Title: AINUR: Atlas of Images of NUclear Rings Authors: S. Comeron, J. H. Knapen, J. E. Beckman, E. Laurikainen, H. Salo, I. Martinez-Valpuesta, R. J. Buta (version v2) We present the most complete atlas of nuclear rings to date. We include 113 rings found in 107 galaxies, six of which are elliptical...
Physicist finds colder isn't always slower as electron emissions increase at temps down to -452 F Science is detective work so it was not unexpected that new questions would follow old ones as Indiana University Bloomington nuclear physicist Hans-Otto Meyer's work progressed on testing a fundam...
Lulin Observatory names asteroid Cloud Gate A new asteroid discovered by Lulin Observatory of National Central University in 2007 has been officially named Cloud Gate, after the leading modern dance troupe of Taiwan. The asteroid, numbered 200025, can be observed with Lulin's one-meter telesc...
Usually, we try to dodge April showers, but the one that arrives the morning of the 22nd may be worth seeking out. That would be the Lyrid meteor shower, which peaks around 7 a.m. Trouble is, a bright waxing moon interferes until well past midnight, leaving meteor fans only a couple of hours between moo...
Volcano spreads ash across western Guatemala An eruption at Guatemala's Santiaguito volcano has sent a plume of ash 8,300 metres above sea level, dusting parts of at least four provinces. Disaster response agency spokesman David De Leon says the volcano has calmed since Monday's big burst - thoug...
Cornfield's Tremble Is a Reminder for New York City For reasons seismologists don't really understand, this part of Albany County has become New York's seismic hot spot. Last year, scientists registered 21 quakes, most small and deep underground, so they went largely unnoticed. This year there h...
The 110 - 240 metre wide asteroid 2008 UN3 made a close pass (62.1 lunar distances, 0.1595 AU), travelling at 14.70 km/second, to the Earth-Moon system on the 29th April, 2010. See more The Lunar Distance (LD), the distanc...
A Russian Kosmos-3M rocket lifted off with a military satellite on Tuesday at 6:08 Moscow time (2:08 GMT) from the Plesetsk space center in northwest Russia. The launch of Kosmos 2463 marks the newest addition to Russia's expanding network of military reconnaissance satellites. Russian officia...
A catastrophic 'superflood' following the rupture of a massive glacier-dammed lake in Canada at the end of the Ice Age probably plunged the world into centuries of climatic chaos.
That single event was likely responsible for the most dramatic climate change of the last 10,000 years, accordin...
