'Over The Moon' At Saturn
UK scientists involved in the Cassini space mission were 'over the Moon' after the spacecraft's 100,000 km per hour white knuckle ride courtesy of Saturn's gravity which successfully completed the critical manoeuvre to place Cassini in orbit around the ringed planet. 'I've waited 15 years for this moment,' said Dr Andrew Coates of the UK's... view more... (2004-07-01)

Huygens test successful
ESA's Huygens probe, now orbiting Saturn on board the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft, is in good health and successfully passed its fifteenth 'In-Flight Checkout' on 14 September 2004. This in-flight checkout procedure was the last but one planned before separation of the Huygens probe from Cassini in December this year, and it included some... view more... (2004-09-17)

Life elsewhere in Solar System could be different from life as we know it
The search for life elsewhere in the solar system and beyond should include efforts to detect what scientists sometimes refer to as "weird" life -- that is, life with an alternative biochemistry to that of life on Earth -- says a new report from the National Research Council. view more (2007-07-09)

ARD on show at Cité de l'Espace
ESA's Atmospheric Re-entry Demonstrator has now arrived at Cité de l'Espace in Toulouse, France where it will form part of the Ariane 5 launcher exhibit. The ARD is Europe's first step towards developing a re-entry vehicle so that people and equipment can be sent into space - and brought back safely. The ARD was launched in October 1998... view more... (2002-06-05)

UK astronomers take control of the time domain
Although there are numerous telescopes - both large and small - examining the night sky at any one time, the heavens are so vast and so densely populated with all manner of exotic objects that it is extremely easy to overlook a significant random event. Fortunately, a new generation of scientific instruments is now enabling UK astronomers to... view more... (2004-02-09)
Hazy red sunset on extrasolar planet
A team of astronomers have used the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to detect, for the first time, strong evidence of hazes in the atmosphere of a planet orbiting a distant star. The discovery comes after extensive observations made recently with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). view more (2007-12-11)
Nature press release for 5 April issue
[410701] LIFELINES: HOPE STEMS FOR A BROKEN HEART (pp701-705; N&V) Stem cells from mouse bone marrow can help repair muscle killed in heart attacks, Piero Anversa and his team at New York Medical College, New York, and colleagues, show in this week’s Nature.

Alfalfa sprouts key to discovering how meandering rivers form and maintain
Sinuous, meandering streams produce diverse and wildlife-rich habitats and are the aim of many river restoration efforts, but until now, the bank, water flow and sediment conditions required to form and maintain meanders have been largely a matter of speculation. view more (2009-10-06)
