Researchers using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have discovered large amounts of simple organic gases and water vapour in a possible planet-forming region around an infant star, along with evidence that these molecules were created there. They've also found water in the same zone around two ot...
The United Launch Alliance Atlas V-411 rocket (AV-006) is to launch the classified NROL-28 (USA-xxx) sigint spacecraft for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office, from the Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The Atlas 5 rocket will fly with a four-meter fairing, one strap-on solid ro...
A massive chunk of land appears to have given way spectacularly sometime over the past winter from the south flank of Greenleaf Peak, three miles north of North Bonneville. No one knows for sure when it happened in the remote forest, but hikers documented the aftermath this past week. [url=http://s...

A Molniya-M Stage 3 Rocket Body that was launched in August 1992 from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome on a Molniya 1-84 mission, is predicted to re-enter the Earths atmosphere on the 2nd March 2008 @ 18:51 GMT ± 72 hours Predicted Re-entry Location 34.5° S, 256.3° E Inclination 61.77° Revolution Number 1...
A meteor streaked through the sky over the Pacific Northwest and apparently landed in Eastern Washington early today. A Horizon Airlines pilot reported seeing the meteorite hit earth with a flash and a burst of light near State Route 26 and the Lind-Hatton Road in the southeast corner of Adams Count...
The story of Indias faulty calendars. Fifty years ago, a new calendar system was introduced in India called the Indian National Calendar to correct the faulty traditional ones, but we hardly use it; most of us are even blissfully unaware of it. In the meantime, the calendars in use have become more a...
Physicists may have discovered the first "hybrid meson" at the KEK laboratory in Japan.
The meson, first predicted over 25 years ago, appears to contain a gluon in addition to the quark and antiquark that are usually found in mesons. The new meson is currently known as the Y(394...
A clock 1000 times more accurate than any of its predecessors has set another benchmark, and could even be used to create a more precise definition of how long a second is.
The new clock is a variant on the atomic clocks that appeared in the 1950s. Atomic clocks usually work by measuring the frequency...
The mystery behind the lights which appeared over Western Australia skies early this morning has been solved. The Perth Observatory says the lights were caused by a meteorite burning up in the atmosphere. Coloured lights could be seen in the sky from Bunbury to Geraldton around 5.30am. [url=http:...
A near earth asteroid (NEO) 8E4BDB1 is predicted to make a close flyby of the Earth; passing at a distance of only 0.00108 AU (about 0.6 LD), at about 9:04 UT on Sunday, 9 March. The NEO will reach magnitude 12.6 and be observable from Europe and the Americas. H=26.7 8E4BDB1 = 2008 EZ7 [url=http://www...
Title: UGC 7069: The largest ring galaxy Authors: Kajal K. Ghosh (1), Michela Mapelli (2) ((1)USRA/NSSTC/MSFC/NASA, (2)University of Zurich) We find that UGC 7069 is the largest ring galaxy known to date. In this paper, we present a multiwavelength study of this galaxy (combining radio, 2MASS, o...
