Airborne dust causes ripple effect on climate far away
When a small pebble drops into a serene pool of water, it causes a ripple in the water in every direction, even disturbing distant still waters. view more (2007-01-30)
Watching how planets form
With the VISIR instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope, astronomers have mapped the disc around a star more massive than the Sun. The very extended and flared disc most likely contains enough gas and dust to spawn planets. view more (2006-09-29)
Astronaut health on moon may depend on good dusting
Lunar dust could be more than a housekeeping issue for astronauts who visit the moon. Their good health may depend on the amount of exposure they have to the tiny particles. view more (2008-05-14)
Observations from space: NASA environmental data and lung disease
NASA gathers a tremendous amount of data on the environment that can be helpful in understanding lung disease. view more (2008-05-19)
Royal Society Summer Exhibition - Take Part In The Cassini-Huygens Mission
UK space scientists are involved in a plethora of spacecraft that are currently exploring the planets, moons and comets in our Solar System. The UK Goes to the Planets exhibit at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition provides an opportunity to find out about these missions direct from the scientists. Within the last couple of years we have... view more... (2004-06-30)
Household dust is main source of flame retardants in humans
Household dust is the main route of exposure to flame retardants for people - from toddlers to adults - followed by eating animal and dairy products, according to a report in the July 15 issue of the American Chemical Society's journal Environmental Science & Technology. view more (2005-07-07)
Tunguska catastrophe: Evidence of acid rain supports meteorite theory
The Tunguska event is regarded as one of the biggest natural disasters of modern times. On 30 June 1908 one or more explosions took place in the area close to the Tunguska River north of Lake Baikal. The explosion(s) flattened around 80 million trees over an area of more than 2000 square kilometres. view more (2008-07-16)
NASA Supercomputer Shows How Dust Rings Point to Exo-Earths
Supercomputer simulations of dusty disks around sunlike stars show that planets nearly as small as Mars can create patterns that future telescopes may be able to detect. The research points to a new avenue in the search for habitable planets. view more (2008-10-13)
Double Engine for a Nebula
ESO has just released a stunning new image of a field of stars towards the constellation of Carina (the Keel). This striking view is ablaze with a flurry of stars of all colours and brightnesses, some of which are seen against a backdrop of clouds of dust and gas. view more (2009-08-06)
NC State Researchers
Researchers at North Carolina State University have used a mathematical model that allows them to get a clearer picture of the galaxy's youngest supernova remnant by correcting for the distortions caused by cosmic dust. view more (2009-04-23)
Asthma Control Research Cuts Doctors Visits By More Than Two Thirds
Asthma sufferers made two-thirds fewer visits to their doctor's for help with their condition and significantly reduced their prescription drug use, after taking part in a four-year research programme designed by the University of Strathclyde to make their homes healthier. view more (2001-11-12)
Cool spacedust survey goes into orbit
University of Nottingham astronomers will be studying icy cosmic dust millions of light years away - using the biggest space telescope ever built. view more (2008-02-04)
Multi-wavelength images help astronomers study star birth, death
In recent years, a number of ground-based optical and radio surveys of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds - Earth's nearest neighboring galaxies - have become available. view more (2006-01-12)
University of Colorado student-built instrument set to launch on Pluto mission
The University of Colorado at Boulder's long heritage with NASA planetary missions will continue Jan. 17 with the launch of a student space dust instrument on the New Horizons Mission to Pluto from Florida's Kennedy Space Center. view more (2005-12-29)
Astronomers get best view yet of infant stars at feeding time
Astronomers have used ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer to conduct the first high resolution survey that combines spectroscopy and interferometry on intermediate-mass infant stars. view more (2008-10-13)
Avoiding house dust mites and changing diet proves ineffective
New research shows avoiding house dust mite allergens from birth does not prevent the onset of asthma, eczema or atopy in high-risk children. view more (2006-06-29)
Infrared Halo Frames a Newborn Star
Observations with the VLT of a star-forming cloud have revealed, for the first time, a ring of infrared light around a nascent star. The images also show the presence of jets that emanate from the young object and collide with the surrounding cloud. The full text of this Press Release, with the photo (ESO PR Photo 26a/03) and all related links, is... view more... (2003-08-28)
Sussex University astronomer takes part in NASA mission
When NASA launches its new orbiting observatory this week, a University of Sussex astronomer will be looking at parts of the universe never seen before. Dr Sebastian Oliver is one of just a handful of UK scientists involved in the largest project for NASA's Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF), which leaves Cape Canaveral on Saturday, August... view more...

Rosetta closes in on Earth - a second time
ESA's comet chaser, Rosetta, is on its way to its second close encounter with Earth on 13 November. The spacecraft's operators are leaving no stones unturned to make sure Earth's gravity gives it the exact boost it needs en route to its destination. view more (2007-11-09)
Barn Personnel Experience Higher-Than Average Rates of Respiratory Symptoms
The estimated 4.6 million Americans involved in the equine industry may be at risk of developing respiratory symptoms due to poor air quality in horse barns. view more (2009-11-23)
