e2v To Develop Image Sensors For PLATO Exoplanet MissionParis, France (SPX) Nov 02, 2010 e2v has been awarded a contract to develop a new Charge Coupled Device (CCD) imaging sensor by the European Space Agency (ESA) for the PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) space science mission. The aim of PLATO is to search for transiting planets within our galaxy to understand the conditions for planet formation and the emergence of life. PLATO aims to detect planets from their transits across their host star and to characterize their host stars by studying their oscillatio ... read more |

Pasadena CA (JPL) Oct 29, 2010early one in four stars similar to the sun may host planets as small as Earth, according to a new study funded by NASA and the University of California. The study is the most extensive and sensitive planetary census of its kind. Astronomers used the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii for five years to search 166 sun-like stars near our solar system for planets of various sizes, ranging from t ... more

Sydney, Australia (SPX) Oct 28, 2010Space takes its toll on humans and equipment. Go into deep space, and the environment becomes even more hostile. Land on the Moon, and you're facing the most dangerous place humans have explored beyond our own world. Most gear that lands on the Moon is only designed to operate for short periods. Sometimes, it's just not worth keeping it functioning for a long time. In other cases, you just ... more |

Panel says particle search should continueWashington (UPI) Oct 27, 2010 A U.S. federal advisory panel is recommending the last U.S. atom smasher be kept in operation - but only if the funding can be found, it says. If the money is not forthcoming, it will almost certainly mean the Tevatron collider at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will have to close next fall as originally planned, AAAS Sciencemag.org reported Tuesday. The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel urged the Department of Energy to keep running the collider through 2014 instead o ... read more |
