Schoolchildren, families, and citizen scientists around the world will gaze skyward after dark from October 1 to 15, looking for specific constellations and then sharing their observations through the Internet. The initiative, called the Great World Wide Star Count, will help scientists map l...

NASA to Hold Media Teleconference on Bizarre Star Astronomers are scheduled to announce new findings about a star unlike any seen before at a media teleconference Wednesday, Aug. 15, at 17:00 GMT (1 p.m. EDT). The findings are from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer, managed by NASA's Jet Propulsi...

How is matter created? What happens when stars die? Is the universe shrinking, or is it expanding? For decades, scientists have been looking for answers to such "big picture" questions. For the past few months, members of the department of physics at Florida State University have begun...

Bahraini astronomers are backing a call for the creation of an Arab space agency to involve the region in the industry and assist Arab scientists to research and promote exploration. The issue will be discussed at an international forum on astronomy to be held in Alexandria, Egypt, in October. [url...

Charles Kankelborg, a "well-rounded astrophysicist" at Montana State University, now has an asteroid named after him. The asteroid, 269 million miles away from the sun, was detected from an observatory in the middle of a steamy Texas swamp where alligators sometimes loiter at the bas...

First Molecular Anion Identified In Space Once thought too fragile to exist in the severe environment of outer space, molecular anions may actually be ubiquitous there. For the first time, researchers have observed in astronomical clouds large amounts of a negatively charged molecul...

The Willan Space Gallery uses with interactive activities to explore that age-old fascination. Visitors can touch a piece of the moon, build rockets and play a shadow game with weightless M&Ms. EAA holds a space exploration weekend twice each year, and Raudabaugh said it has never seen a more p...

NASA has created a new office to study in more detail some of the universe's most exotic phenomena: dark energy, black holes and cosmic microwave background radiation. The new Einstein Probes Office will facilitate NASA's future medium-class science missions to investigate these profound cosm...

Observing the image of a faint object that lies close to a star is a demanding task as the object is generally hidden in the glare of the star. Characterising this object, by taking spectra, is an even harder challenge. Still, thanks to ingenious scientists and a new ESO imaging spectrograph, this is n...

Title: SN 2005hj: Evidence for Two Classes of Normal-Bright SNe Ia and Implications for Cosmology Authors: Robert Quimby, Peter Höflich, J. Craig Wheeler HET Optical spectra covering the evolution from about 6 days before to about 5 weeks after maximum light and the ROTSE-IIIb unfiltered light c...

A new study of old rocks on Earth could force a revision of theories about Mars. The results suggest ancient Mars might have been more magnetic than thought, challenging basic assumptions about the evolution of the red planet. Data from the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft have revealed a pattern...
