Leicester UK (SPX) Feb 12, 2010Scientists from the University of Leicester have led an international study to capture space images that are unique to science. Researchers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope (HST) recently took advantage of the rare opportunity to record Saturn when its rings are edge-on, resulting in a unique movie featuring both of the giant planet's poles. Saturn is only in this position every 1 ... more |

NASA Launches Another Solar Explorer On Five Year MissionWashington DC (SPX) hFeb 12, 2010 Beginning Thursday, 11 February 2010, our Sun is being monitored round the clock - the space-based Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) was launched successfully from Cape Canaveral on an Atlas V. The continuous stream of data supplied by this observatory will substantially improve our ability to forecast space weather. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) is supporting this NASA-led mission with the SDO Data Center at the Max-Planck-Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Katlenburg-Lindau. S ... read more |
