A team of Swinburne students has developed a multi robot system that won them first place at the national iNexus Robot Competition and second place at the world final in Mumbai, India. The competition set teams the challenge of replicating a manned spacecraft mission called Mars Manoeuvre. A manua...
NASA Telescopes Help Identify Most Distant Galaxy Cluster Astronomers have uncovered a burgeoning galactic metropolis, the most distant known in the early universe. This ancient collection of galaxies presumably grew into a modern galaxy cluster similar to the massive ones seen today. The dev...
Sukanya Chakrabarti has high hopes for finding what might be called Galaxy X - a dwarf galaxy that she predicts orbits our Milky Way Galaxy. Many large galaxies, such as the Milky Way, are thought to have lots of satellite galaxies too dim to see. They are dominated by "dark matter," which a...

A magnitude 12.9 type Ia supernova, 2011B, was discovered on the 7th January, 2011, by K. Itagaki ans M. Tsuboi (Japan) in the galaxy NGC 2655 in the constellation Camelopardalis. The supernova is located 31.7" east and 21.4" south from the center of the galaxy. Position (2000): RA = 08 55 48.50, Dec...
The 18 - 41 metre wide asteroid 2001 BA16 will make a close pass (70.9 lunar distances, 0.1823 AU), travelling at 9.97 km/second, to the Earth-Moon system on the 18th January, 2011 @ 16:48 UT ±01:22. See more The Lunar Distance (LD), the distance between Earth and the Moon, equals 384,401 km, (or 0.002...
I have devised a means of calculating a common source for these and so far three other similar events. I'll try and upload a PDF doc with the full explanation but maybe there's a limit to the size here, if it doesn't work, could the administrator please advise how I might be able to make this available to y...
