A more complete study of the Solar System
The Basque company SENER has been contracted by the European Space Agency (ESA) to prepare a technologies programme for the GAIA astronomy mission. The specifications of this satellite include an 11-metre diameter parasol which unfolds after being put into orbit, giving thermal stability in a passive way to the telescope. SENER is developing this... view more... (2004-02-05)
Hubble finds infant stars in neighbouring galaxy
Hubble astronomers have uncovered, for the first time, a population of infant stars in the Milky Way satellite galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC, visible to the naked eye in the southern constellation Tucana), located 210,000 light-years away. view more (2005-01-12)
Cosmic dance helps galaxies lose weight
A study published this week in the journal Nature offers an explanation for the origin of dwarf spheroidal galaxies. The research may settle an outstanding puzzle in understanding galaxy formation. view more (2009-07-30)
Rare galaxies shed light on a dark universe
Researchers based at the Institute for Computational Cosmology (ICC) in Durham and at Caltech in California, have found striking proof that their computer simulations of the universe can accurately predict how galaxies are clustered, so helping to reveal the distribution of dark matter throughout the universe. Using a computer simulation to follow... view more... (2002-04-04)
Marine moss reveals clues to anticancer compound
An Oregon Health & Science University researcher believes the discovery of a gene cluster from a bacterium that protects a moss-like marine invertebrate from predators may be the first step toward engineering cancer-fighting drugs. view more (2007-03-12)
Success For Early Double Star Launch
A rare event in the history of space exploration took place yesterday (25 July) when the second European-Chinese Double Star spacecraft lifted off a day early from Taiyuan spaceport, west of Beijing, on a Long March 2C rocket. The launch of the spacecraft, officially called Tan Ce 2 (Explorer 2), was brought forward one day to avoid bad weather.... view more... (2004-07-26)
The dark matter of the universe has a long lifetime
New research from the Niels Bohr Institute presents new information that adds another piece of knowledge to the jigsaw puzzle of the dark mystery of the universe - dark matter. The research has just been published in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters. view more (2007-10-02)
Old Galaxies in the Young Universe
Very Large Telescope Unravels New Population of Very Old Massive Galaxies [1] Current theories of the formation of galaxies are based on the hierarchical merging of smaller entities into larger and larger structures, starting from about the size of a stellar globular cluster and ending with clusters of galaxies. According to this scenario, it is... view more... (2004-07-06)
Lots of Small Stars Born in Starburst Region
The present research programme was granted observing time with VLT ANTU in April 1999. Its general aim is to investigate collective, massive star formation, in particular the coalescence of high- and low-mass stars in the violent environments of starburst regions. These are areas in which the processes that lead to the birth of new stars are... view more... (1999-10-13)
Hubble finds double Einstein ring
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a never-before-seen optical alignment in space: a pair of glowing rings, one nestled inside the other like a bull's-eye pattern. The double-ring pattern is caused by the complex bending of light from two distant galaxies strung directly behind a foreground massive galaxy, like three beads on a... view more... (2008-01-11)
Details of solar particles penetrating the Earth's environment revealed
Co-ordinated efforts by China/ESA's Double Star and ESA's Cluster spacecraft have allowed scientists to zero in on an area where energetic particles from the Sun are blasting their way through the Earth's magnetic shield. view more (2006-10-04)
Astrophysicists Solve Mystery in Milky Way Galaxy
A team of astrophysicists has solved a mystery that led some scientists to speculate that the distribution of certain gamma rays in our Milky Way galaxy was evidence of a form of undetectable "dark matter" believed to make up much of the mass of the universe. view more (2009-07-09)
Yale Astronomer Discovers Upper Mass Limit for Black Holes
here appears to be an upper limit to how big the universe's most massive black holes can get, according to new research led by a Yale University astrophysicist. view more (2008-09-12)
Stellar explosion displays massive carbon footprint
While humans are still struggling to get rid of unwanted carbon it appears that the heavens are really rather good at it. view more (2009-06-01)
Adaptive optics leads the way to supermassive black holes
Astronomers have discovered the exact location and makeup of a pair of supermassive black holes at the center of a collision of two galaxies more than 300 million light years away. view more (2007-05-18)
Non-coding RNAs help silence the mammalian transcription
Dr. Shirley Tilghman and colleagues (Princeton University) lend new insight into the mechanism of genomic imprinting, demonstrating a necessary role for a non-coding RNA transcript in the silencing of an imprinted gene cluster in mice. view more (2006-05-15)
Hubble sees the graceful dance of 2 interacting galaxies
A pair of galaxies, known collectively as Arp 87, is one of hundreds of interacting and merging galaxies known in our nearby Universe. Arp 87 was originally discovered and catalogued by astronomer Halton Arp in the 1970s. Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies is a compilation of astronomical photographs using the Palomar 200-inch Hale and the 48-inch... view more... (2007-10-31)
University Computer Cluster To Help Heart Health And Cancer Patients
A new computer cluster funded by the University of Sheffield and located within the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, will help scientists to improve their understanding of how human cells and organs work. This will ultimately lead to more effective ways of treating cardiovascular disease and cancer as well as other diseases. It will also eventually... view more... (2004-06-17)
Study establishes new class of cancer-causing genes
Over the past few years, scientists have discovered that a new class of genetic regulators called "microRNAs" influences normal human growth and development. Now, researchers have found that microRNAs also play an important role in human cancer. view more (2005-06-08)
Physicist makes new high-res panorama of Milky Way
Cobbling together 3000 individual photographs, a physicist has made a new high-resolution panoramic image of the full night sky, with the Milky Way galaxy as its centerpiece. view more (2009-10-29)
