Astronomer Employs HPC To Peer Into Cosmic MysteriesColumbus OH (SPX) Oct 20, 2010 An Ohio State University astronomer is working to unlock some of the mysteries surrounding the formation of vast galaxies and the evolution of massive black holes with his own large constellation of silicon wafers. Over the last year, two research teams led by Stelios Kazantzidis, a Long-Term Fellow at the Center for Cosmology and Astro-Particle Physics (CCAPP) at The Ohio State University, have used what would average out to nearly 1,000 computing hours each day on the parallel high performance c ... read more |

Huntsville AL (SPX) Oct 18, 2010NASA's Deep Impact/EPOXI spacecraft is hurtling toward Comet Hartley 2 for a breathtaking 435-mile flyby on Nov. 4th. Mission scientists say all systems are go for a close encounter with one of the smallest yet most active comets they've seen. "There are billions of comets in the solar system, but this will be only the fifth time a spacecraft has flown close enough to one to snap pictures ... more  
Washington DC (SPX) Oct 18, 2010NASA has awarded Innovative Lunar Demonstrations Data (ILDD) contracts to six companies for the purchase of technical data resulting from industry efforts to develop vehicle capabilities and demonstrate end-to-end robotic lunar landing missions. The data from these contracts will inform the development of future human and robotic lander vehicles and exploration systems. The ILDD Broa ... more  
Pasadena CA (JPL) Oct 18, 2010The Sculptor galaxy is shown in different infrared hues, in this new mosaic from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE. The main picture is a composite of infrared light captured with all four of the space telescope's infrared detectors. The red image at bottom right shows the galaxy's active side. Infant stars are heating up their dusty cocoons, particularly in the galaxy's ... more |

Scientist ready to 'weigh' distant starsCambridge, Mass. (UPI) Oct 15, 2010 Determining the weight of a distant star usually yields just an estimate, but one U.S. scientist says in special cases a star can be "weighed" directly. Astronomers have found more than 90 planets that cross in front of, or transit, their stars, and by measuring the amount of starlight that's blocked, they can calculate how big the planet is relative to the star. But they can't know exactly how big the planet is, because they can only estimate the size and the mass of the star, scientists at th ... read more |
