A multimillion-pound project to develop a new type of telescope, deemed to be "first-rate science", has been cancelled before its completion by the Science and Technology Facilities Council. The Clover project is jointly run by the universities of Cardiff, Oxford, Cambridge and Man...

First Light for Gamma-Ray Burst Chaser at La Silla A new instrument has seen First Light at the ESO La Silla Observatory. Equipping the 2.2-m MPI/ESO telescope, GROND takes images simultaneously in seven colours. It will be mostly used to determine distances of gamma-ray bursts. Taking images in d...

Cosmochemists have identified six main compositional types of magma that formed inside asteroids during the first 100 million years of Solar System history. These magmas vary in their chemical and mineralogical make up, but all have in common low concentrations of sodium and other volatile elem...

Jets of charged particles have been caught in the act of forming for the first time in a new laboratory experiment. The research may help astrophysicists understand how magnetic fields confine jets over hundreds or thousands of light years in length - similar to those that spew from stars and gala...

Italian astronomer Andrea Boattini broke the record for the number of new comets sighted in one year when he spotted his seventh at Christmas. The previous record had been held for some 150 years by Italian astronomers Francesco De Vito and Giovanni Battista Donati who in the mid-1800s sighted six c...

Contrary to expectations for a small icy body, much of the comet dust returned by the Stardust mission formed very close to the young sun and was altered from the solar systems early materials. When the Stardust mission returned to Earth with samples from the comet Wild 2 in 2006, scientists knew the m...

For the first time, a CSIRO radio telescope has been linked to others in China and Europe in real-time, demonstrating the power of high-speed global networks and effectively creating a telescope almost as big as the Earth. Last week a CSIRO telescope near Coonabarabran NSW was used simultaneously...

A Cornell-led team of astronomers has observed dust forming around a dying star in a nearby galaxy, giving a glimpse into the early universe and enlivening a debate about the origins of all cosmic dust. The findings are reported in the Jan. 16 issue of the journal Science (Vol. 323, No. 5912). Cornell...
