Amazing New Sun Images From NJIT's Big Bear Solar ObservatoryNewark NJ (SPX) Aug 26, 2010 NJIT Distinguished Professor Philip R. Goode and the Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) team have achieved "first light" using a deformable mirror in what is called adaptive optics at Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO). "This photo of a sunspot is now the most detailed ever obtained in visible light," according to Ciel et l'Espace. In September, the publication, a popular astronomy magazine, will publish several more photos of the Sun taken with BBSO's new adaptive optics system. Goode said th ... read more |

Paris (AFP) Aug 23, 2010A satellite designed to map Earth's gravitational field has been hit by a software glitch and is unable to send its science data back home, the European Space Agency (ESA) said on Monday. The problem began to affect the spacecraft GOCE in late July, Mark Drinkwater, head of mission science at ESA's technical division, the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC), told AFP. " ... more  
Tokyo (UPI) Aug 19, 2010 Japan will send another satellite on a mission to capture material from an asteroid and bring it back to Earth for study, scientists say. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency says a successor to the troubled Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa, which managed to return a capsule to Earth this year, could launch as early as 2104, NewScientist.com reported Wednesday. The cost of the new spacecr ... more  
Washington (UPI) Aug 18, 2010 U.S. researchers say they've used the world's darkest material - a forest of carbon nanotubes - to develop a sophisticated laser power detector. Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology will use the ultra-dark detector to make precision laser power measurements for advanced technologies such as optical communications, laser-based manufacturing, solar energy con ... more |

Cosmic Accelerators Discovered In Our GalaxyLos Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 20, 2010 Physicists from UCLA and Japan have discovered evidence of "natural nuclear accelerators" at work in our Milky Way galaxy, based on an analysis of data from the world's largest cosmic ray detector. Cosmic rays of the highest energies were believed by physicists to come from remote galaxies containing enormous black holes capable of consuming stars and accelerating protons at energies comparable to that of a bullet shot from a rifle. These protons - referred to individually as "cosmic rays" - trave ... read more |
