NRL Researchers Study Galaxy MergersWashington DC (SPX) Apr 21, 2010 Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory have solved a long-standing dilemma about the mass of infrared bright merging galaxies. Because galaxies are the largest directly observable objects in the universe, learning more about their formation is key to understanding how the universe works. Dr. Barry Rothberg and Dr. Jacqueline Fischer, both of the Infrared-Submillimeter Astrophysics and Techniques Section in the Remote Sensing Division, used new data from the 8-meter Gemini-South telescope in C ... read more |

Sydney, Australia (SPX) Apr 15, 2010America's space program is clearly in a state of flux. After so much debate and announcements in recent months, we are still not entirely sure of what will happen in the next ten years. This is troubling to America's space community, but the repercussions are also being felt internationally. There is a large degree of interdependence among the world's space programs, and this is particular ... more  
Glasgow UK (SPX) Apr 15, 2010An international team of astronomers have discovered compelling evidence that rocky planets are commonplace in our Galaxy. Leicester University scientist and lead researcher Dr. Jay Farihi surveyed white dwarfs, the compact remnants of stars that were once like our Sun, and found that many show signs of contamination by heavier elements and possibly even water, improving the prospects for extrat ... more 
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 |

Proba-2 Shows Solar Eruption That Touched EarthParis, France (ESA) Apr 15, 2010 Polar skies glowed with ghostly auroras last week during the biggest geomagnetic storm of 2010. The event owed its origin to a solar eruption a few days earlier - revealed here in high-speed detail by ESA's small Sun-watcher Proba-2. Eruptions like this one have several components, most notably solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). Solar flares are caused by sudden impulsive releases of magnetic energy from the surface of the Sun. The flare seen here took place at 11:54 CET on Satu ... read more |
