Pasadena CA (JPL) Apr 15, 2010Astronomers have snapped a picture of three planets orbiting a star beyond our own using a modest-sized telescope on the ground. The surprising feat was accomplished by a team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., using a small portion of the Palomar Observatory's Hale Telescope, north of San Diego. The planets had been imaged previously by two of the world's biggest gro ... more  
Paris (AFP) April 14, 2010Exploiting a principle that Einstein derided as "spooky action at a distance," physicists on Wednesday reported they had devised a machine that generates genuinely random numbers and closes a loophole in cryptography. The experiment helps open the way to next-generation ultra-secret communication, according to their paper, appearing in the British journal Nature. Cryptographers use rando ... more

The Early Life Of A Neutron StarLondon UK (SPX) Apr 15, 2010 Observations of how the youngest-known neutron star has cooled over the past decade are giving astronomers new insights into the interior of these super-dense dead stars. Dr Wynn Ho presented the findings at the RAS National Astronomy Meeting in Glasgow. Dr Ho, of the University of Southampton, and Dr Craig Heinke, of the University of Alberta in Canada, measured the temperature of the neutron star in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant using data obtained by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory betwee ... read more |
