Pan-STARRS Discovers Potentially Hazardous AsteroidHaleakala HI (SPX) Sep 28, 2010 The University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS PS1 telescope on Haleakala has discovered an asteroid that will come within 4 million miles of Earth in mid-October. The object is about 150 feet in diameter and was discovered in images acquired on September 16, when it was about 20 million miles away. It is the first "potentially hazardous object" (PHO) to be discovered by the Pan-STARRS survey and has been given the designation "2010 ST3." "Although this particular object won't hit Earth in the immedi ... read more |

But once they start heading in our direction, they can accelerate rapidly, gathering steam for a harder hit on Earth's magnetic field. So say researchers who have been using data from NASA's twin STEREO spacecraft to unravel the 3D structure of solar storms. Their findings are presented in Nature Communications. "This really surpri ... more  
Rome, Italy (SPX) Sep 23, 2010Titan's northern hemisphere is set for mainly fine spring weather, with polar skies clearing since the equinox in August last year. Cassini's VIMS instrument has been monitoring clouds on Titan continuously since the spacecraft went into orbit around Saturn. Now, a team led by Sebastien Rodriguez (AIM laboratory - Universite Paris Diderot) has used more than 2000 VIMS images to create the ... more 
Tel Aviv, Israel (SPX) Sep 23, 2010Titan, one of Saturn's moons, is the only moon in the solar system with an atmosphere - ten times denser than the atmosphere of Earth. Five years ago, the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn, a collaboration between the European Space Agency and NASA, sent a probe through Titan's atmosphere, revealing that Titan is home to a landscape that includes hills, valleys and most notably lakes.

Mercury Found To Have Comet-Like Appearance By Satellites Looking At SunBoston MA (SPX) Sep 23, 2010 Scientists from Boston University's Center for Space Physics have reported that NASA satellites designed to view the escaping atmosphere of the Sun have also recorded evidence of gas escaping from the planet Mercury. The scientists reported these findings at the European Planetary Science Congress (EPSC) meeting in Rome, Italy this week. The STEREO mission has two spacecraft, in orbits just inside and outside the earth's orbit around the Sun, and thus increasingly ahead and behind the earth (STERE ... read more |
