Title: The light variability of the helium strong star HD 37776 as a result of its inhomogeneous elemental surface distribution Authors: J. Krticka, Z. Mikulasek, J. Zverko, J. Ziznovsky We simulate light curves of the helium strong chemically peculiar star HD 37776 assuming that the observed pe...
A man recently found out that a rock he stumbled upon two years ago is actually a meteorite. George Wright of Denton was walking outside his brother's house in Lufkin when he kicked a rock that was sticking out of the ground. He knew it wasn't like rocks that are typically found in the area, he said, becau...
A US Nike/improved Orion rocket with the German MAPHEUS-2 is scheduled to be launched from the Esrange Space Centre, Sweden in October, 2010. The payload will carry out experiments in microgravity in Suborbital flight. The MAPHEUS-1 was successfully launched from Esrange Space Centre on the 22n...
This new image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope show the globular cluster known as NGC 1806. Comprised of tens of thousands of stars, it sits within the Large Magellanic Cloud - a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way - and was first seen by the British astronomer John Herschel in 1806.
