This video provides zoom and pan moves to emphasise the context and features of a Martian valley named Athabasca Valles, perhaps the youngest outflow channel on Mars. The detailed view comes from an image taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Recon...
Title: Discovery of Crystallised Water Ice in a Silhouette Disk in the M43 Region Authors: Hiroshi Terada, Alan T. Tokunaga We present the 1.9--4.2um spectra of the five bright (L<11.2) young stars associated with silhouette disks with moderate to high inclination angle of 39--80deg in the M4...

I am just not a morning person. I'm an astronomer. Astronomers are supposed to stay up until the wee early morning hours and then crash into bed before the sun rises and sleep until noon. Right? Right. My husband likes to be in bed by nine and is frighteningly perky in the morning. Well, maybe this fall, h...

Title: ChAInGeS: The Chandra Arp Interacting Galaxies Survey Authors: Beverly J. Smith (ETSU), Douglas A. Swartz (USRA/MSFC), Olivia Miller (ETSU), Jacob A. Burleson (UAH), Michael A. Nowak (MIT-CXC), Curtis Struck (ISU) We have conducted a statistical analysis of the ultra-luminous X-ray p...
Photometric data gathered by INTEGRAL's Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) has been used to study selected eclipsing binary stars for which the light curve had hitherto not been analysed. This recent study by Petr Zasche (Astronomical Institute, Charles University in Prague) provides new key inf...
Title: A no-hair theorem for the galileon Authors: Lam Hui, Alberto Nicolis We consider a galileon field coupled to gravity. The standard no-hair theorems do not apply, because of the galileon's peculiar derivative interactions. We prove that, nonetheless, static spherically symmetric black...
Ranger 4 was a spacecraft of the Ranger program designed to transmit pictures of the lunar surface to Earth stations during a period of 10 minutes of flight prior to crashing upon the Moon, to rough-land a seismometer capsule on the Moon, to collect gamma-ray data in flight, to study radar reflectivi...
