... read more |

Do Spirals Make Us So![]() Using data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have, for the first time, created a demographic census of galaxy types and shapes from a time before the Earth and the Sun existed, to the present day. The results show that, contrary to contemporary thought, more than half of the present-day spiral galaxies had so-called peculiar shapes only 6000 million years ago, which, if ... more Moon Exploration is Not Dead ![]() It's clear by now that America's grand plans for returning astronauts to the Moon have been quashed, at least in the short term. The Constellation program, originally created to land astronauts there by 2020, is no 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 Newborn Black Holes Boost Explosive Power of Supernovae ![]() An 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 |

![]() Pasadena CA (JPL) Feb 04, 2010 NASA will extend the international Cassini-Huygens mission to explore Saturn and its moons to 2017. The agency's fiscal year 2011 budget provides a $60 million per year extension for continued study of the ringed planet. "This is a mission that never stops providing us surprising scientific results and showing us eye popping new vistas," said Jim Green, director of NASA's planetary science division at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "The historic traveler's stunning discoveries and images have re ... read more |
