NASA Mission To Asteroid Gets Help From HubblePasadena CA (JPL) Oct 11, 2010 NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured images of the large asteroid Vesta that will help refine plans for the Dawn spacecraft's rendezvous with Vesta in July 2011. Scientists have constructed a video from the images that will help improve pointing instructions for Dawn as it is placed in a polar orbit around Vesta. Analyses of Hubble images revealed a pole orientation, or tilt, of approximately four degrees more to the asteroid's east than scientists previously thought. This means the ch ... read more |

Paris, France (ESA) Oct 07, 2010A new infrared image from ESO's VISTA survey telescope reveals an extraordinary landscape of glowing tendrils of gas, dark clouds and young stars within the constellation of Monoceros (the Unicorn). This star-forming region, known as Monoceros R2, is embedded within a huge dark cloud. The region is almost completely obscured by interstellar dust when viewed in visible light, but is spectac ... more  
Pasadena CA (JPL) Oct 07, 2010Saturn's icy moon Enceladus should not be one of the most promising places in our solar system to look for extraterrestrial life. Instead, it should have frozen solid billions of years ago. Located in the frigid outer solar system, it's too far from the sun to have oceans of liquid water - a necessary ingredient for known forms of life - on its surface. Some worlds, like Mars or Jupiter's ... more  
Tokyo (AFP) Oct 6, 2010Japan's space agency has found particles that may be extra-terrestrial in the capsule of the space probe Hayabusa that returned home in June after a seven-year journey to an asteroid, reports said Wednesday. Scientists discovered minute particles that may be from outside Earth, the Yomiuri newspaper and Kyodo News agency reported. Their components have characteristics that differ from du ... more |

Pushing The Envelope Leaves A Blast Of Relativistic ParticlesHuntsville AL (SPX) Oct 06, 2010 G327.1-1.1 is the aftermath of a massive star that exploded as a supernova in the Milky Way galaxy. A highly magnetic, rapidly spinning neutron star called a pulsar was left behind after the explosion and is producing a wind of relativistic particles, seen in X-rays by Chandra and XMM-Newton (blue) as well as in the radio data (red and yellow). This structure is called a pulsar wind nebula. The likely location of the spinning neutron star is shown in the labeled version. The large red circle shows ... read more |
