Unique Martian formation reproduced, reveals brief bursts of water
Researchers from the United States and the Netherlands report that several formations on Mars indicate incidents of rapid release of water from the planet's interior. view more (2008-02-21)
Eclipsing brown dwarfs provide new key to the star formation process
Pity the brown dwarf. It's too large to be a planet, but too small to be a star. view more (2006-03-16)
Life And Death In Space
Ever since its formation at the birth of the Solar System, some 4570 million years ago, planet Earth has resembled a giant bulls-eye in space, a target for asteroids and comets of all shapes and sizes. Clearly, this violent history has influenced the planet's surface and atmosphere, as well as the evolution of life. Some impactors bring water and... view more... (2003-04-05)
IBEX spacecraft detects fast neutral hydrogen coming from the moon
NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft has made the first observations of very fast hydrogen atoms coming from the moon, following decades of speculation and searching for their existence. view more (2009-06-19)
42-meter giant will probe the universe
The future of European astronomy is poised to enter a new era of discovery with the decision announced today by ESO's governing body to proceed with detailed studies for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). view more (2006-12-13)
Meteorite grains divulge Earth's cosmic roots
The interstellar stuff that became incorporated into the planets and life on Earth has younger cosmic roots than theories predict. view more (2009-06-16)
Binary asteroid in Jupiter's orbit may be icy comets from solar system's infancy
Astronomers at the University of California, Berkeley, working with colleagues in France and at the Keck Telescope in Hawaii, have calculated the density of a known binary asteroid system that shares Jupiter's orbit, and concluded that Patroclus and its companion probably are composed mostly of water ice covered by a patina of dirt. view more (2006-02-02)
Creation of a magnetic field in a turbulent fluid
Understanding the origin and behavior of the magnetic fields of planets and stars is the goal of research being carried out by many teams from all over the world. view more (2007-03-12)
Basque Country University researchers publish two articles in Nature on latest discoveries on Venus
Nature journal has published a series of articles devoted to the new discoveries by the European Space Agency's (ESA) Venus Express space probe made on our neighbouring planet. view more (2007-12-03)
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 smokin'. 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)
Unveiling the true face of a gigantic star
An international team of astronomers, led by Keiichi Ohnaka at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) in Bonn, has made the most high resolution images of a dying giant star to date. view more (2009-08-07)
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 found by chance during an unrelated research... view more... (2002-05-14)
NASA spacecraft show three dimensional anatomy of a solar storm
Twin NASA spacecraft have provided scientists with their first view of the speed, trajectory, and three-dimensional shape of powerful explosions from the sun known as coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. view more (2009-04-15)
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 down to Jupiter-sized objects. 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 satellites. Polarization of solar light at... view more... (2001-01-17)
