Space X-ray telescope arrives for tests at RAL
An X-ray telescope weighing half a tonne, due for launch on a Russian spacecraft in 1998, arrived at CLRC's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory today for thermal tests. With conditions in space so different from those on Earth (space is an icy-cold vacuum), it is vital to test any instrument before launch to make sure that it can work in a vacuum at temperatures of about -270?C. This will be... View More (1996-12-10)

Good news: How the Earth will survive when the Sun becomes a supergiant
The astronomy textbooks will have to be rewritten, say astrophysicists at the University of Sussex who have re-examined standard calculations about solar evolution and the distant future of the Earth. The textbooks tell us that one day the Sun will burn up its nuclear fuel and expand to an enormous size, finally engulfing its inner planets including Earth. However, using the latest data based on... View More (2002-01-08)
