ESO's Very Large Telescope celebrates 15 years of success
With this new view of a spectacular stellar nursery ESO is celebrating 15 years of the Very Large Telescope - the world's most advanced optical instrument. (2013-05-23)
NASA Builds Unusual Testbed for Analyzing X-ray Navigation Technologies
Pulsars have a number of unusual qualities. Like zombies, they shine even though they're technically dead, and they rotate rapidly, emitting powerful and regular beams of radiation that are seen as flashes of light, blinking on and off at intervals from seconds to milliseconds. (2013-05-21)
High-Testosterone Competitors More Likely to Choose Red
Why do so many sports players and athletes choose to wear the color red when they compete? A new study to be published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, suggests that it may have to do with their testosterone levels. (2013-05-17)
NASA Completes First Part of Webb Telescope's 'Eye Surgery' Operation
Much like the inside of an operating room, in the clean room at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., engineers worked meticulously to implant part of the eyes of the James Webb Space Telescope. They scrubbed up and suited up to perform one of the most delicate performances of their lives. (2013-05-16)
South Africa's new radio telescope reveals giant outbursts from binary star system
An international team of astronomers have reported the first scientific results from the Karoo Array Telescope (KAT-7) in South Africa, the pathfinder radio telescope for the $3 billion global Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project. (2013-05-16)
Passenger car drivers are more likely to die in crashes with SUVs, regardless of crash safety ratings

Orion's hidden fiery ribbon
This dramatic new image of cosmic clouds in the constellation of Orion reveals what seems to be a fiery ribbon in the sky. (2013-05-15)
New Method of Finding Planets Scores its First Discovery
Detecting alien worlds presents a significant challenge since they are small, faint, and close to their stars. (2013-05-14)
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope Finds Dead Stars 'Polluted with Planet Debris
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has found the building blocks for Earth-sized planets in an unlikely place-- the atmospheres of a pair of burned-out stars called white dwarfs. (2013-05-10)
An anarchic region of star formation
NGC 6559 is a cloud of gas and dust located at a distance of about 5000 light-years from Earth, in the constellation of Sagittarius (The Archer). The glowing region is a relatively small object, just a few light-years across, in contrast to the one hundred light-years and more spanned by its famous neighbour, the Lagoon Nebula. (2013-05-02)
