Cracks In The Foundation: Fundamental Geological Assumption Relating To Planet Earth Not Quite True (5/2/2008)

Cracks In The Foundation: Fundamental Geological Assumption Relating To Planet Earth Not Quite TrueChondritic meteorites have a similar chemical composition to the sun and are therefore reliable witnesses as to what the solar nebula, from which the planets formed, was composed of ...> Full Article



Team aims to search for Earth-like planets with Google's help (3/24/2008)

Team aims to search for Earth-like planets with Google's helpscientists are designing a satellite-based observatory that they say could for the first time provide a sensitive survey of the entire sky to search for planets outside the solar system that appear to cross in front of bright stars. The system could rapidly discover hundreds of planets similar to the Earth. ...> Full Article

Dirty Space and Supernovae (2/29/2008)

Interstellar space may be strewn with tiny whiskers of carbon, dimming the light of far-away objects. This discovery by scientists at the Carnegie Institution may have implications for the "dark energy" hypothesis, proposed a decade ago in part to explain the unexpected dimness of certain stellar explosions called Type1a supernovae. ...> Full Article



Possible Progenitor Of Special Supernova Type Detected (2/17/2008)

Possible Progenitor Of Special Supernova Type DetectedUsing data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have reported the possible detection of a binary star system that was later destroyed in a supernova explosion. The new method they used provides great future promise for finding the detailed origin of these important cosmic events. ...> Full Article


Astronomers Discover Scaled-Down Jupiter And Saturn In A Faraway Solar System Like Our Own (2/15/2008)

Astronomers Discover Scaled-Down Jupiter And Saturn In A Faraway Solar System Like Our OwnAn international team of astronomers has discovered two planets that resemble smaller versions of Jupiter and Saturn in a solar system nearly 5,000 light years away. ...> Full Article


Nova Finding Challenges Thinking On Powerful Stellar Explosions (2/4/2008)

Nova Finding Challenges Thinking On Powerful Stellar ExplosionsFirst results from a new NASA-funded scientific instrument at the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii are helping scientists overturn long-standing assumptions about powerful explosions called novae and have produced the first unified model for a nearby nova called RS Ophiuchi. ...> Full Article

Astronomers find stellar cradle where planets form (12/3/2007)

Astronomers find stellar cradle where planets formAstronomers at the University of Illinois have found the first clear evidence for a cradle in space where planets and moons form. The cradle, revealed in photographs taken with NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, consists of a flattened envelope of gas and dust surrounding a young protostar. ...> Full Article
