Professor launches a rocket to investigate the northern lights Airplanes that fly over the northern polar region can risk losing radio contact for several hours when the northern lights are at their most active in the skies. In the near future a professor from the University of Oslo will launch a Nor...
APEX reveals glowing stellar nurseries Illustrating the power of submillimetre-wavelength astronomy, an APEX image reveals how an expanding bubble of ionised gas about ten light-years across is causing the surrounding material to collapse into dense clumps that are the birthplaces of new sta...
Numerous sightings of a bright object that appeared in the night sky above Florence have lead to many telephone calls to local police officers. The residents alerted the authorities about a bright yellow coloured meteor that was thought to have burned up in the atmosphere. [url=http://www....
