Microbes And Molecules Get A Space-Stress TestHuntsville AL (SPX) Oct 25, 2010 Astrobiologists searching for life beyond Earth need to know how well life and its building blocks fare in space. To find out, NASA will monitor a miniature "crew" of organic molecules and microbes orbiting Earth for 6 months. "This will be the first mission since the early 1970s to test a life form's mettle outside the protection of Earth's magnetic field," says science team member Wayne Nicholson of NASA's Kennedy Space Center. "The conditions are harsh 'out there' - extreme vacuum and cosmic ra ... read more |

New Delhi (UPI) Oct 20, 2010 India says it will build a more than quarter-billion-dollar underground facility to join the worldwide search for elusive neutrino particles. The country's Environment and Forests Ministry has given the Atomic Energy Department the go-ahead for the neutrino observatory to be built in the Bodi West hills on the coast of Tamil Nadu state, the BBC reported Wednesday. The $270 millio ... more 
Washington DC (SPX) Oct 21, 2010Though the universe is chock full of spiral-shaped galaxies, no two look exactly the same. This face-on spiral galaxy, called NGC 3982, is striking for its rich tapestry of star birth, along with its winding arms. The arms are lined with pink star-forming regions of glowing hydrogen, newborn blue star clusters, and obscuring dust lanes that provide the raw material for future generations o ... more |

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 |
