Huzio of Saga prefecture and Koichi Nishiyama of Fukuoka prefecture, Kurume city, have discovered a Nova in M33. The magnitude 17.1 He/N-class Nova was discovered from an image taken by a 40 centimetre reflecting telescope. Position (2000): R.A. = 01h33m58s.64, Dec. = +30°57'34".6 Both di...
A tropical depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Karen early today in the open Atlantic Ocean, where it posed no immediate threat to land. At 11 a.m., Karen was centred about 1,515 miles east of the Windward Islands, with top sustained wind near 40 mph. [url=http://www.baltimoresun.com/n...

Gravity3D simulates the gravitational interaction between galaxies as they collide. It uses the gravity equation F=G*M1*M2/R^2 and assumes that orbiting stars have negligible mass compared to the parent stars/black holes. This software renders hundreds of thousands of stars in real-time. C...
A badly injured whale has become trapped in a large sea loch on the west side of Lewis. The adult northern bottled-nosed whale, an endangered species, was discovered in Loch Roag at about 0900 BST. It was beached for a short period during the low spring tide but later managed to get back into the water. T...
It is only a matter of time before astronomers find an Earth-sized planet orbiting a distant star. When they do, the first questions people will ask are: Is it habitable? And even more importantly, is there life present on it already? For clues to the answers, scientists are looking to their home plan...
A Social Network for Google Earth? Arizona State University's students have the opportunity to test a new product "that will be publicly launched later this year". The invitation page mentions that the product is developed by "a major Internet company" and there are hints t...

Gas-giant chaos will remain a mystery for now Something as trivial as a passing comet could have a huge effect on the future motion of a gas giant like Jupiter, but we cannot know for the time being, claims a physicist in the US. By performing computer simulations, Wayne Hayes from the University of Cal...
Title: The Spitzer c2d Survey of Large, Nearby, Interstellar Clouds: VII. Ophiuchus Observed with MIPS Authors: Deborah L. Padgett, Luisa M. Rebull, Karl R. Stapelfeldt, Nicholas L. Chapman, Shih-Ping Lai, Lee G. Mundy, Neal J. Evans II, Timothy Y. Brooke, Lucas A. Cieza, William J. Spiesman, Al...
Title: Pulsation of EE Cam Authors: M. Breger, S. M. Rucinski, P. Reegen EE Cam is a previously little studied Delta Scuti pulsator with amplitudes between those of the HADS (High-Amplitude Delta Scuti stars) group and the average low-amplitude pulsators. Since the size of stellar rotation dete...
Title: FSR584 - a new globular cluster in the Galaxy? Authors: E. Bica, C. Bonatto, S. Ortolani, B. Barbuy We investigate the nature of the recently catalogued star cluster candidate FSR584, which is projected in the direction of the molecular cloud W3 and may be the nearest globular cluster to the S...
This story just keeps getting stranger by the day. The available evidence strongly points to the Peru meteorite as being a deliberately and hastily scuttled military satellite. Let us take a closer look. Thousands of meteorites have fallen to Earth and people have not fallen ill. Why now? The early...
Fifty years after the launch of Sputnik, the world's first man-made satellite, the world's space industry is to gather at Hyderabad, in India, from 24 to 28 September, to find new ways to benefit humanity, and make money from space. The 2,000-odd delegates will discuss new manned and unmanned miss...
