Herschel Finds Water In Cosmic DesertPasadena CA (JPL) Sep 02, 2010 The Herschel infrared space observatory has discovered that ultraviolet starlight is the key ingredient for making water in space. It is the only explanation for why a dying star is surrounded by a gigantic cloud of hot water vapor. Herschel is a European Space Agency mission with important participation from NASA. Every recipe needs a secret ingredient. When astronomers discovered an unexpected cloud of water vapor around the old star IRC+10216 using NASA's Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite ... read more |

Boulder CO (SPX) Aug 27, 2010Large changes in the Sun's energy output may drive unexpectedly dramatic fluctuations in Earth's outer atmosphere, new research indicates. A new study links a recent, temporary shrinking of a high atmospheric layer with a sharp drop in the Sun's ultraviolet radiation levels. The research, led by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the University of Colorad ... more  
Berkeley CA (SPX) Aug 27, 2010The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is often depicted as a dull zone of dead rocks with an occasional wayward speedster smashing through on its way toward the sun. A new study appearing in the journal Nature paints a different picture, one of slow but steady change, where sunlight gradually drives asteroids to split in two and move far apart to become independent asteroids among the ... more 
Stanford CA (SPX) Aug 27, 2010It's a mystery that presented itself unexpectedly: The radioactive decay of some elements sitting quietly in laboratories on Earth seemed to be influenced by activities inside the sun, 93 million miles away. Is this possible? Researchers from Stanford and Purdue University believe it is. But their explanation of how it happens opens the door to yet another mystery. There is even an o ... more |

First mega black holes were born soon after 'Big Bang'Paris (AFP) Aug 25, 2010 The first "supermassive" black holes were created relatively soon after the Big Bang that created the Universe, a finding which could rewrite theories about the formation of galaxies, scientists said on Wednesday. Ordinary black holes are entities of mass whose gravitational pull is so huge that not even light can escape them. But they are dwarfs compared to so-called supermassive black holes, which are many orders of magnitude bigger. Since the first of these behemoths was spotted 12 years ... read more |
