Rogue Black Holes May Roam the Milky Way
It sounds like the plot of a sci-fi movie: rogue black holes roaming our galaxy, threatening to swallow anything that gets too close. In fact, new calculations by Ryan O'Leary and Avi Loeb (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) suggest that hundreds of massive black holes, left over from the galaxy-building days of the early universe, may... view more...

Overviews at a glance: New visualization software for diagrams
Bonn, March 4, 2003. Information overload? It is becoming increasingly important for companies and developers to present complex coherences clearly and concisely. In order to structure the growing amount of information, new methods are being conceived at the man/machine interface. This is where GoVisual software, developed at the international... view more...

Cluster hits the magnetic bull's-eye
ESA's spacecraft constellation Cluster has hit the magnetic bull's-eye. The four spacecraft surrounded a region within which the Earth's magnetic field was spontaneously reconfiguring itself. view more (2006-07-19)
Giant Galaxy Messier 87 finally sized up
Using ESO's Very Large Telescope, astronomers have succeeded in measuring the size of giant galaxy Messier 87 and were surprised to find that its outer parts have been stripped away by still unknown effects. view more (2009-05-21)
XMM-Newton digs into the secrets of fossil galaxy clusters
Taking advantage of the high sensitivity of ESA's XMM-Newton and the sharp vision of NASA's Chandra X-Ray space observatories, astronomers have studied the behaviour of massive fossil galaxy clusters, trying to find out how they find the time to form- view more (2006-05-01)
ESA's XMM-Newton gains deep insights into the distant Universe
Using XMM-Newton, astronomers have obtained the world's deepest 'wide screen' X-ray image of the cosmos to date. Their observations show newly discovered clusters of galaxies and provide insights into the structure of the distant Universe"¦ Unlike grains of sand on a beach, matter is not uniformly spread throughout the Universe. Instead, it... view more... (2003-07-14)
Cluster helps to protect astronauts and satellites against 'killer electrons'
ESA's Cluster mission has revealed a new creation mechanism of 'killer electrons'-highly energetic electrons that are responsible for damaging satellites and posing a serious hazard to astronauts. view more (2005-12-23)
Hubble unveils colourful star birth region on 100 000th orbit milestone
In commemoration of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope completing its 100 000th orbit around the Earth in its 18th year of exploration and discovery, scientists have aimed Hubble to take a snapshot of a dazzling region of celestial birth and renewal. view more (2008-08-11)
Cluster - new insights into the electric circuits of polar lights
Giant electrical circuits power the magical open-air light show of the auroras, forming arcs in high-latitude regions like Scandinavia. New results obtained thanks to ESA's Cluster satellites provide a new insight into the source of the difference between the two types of electrical circuits currently known to be associated to the auroral arcs. view more (2007-02-12)
East Meets West To Solve Space Storm Mystery
The exploration of near-Earth space will enter a new phase on 26 July when a spacecraft called Tan Ce 2 (Explorer 2) lifts off from Taiyuan spaceport, west of Beijing, on a Chinese Long March 2C rocket. The launch is currently scheduled to take place at 08:23 BST (07:23 GMT). Tan Ce 2 is the second spacecraft to be built for the Double Star... view more... (2004-07-19)
Chinese satellites meet European instruments in London for space mission pre-nuptials
The hardware inside a Chinese space satellite is currently undergoing its final tests in London to make sure that it can 'talk' with the European science instruments it will be carrying, in advance of its mission launch in 2003. 37 scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have spent the last three weeks in a converted seminar room at... view more...

The Universe, seen under the Gran Sasso mountain, seems to be older than expected
Some nuclear fusion reactions inside stars occur more slowly than we thought and, as a consequence, stars themselves, as well as galaxies and the entire universe are a bit older than expected. This is what comes out from the last results of Luna experiment (Laboratory for Underground Nuclear astrophysics), settled by National Laboratories of Gran... view more... (2004-05-13)
Spatial Molecular Structure of the Bovine Prion Protein Decoded at the ETH Zurich
The healthy prion proteins of humans and bovine cattle are very similar. It therefore appears, that transmission of Mad Cow Disease (BSE) to humans might be rationalized on the level of the molecular structure. This is reported by a research team from the Institute for Molecular Biology and Biophysics of the ETH Zurich (The Swiss Federal Institute... view more... (2000-07-11)

World's largest robotic telescope ready for action!
The Liverpool Telescope, the world's largest fully robotic telescope, has snapped its first images of the heavens this week. This 2 meter optical telescope is owned by the Astrophysics Research Institute (ARI) of Liverpool John Moores University (JMU), but observes autonomously from its site on La Palma in the Canary Islands. The telescope was... view more... (2003-08-04)

Health and the Environment: European research on endocrine disrupters receives major boost
Europe's leading researchers on human health and wildlife impacts of endocrine disrupters will be brought together under a new research "cluster" supported by DG Research which is to contribute EUR20 million. This cluster project will provide a critical mass for new and existing research on endocrine disrupters and their effect on human... view more... (2002-05-15)
