Birds, Bees And Cool Shades
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Nov 10, 2004Today, a group of physicists published the most compact and elegant explanation of one of nature's simplest phenomena: the way light behaves in the sky above us. This research appears today (Tuesday, 9th November) in the New Journal of Physics, published jointly by the Institute of Physics and Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (German Physical Society). US And Russia - What's Next?
Moscow (UPI) Oct 15, 2004UPI's Moscow-based analyst Peter Lavelle put questions to experts Dale Herspring, Peter Rutland, Andrew C. Kuchins, Ira Straus, Gordon Hahn, Vlad Sobell and Janusz Bugajski, concerning the present state and future of U.S.-Russia relations. Frequent Starbursts Sterilize Center Of Milky Way
Boston MA (SPX) Oct 05, 2004Life near the center of our galaxy never had a chance. Every 20 million years on average, gas pours into the galactic center and slams together, creating millions of new stars. The more massive stars soon go supernova, exploding violently and blasting the surrounding space with enough energy to sterilize it completely. |
Genesis Team Hopeful About Samples
Dugway UT (SPX) Sep 17, 2004Genesis team scientists and engineers continue their work on the mission's sample return canister in a specially constructed clean room at the U.S. Army Proving Ground in Dugway, Utah. As more of the capsule's contents are revealed, the team's level of enthusiasm for the amount of science obtainable continues to rise. Catching A Falling Star
Cerro Paranal, Chile (SPX) Aug 02, 2004While observing a supernova in a distant galaxy with the FORS instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope at the Paranal Observatory (Chile), astronomers were incredibly lucky to obtain serendipitously a high quality spectrum of a very large meteor in the terrestrial atmosphere. NASA Spacecraft Locks The Vault On Its Sapphire, Diamond Payload
Pasadena - Apr 06, 2004Since October 2001 NASA's Genesis spacecraft has exposed specially designed, collector arrays of sapphire, silicon, gold and diamond to the sun's solar wind. That collection of pristine particles of the sun came to an end last week, when NASA's Genesis team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., ordered the spacecraft's collectors deactivated and stowed. The closeout process was completed when Genesis closed and sealed the spacecraft's sample-return capsule. |

Genesis Scooping Up Solar Wind
Pasadena - Dec 01, 2003The Genesis spacecraft continues its mission collecting solar wind material expelled from the Sun. Telemetry from the Genesis spacecraft indicates that all spacecraft subsystems are reporting nominal operation. Keeping Space Free Of Debris
Paris - Nov 27, 2003On 22 February 1986, a European Ariane 1 launcher orbited SPOT 1, the first European Earth observation satellite decided by the governments of Belgium, Sweden and France. Initially designed to operate for three years, SPOT 1 has since supplied commercial operator Spot Image with more than 2.7 million high-quality satellite images. ESA Awards The First Aurora Mission Design Contracts
Paris (ESA) Oct 01, 2003A major milestone in ESA's long-term Aurora programme of Solar System exploration has been passed with the announcement of the winners of competitive contracts for two of the programme's key robotic missions - ExoMars and Earth re-entry Vehicle Demonstrator (EVD). |
Genesis Performs Seven Minute Burn
Pasadena - Jun 18, 2003The Genesis spacecraft continues its mission collecting solar wind material expelled from the Sun. Telemetry from the Genesis spacecraft indicates that all spacecraft subsystems are reporting nominal operation. CHIPS Begins Interstellar Search For Birthplace Of Solar Systems
Washington - Mar10, 2003The Cosmic Hot Interstellar Plasma Spectrometer (CHIPS) satellite is living up to the adage "good things come in small packages," as the suitcase-size spacecraft is entering its second month of providing data to scientists about the birthplace of solar systems. Herschel Scopes Best Candidate For A Supernova Explosion
Santa Cruz - Feb 11, 2003An international team of astronomers using the Utrecht Echelle Spectrograph on the William Herschel Telescope has identified the bright star Rho Cassiopeiae as the best candidate to undergo a supernova explosion in the near future. The results of this investigation are to be published in a research paper in The Astrophysical Journal on February 1. |
