Supermassive Black Holes May Frequently Roam Galaxy CentersMelbourne FL (SPX) May 26, 2010 A team of astronomy researchers at Florida Institute of Technology and Rochester Institute of Technology in the United States and University of Sussex in the United Kingdom, find that the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center of the most massive local galaxy (M87) is not where it was expected. Their research, conducted using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), concludes that the SMBH in M87 is displaced from the galaxy center. The most likely cause for this SMBH to be off center is a pr ... read more |

Washington DC (SPX) May 24, 2010NASA selected 17 technology demonstration projects for reduced-gravity aircraft flights to demonstrate whether emerging technologies can perform as expected in the reduced-gravity environment of the moon and Mars, or the zero-gravity environment of Earth orbit. NASA selected the projects through its Facilitated Access to the Space Environment for Technology program, or FAST. The selected p ... more  
Palo Alto CA (SPX) May 24, 2010Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) has announced its support for NASA's new direction in conjunction with the preliminary design review for the propulsion system that it is building for a spacecraft that will study the lunar atmosphere. "Space Systems/Loral has a long history of working with government agencies to provide industry solutions that meet or exceed mission requirements," said John Cell ... more  
Irvine CA (SPX) May 24, 2010For more than a decade, astronomers have been puzzled by bright galaxies in the distant universe that appear to be forming stars at phenomenal rates. What prompted the prolific star creation, they wondered. And what kind of spatial environment did these galaxies inhabit? Now, using a super-sensitive camera/spectrometer on the Herschel Space Observatory, astronomers - including a UC Irvine ... more |

Atomic pioneer Edwin Kintner dead at 90Exeter, 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 maiden voyage Jan. 17, 1955. "To produce Nautilus, it was necessary to expand man's knowledge far beyond the ... read more |
