Moffett Field CA (SPX) Mar 12, 2010Scientists at the University of Rochester have discovered that the Earth's magnetic field 3.5 billion years ago was only half as strong as it is today, and that this weakness, coupled with a strong wind of energetic particles from the young Sun, likely stripped water from the early Earth's atmosphere. The findings, presented in the journal Science, suggest that the magnetopause-the boundar ... more  
London (UPI) Mar 13, 2009 Former NASA astronauts who have been on moon missions told the BBC they are unhappy with U.S. President Barack Obama's decision to delay future such missions. Obama last month canceled NASA's Constellation Moon landings program, approved by former President George W. Bush. The space agency still plans to send astronauts to the moon, but the BBC said it would likely take decades or never ... more  
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Mar 12, 2010Meet asteroid 1999 RQ36, a chunk of rock and dust about 1,900 feet in diameter that could tell us how the solar system was born, and perhaps, shed light on how life began. It also might hit us someday. "This asteroid is a time capsule from before the birth of our solar system," said Bill Cutlip of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., one of the leaders of Goddard's effort ... more |

Mysterious Cosmic Dark Flow Tracked Deeper Into UniverseGreenbelt MD (SPX) Mar 11, 2010 Distant galaxy clusters mysteriously stream at a million miles per hour along a path roughly centered on the southern constellations Centaurus and Hydra. A new study led by Alexander Kashlinsky at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., tracks this collective motion - dubbed the "dark flow" - to twice the distance originally reported. "This is not something we set out to find, but we cannot make it go away," Kashlinsky said. "Now we see that it persists to much greater distances - as ... read more |
