Mimicking The Moon's Surface In The BasementLos Alamos NM (SPX) Aug 09, 2010 A team of scientists used an ion beam in a basement room at Los Alamos National Laboratory to simulate solar winds on the surface of the Moon. The table-top simulation helped confirm that the Moon is inherently dry. In research published in Science Express, Zachary Sharp of the University of New Mexico and a team of scientists from California, Texas and New Mexico-including Yongqiang Wang, leader of Los Alamos' Ion Beam Materials Lab-present an analysis of chlorine isotopic ratios in lunar rock sa ... read more |

Washington DC (SPX) Aug 04, 2010On August 1st around 0855 UT, Earth orbiting satellites detected a C3-class solar flare. The origin of the blast was Earth-facing sunspot 1092. C-class solar flares are small (when compared to X and M-class flares) and usually have few noticeable consequences here on Earth besides aurorae. This one has spawned a coronal mass ejection heading in Earth's direction. Coronal mass ejections (or ... more

Orion Nebula Gives Clues To Origin Of Life On EarthHilo HI (SPX) Aug 02, 2010 How did life on Earth begin? One hypothesis is that terrestrial life began when organics were delivered from outer space during the early, heavy bombardment phase of Earth's development. We know that several meteorites (e.g., Murchison) have amino acids with properties similar to those seen in biological amino acids, the building blocks of life. An international team of astronomers led by Fukue and Tamura of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan conducted research on the properties of lig ... read more |
