Are Most Pulsars Really Magnetars In DisguiseParis, France (ESA) Oct 21, 2010 Astronomers using XMM-Newton and other world-class X-ray telescopes have probed a curious source, which emits flares and bursts just like a magnetar but lacks the extremely high external magnetic field typical of these objects. The detection of this source, which could be powered by a strong, internal magnetic field hidden to observations, may mean that many 'ordinary' pulsars are dormant magnetars waiting to erupt. Massive stars remain objects of curiosity even well after their demise. Endi ... read more |

Tucson (UPI) Oct 18, 2010 Astronomers in Chile say they've obtained images of a planet in a much closer orbit around its parent star than any other extrasolar planet previously found. The discover was made possible by technology developed at the University of Arizona that blocks out certain parts of a star's light, allowing planets to be spotted from signals previously drowned out by the star's glare, ScienceDai ... more  
Washington (UPI) Oct 18, 2010 NASA has signed contracts with U.S. six teams competing to design, build and launch private moon probes to purchase their lunar data, agency officials say. The six teams are competing in the Google Lunar X Prize contest to send low-cost missions to the lunar surface, SPACE.com reported. "The dollar values may be a relatively small contract by NASA standards, but these contracts s ... more  
Madison, Wis. (UPI) Oct 18, 2010 A "telescope" deep under Antarctica's ice has found the first signals scientists say may explain mysterious particles that shower the Earth from outer space. Researchers, hoping to explain what produces cosmic rays and elusive particles called neutrinos that constantly bombard our planet, buried sensors a mile below the Antarctica's ice cap to detect fleeting flashes of light caused whe ... more |

Raining HalleyHuntsville AL (SPX) Oct 19, 2010 The most famous of all comets, Comet Halley is noted for producing spectacular displays when it passes near Earth on its 76-year trip around the sun. However, you don't have to wait until 2061 to see a piece of the comet - you can do it this very week! Halley's Comet leaves bits of itself behind - in the form of small conglomerates of dust and ice called meteoroids - as it moves in its orbit, which the Earth approaches in early May and mid-October. When it does, it collides with these bits o ... read more |
