Solar Stormwatch Asks Public For Help In Understanding The SunGreenwich, UK (SPX) Feb 24, 2010 The Royal Observatory, Greenwich (ROG), in partnership with the Science and Technology Facilities Council's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and Zooniverse are launching Solar Stormwatch, a new web project where anyone can help spot and track solar storms and be involved in the latest solar research. The Sun is much more dynamic than it appears in our sky. Intense magnetic fields churn and pummel the Sun's atmosphere and they store enormous amounts of energy that, when released, hurl billions of ton ... read more |

Thiruvananthapuram, India (PTI) Feb 19, 2010With the discovery of water on the moon, there was a distinct possibility of humans setting up a colony in the nearest satellite from the Earth, former ISRO chairman G Madhavan Nair has said. The Chandrayaan-1 mission's finding that large quantities of water were present in the polar region of the moon opened up the possibility of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, Nair said at the ... more  
Berkeley CA (SPX) Feb 18, 2010While airplane and rocket experiments have proved that gravity makes clocks tick more slowly - a central prediction of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity - a new experiment in an atom interferometer measures this slowdown 10,000 times more accurately than before, and finds it to be exactly what Einstein predicted. The result shows once again how well Einstein's theory describes ... more  
Batavia IL (SPX) Feb 19, 2010Batavia IL (SPX) Feb 19, 2010 Three decades ago, no one had ever heard of particle astrophysics. How could the tiniest pieces of matter and the biggest objects in the universe coexist in a single field of science? Last month, the American Institute of Physics and the American Astronomical Society honored two scientists who, more than any others, made particle astrophysics, if not a househ ... more |

Massive Stars' Magnetically Controlled DietsBonn, Germany (SPX) Feb 19, 2010 A team of astronomers, led by Dr. Wouter Vlemmings at Bonn University, has used the MERLIN radio telescope network centered on the Jodrell Bank Observatory to show that magnetic fields play an important role during the birth of massive stars. Magnetic fields are already known to strongly influence the formation of lower-mass stars like our Sun. This new study reveals that the way in which high-mass and low-mass stars form may be more similar than previously suspected. The scientists report their w ... read more |
