Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer Arrives At Launch SiteParis, France (ESA) Aug 27, 2010 One of the most complex space scientific instruments ever built, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) arrived at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, escorted by astronauts who will fly with it on the Space Shuttle in February 2011. The antimatter hunter AMS-02 began the first stage of its voyage to the International Space Station (ISS) from Geneva international airport, in Switzerland.

The discovery dispels the long-held idea that nova explosions are not powerful enough to produce such high-energy radiation. These findings are published in Science with Ted ... more |

Solar System older than thoughtParis (AFP) Aug 22, 2010 The Solar System could be nearly two million years older than thought, according to a study published on Sunday by the journal Nature Geoscience. The evidence comes from a 1.49-kilo (3.2-pound) meteorite, found in the Moroccan desert in 2004, that contains a "relict" mineral, which is one of the oldest solid materials formed after the birth of the Sun. Analysis of lead isotopes suggest the mineral was formed 4.45682 billion years ago, making the meteorite the oldest object ever found. As a r ... read more |
