The annual Leeds Festival of Science hits town this week promising to be bigger and better than ever. More than 90 interactive experiments, demonstrations and debates will take place during the city-wide festival, which aims to bring science subjects to life. [url=http://www.leeds.ac.uk/new...
Carbon fibre stretches from comet to machine tools Ultra-light carbon-fibre rods used to stiffen a comet probe's legs are now being harnessed by a German manufacturer to boost the precision and efficiency of their laser cutters. Right now, the rods in question are on a collision course with a comet...

Astronomers have witnessed odd behaviour around a young star. Something, perhaps another star or a planet, appears to be pushing a clump of planet-forming material around. The observations, made with NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, offer a rare look into the early stages of planet formation. Pl...
Two suns' spotted in China The double sun image is an effect of optical refraction, he said, but it's a "pretty darn rare" one, and one not fully explained by science. previous sightings of horizontally-aligned double images of the sun and moon are recorded in a book called "Light an...
