First Potentially Habitable Exoplanet FoundSanta Cruz CA (SPX) Sep 30, 2010 A team of planet hunters from the University of California (UC) Santa Cruz, and the Carnegie Institution of Washington has announced the discovery of a planet with three times the mass of Earth orbiting a nearby star at a distance that places it squarely in the middle of the star's "habitable zone." This discovery was the result of more than a decade of observations using the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, one of the world's largest optical telescopes. The research, sponsored by NASA and ... read more |

Pasadena CA (JPL) Sep 24, 2010A new movie and images showing Saturn's shimmering aurora over a two-day period are helping scientists understand what drives some of the solar system's most impressive light shows. The movie and images are part of a new study that, for the first time, extracts auroral information from the entire catalogue of Saturn images taken by the visual and infrared mapping spectrometer instrument (V ... more  
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Sep 24, 2010We all sort our rubbish by category, allowing recycling to take place. It's easy to understand why. Different items require different processes for disposal. For years, we have been growing increasingly aware of the trash problem in low Earth orbit. Debris from whole satellites to tiny flecks of paint poses a hazard to anything we launch. It can damage spacecraft or even claim lives. With ... more  
Boulder, Colo. (UPI) Sep 23, 2010 Exploring the peculiar effects of Einstein's relativity theory is no longer rocket science - in fact, U.S. scientists say it can be demonstrated on a tabletop. Using super precise atomic clocks, scientists have witnessed the phenomenon of time dilation - the bizarre speeding up or slowing down of time described by the theory, ScienceNews.org reported. "Modern technology has got ... more |

Primordial Magnetic Fields Discovered Across The UniverseLos Angeles CA (SPX) Sep 23, 2010 Scientists from the California Institute of Technology and UCLA have discovered evidence of "universal ubiquitous magnetic fields" that have permeated deep space between galaxies since the time of the Big Bang. Caltech physicist Shin'ichiro Ando and Alexander Kusenko, a professor of physics and astronomy at UCLA, report the discovery in a paper to be published in an upcoming issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters; the research is currently available online. Ando and Kusenko studied images of ... read more |
