Atom smasher cranks up to record energy levels: CERNGeneva (AFP) March 19, 2010 The world's most powerful atom smasher has been brought up to a record energy level, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research said Friday, in readiness for collisions that could generate new discoveries in particle physics. "At just after 5.20 this morning, two 3.5 TeV proton beams successfully circulated in the Large Hadron Collider for the first time," said CERN in a statement. "This is the highest energy yet achieved in a particle accelerator, and an important step on the way to the sta ... read more |

New York NY (SPX) Mar 17, 2010New York NY (SPX) Mar 17, 2010 The birth of the most massive stars - those ten to a hundred times the mass of the Sun - has posed an astrophysical riddle for decades. Massive stars are dense enough to fuse hydrogen while they're still gathering material from the gas cloud, so it was a mystery why their brilliant radiation does not heat the infalling gas and blow it away. New simulations b ... more  
London, Canada (SPX) Mar 17, 2010A researcher from The University of Western Ontario has helped solve a 37-year old space mystery using lunar images released yesterday by NASA and maps from his own atlas of the moon. Phil Stooke, a professor cross appointed to Western's Departments of Physics and Astronomy and Geography, published a major reference book on lunar exploration in 2007 entitled, "The International Atlas of Lu ... more  
Pasadena CA (JPL) Mar 17, 2010New thermal images from powerful ground-based telescopes show swirls of warmer air and cooler regions never seen before within Jupiter's Great Red Spot, enabling scientists to make the first detailed interior weather map of the giant storm system. The observations reveal that the reddest color of the Great Red Spot corresponds to a warm core within the otherwise cold storm system, and imag ... more |

WISE Captures A Cosmic RoseLos Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 17, 2010 A new infrared image from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, shows a cosmic rosebud blossoming with new stars. The stars, called the Berkeley 59 cluster, are the blue dots to the right of the image center. They are ripening out of the dust cloud from which they formed, and at just a few million years old, are young on stellar time scales. The rosebud-like red glow surrounding the hot, young stars is warm dust heated by the stars. Green "leafy" nebulosity enfolds the cluster ... read more |
