Super Supernova: White Dwarf Star System Exceeds Mass Limit An international team led by Yale University has, for the first time, measured the mass of a type of supernova thought to belong to a unique subclass and confirmed that it surpasses what was believed to be an upper mass limit. Their findings...
Gliese 710 is an orange dwarf star (K7 spectral class) in the constellation Serpens Cauda, with visual magnitude 9.66 and a mass of 0.4-0.6 solar masses. It is about 63.0 light years from Earth, but is notable because its proper motion, distance, and radial velocity[3] indicate that it will approa...

Van Horn spaceport gets NASA backing Drive 25 miles north of here along Texas Highway 54. In an hour, seven vehicles cover the route; in a day, 180. The road, a quiet and isolated corridor along the Chihuahuan Desert, divides the Sierra Diablo and Delaware mountain ranges. On this remote site lies a bi...
