Earth To Lend Helping Hand To Comet CraftPasadena CA (SPX) Jun 28, 2010 NASA's Deep Impact/EPOXI spacecraft will fly past Earth this Sunday (June 27). Mission navigators have tailored this trajectory so the spacecraft can "hitch a ride" on Earth's gravity field, which will help propel the mission toward its appointment with comet Hartley 2 this fall. At time of closest approach to Earth, the spacecraft will be about 30,400 kilometers (18,900 miles) above the South Atlantic. "Earth is a great place to pick up orbital velocity," said Tim Larson, the EPOXI project ... read more |

Sheffield, UK (SPX) Jun 22, 2010Musical sounds created by longitudinal vibrations within the Sun's atmosphere, have been recorded and accurately studied for the first time by experts at the University of Sheffield, shedding light on the Sun's magnetic atmosphere. Using state-of-the-art mathematical theory combined with satellite observations, a team of solar physicists from the University have captured the music on tape ... more  
Austin TX (SPX) Jun 23, 2010The University of Texas at Austin McDonald Observatory is kicking off a campaign to promote awareness of the causes, effects, and solutions to light pollution - stray light shone into the sky where it's wasted, rather than down on the ground where it's useful. The Observatory will be promoting dark skies awareness through its nationally syndicated StarDate radio program, its Spanish-langua ... more  
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 21, 2010If extraterrestrial life exists on Jupiter's moon Europa, instead of deploying probes to drill past its ice shell to look for aliens in the ocean below, one might just go fossil-hunting on the icy surface. "A prospector sent there could possibly find extraterrestrial life within our lifetimes," suggested planetary scientist Richard Greenberg at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planeta ... more |

Astronomers Witness A Star Being BornNew Haven CT (SPX) Jun 18, 2010 Astronomers have glimpsed what could be the youngest known star at the very moment it is being born. Not yet fully developed into a true star, the object is in the earliest stages of star formation and has just begun pulling in matter from a surrounding envelope of gas and dust, according to a new study that appears in the current issue of the Astrophysical Journal. The study's authors-who include astronomers from Yale University, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the Max Planck ... read more |
