Exoplanetary System Offers Clues To Disturbed PastBaltimore MD (SPX) May 25, 2010 Astronomers are reporting the discovery of a planetary system way out of tilt, where the orbits of two planets are at a steep angle to each other. This surprising finding will impact theories of how multi-planet systems evolve, and it shows that some violent events can happen to disrupt planets' orbits after a planetary system forms, say researchers. "The findings mean that future studies of exoplanetary systems will be more complicated. Astronomers can no longer assume all planets orbit their par ... read more |

Exeter, N.H. (UPI) May 21, 2010 Nuclear pioneer Edwin Kintner, who helped develop a reactor for the first U.S. atomic-powered submarine, died at age 90 in Exeter, N.H., his family said. Kintner died May 7 of prostate cancer, his son Eric told The New York Times in a story published Friday. Edwin Kintner worked on reactor technology used to power the Nautilus, the first U.S. atomic submarine, which had its maide ... more  
Barcelona, Spain (SPX) May 21, 2010The Planetary Sciences Group at the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country with its headquarters at the Faculty of Engineering in Bilbao and led by Professor Agust�n S�nchez Lavega, has published the first results of research into one of the recent events that has sparked off maximum interest in the world of astronomy: the impact of a large-sized celestial body on the planet Jupiter last July. ... more 
Huntsville AL (SPX) May 21, 2010In a development that has transformed the appearance of the solar system's largest planet, one of Jupiter's two main cloud belts has completely disappeared. "This is a big event," says planetary scientist Glenn Orton of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab. "We're monitoring the situation closely and do not yet fully understand what's going on." Known as the South Equatorial Belt (SEB), the brown clo ... more |

Blast from the past: a new type of exploding starParis (AFP) May 19, 2010 Astronomers have discovered a new type of exploding star that spews huge quantities of calcium and defies the two known categories of supernovae, according to a pair of studies released Wednesday. Only a handful of these novel star bursts have been spotted over the last few years, but they could explain the abundance of calcium observed in galaxies like our own Milky Way, the researchers said. They could even account for the calcium present in our bones, and in all life on Earth. Up to now, ... read more |
