Asteroid Sample Return Capsule Recovered In Outback AustraliaSydney (AFP) June 14, 2010 Scientists in Australia's vast Outback on Monday recovered a capsule that they hope contains the first piece of asteroid ever brought to Earth - perhaps offering a glimpse into ancient space history. The pod was ejected from a Japanese space probe as the host vessel burned up in a spectacular display over Australia following a seven-year odyssey across the solar system to the far-off Itokawa asteroid. It lay in the desert dust overnight before scientists were given the go-ahead to retrieve it a ... read more |

The Earth And Moon Formed Later Than Previously ThoughtCopenhagen, Denmark (SPX) Jun 08, 2010 The Earth and Moon were created as the result of a giant collision between two planets the size of Mars and Venus. Until now it was thought to have happened when the solar system was 30 million years old or approx. 4,537 million years ago. But new research from the Niels Bohr Institute shows that the Earth and Moon must have formed much later - perhaps up to 150 million years after the formation of the solar system. The research results have been published in the scientific journal, Earth and Plan ... read more |
