Hot spot on Enceladus causes plumes
Enceladus, the tiny satellite of Saturn, is colder than ice, but data gathered by the Cassini-Huygens Mission to Saturn and Titan has detected a hot spot that could mean there is life in the old moon after all. In fact, for researchers of the outer planets, Enceladus is so intellectually hot, it's... view more (2007-12-18)

Spread of plant diseases by insects can be described by equations that model interplanetary gravity
Researchers from Penn State University and the University of Virginia show that the spread of diseases by insects can be described by equations similar to those that describe the force of gravity between planetary objects.   view more (2006-09-05)

GROUND-BASED TELESCOPES HAVE AN EXTREMELY LARGE FUTURE
ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY PRESS NOTICE: GROUND-BASED TELESCOPES HAVE AN EXTREMELY LARGE FUTURE   view more (2005-03-28)

Infrared Images of an Infant Solar System
ESO telescopes have detected a strange-looking object. Using the ESO 3.6-m New Technology Telescope and the Very Large Telescope (VLT), a team of astronomers [1] have discovered a dusty and opaque disk surrounding a young solar-type star in the outskirts of a dark cloud in the Milky Way. It was... view more (2002-05-14)

A Brown Dwarf Joins the Jet-Set
Jets of matter have been discovered around a very low mass 'failed star', mimicking a process seen in young stars. This suggests that these 'brown dwarfs' form in a similar manner to normal stars but also that outflows are driven out by objects as massive as hundreds of millions of solar masses... view more (2007-05-24)

NASA announces details of Hubble servicing mission
NASA scientists and a space shuttle astronaut today outlined details of a challenging mission that will repair and upgrade the Hubble Space Telescope in 2008.   view more (2008-01-09)

Mysterious carbon excess found in infant solar system
Astronomers detected unusually high quantities of carbon, the basis of all terrestrial life, in an infant solar system around nearby star Beta Pictoris, 63 light-years away.   view more (2006-06-08)

Monster galaxy pileup sighted
Four galaxies are slamming into each other and kicking up billions of stars in one of the largest cosmic smash-ups ever observed.   view more (2007-08-07)

It will be possible to predict earthquakes from space
The scientists of the Department of Physics, Moscow State University, have proposed to predict earthquakes by measuring polarization of the solar light that is reflected from the surface of the Earth. The small and cheap equipment, which the scientists have designed, can be placed on meteorological... view more (2001-01-17)

Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Chile and ESO for Establishing a New Center for Observation in Chile - ALMA
On October 21, 2002, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Chile, Mrs. Maria Soledad Alvear and the ESO Director General, Dr. Catherine Cesarsky, signed an Agreement that authorizes ESO to establish a new center for astronomical observation in Chile. This new center for astronomical... view more (2002-10-24)

Nanotechnology for Space Applications
Ever more fastidious missions for the scientific investigation of space as well as the increasing use of satellite-based services require the development of more efficient, more economical and more resistant space technologies and systems in the future. A study of the VDI Technology Center on... view more (2003-04-14)

Saturn's aurora - not as we thought! Comment from UK scientists
Results which combine data from the joint NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini Huygens space mission and the Hubble Space Telescope, published in Nature today (17th February 2005), reveal that Saturn's auroras, long thought to be a cross between those of Earth and Jupiter, are in fact different and may even be... view more (2005-02-17)

Voyager data may reveal trajectory of solar system
Nearly 30 years after launch, the two Voyager spacecraft are still operational and returning useful data. In their early years they produced some of the first close up images of the large outer planets.   view more (2006-05-31)

ISO satellite investigates dust discs around stars
investigate the dust discs around normal stars. Those few stars which are surrounded by clouds of dust (our own Sun is surrounded by a dust cloud) would form a list of stars which might have orbiting planets - some of which may support life. These stars would be among the first to be investigated... view more (1996-10-31)

COROT finds exoplanet orbiting Sun-like star
A team of European scientists working with COROT have discovered an exoplanet orbiting a star slightly more massive than the Sun. After just 555 days in orbit, the mission has now observed more than 50 000 stars and is adding significantly to our knowledge of the fundamental workings of stars.   view more (2008-07-28)

Astronomers Weigh the Coldest Brown Dwarfs with Astronomy's Sharpest Eyes
Astronomers have used ultrasharp images obtained with the Keck Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope to determine for the first time the masses of the coldest class of "failed stars," a.k.a. brown dwarfs.   view more (2008-06-03)

Young children don't believe everything they hear
Childhood is a time when young minds receive a vast amount of new information. Until now, it's been thought that children believe most of what they hear. New research sheds light on children's abilities to distinguish between fantasy and reality.   view more (2006-11-14)

Comet probes reveal evidence of origin of life, scientists claim
Recent probes inside comets show it is overwhelmingly likely that life began in space, according to a new paper by Cardiff University scientists.   view more (2007-08-15)
