Using the Spitzer Space Telescope in December 2004, the astronomers Beverly Smith and Mark Giroux of East Tennessee State University imaged interacting galaxies Arp 65 in Andromeda and Arp 107 in Leo Minor at two different wavelengths: 3.6 (blue) and 8 (red) microns. At 3.6 mi...

A magnitude 14.6 Supernova 2005cn was discovered on the 19th June 2005 by the Brazilian Supernovae Search (BRASS). It was found in the galaxy NGC 5061[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/blobrana/news...

A Soyuz-U Rocket Body launched on 16 June 2005 from the Baikonour Cosmodrome, on a ISS resupply mission, will re-enter the Earths atmosphere on 19 June 2005 @ 19:10 UTC ± 13 hours Ground track plot...

A Molniya-M Stage 3 Rocket Body launched on 26 December 1986 from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, for the Molniya 1-70 mission will re-enter the Earths atmosphere on 22 June 2005 @ 01:26 UTC ± 38 hours. G...

A Delta II Stage 2 Rocket Body launched on 12 January 2005 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station SLC-17B for the Deep Impact mission, will re-enter the Earths atmosphere on 20 June 2005 @ 00:27 UTC ± 19 hours[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/blobrana/news/2851...

The new comet C/2005 K2 LINEAR was discovered on May 19th 2005 and is brightening very rapidly. Its currently at magnitude 12, so still needs a 8” telescope to see it.. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/bl...

Measurements of the intensity of light at different wavelengths can be made more accurately now, thanks to a new, simple method for correcting common instrument errors. The new method, developed by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), will benefi...

An international team of nuclear physicists has determined that particles called strange quarks do, indeed, contribute to the ordinary properties of the proton. Quarks are subatomic particles that form the building blocks of atoms. How quarks assemble into protons and neutrons, and what h...

During this month, the Russian space agency will launch three satellites, and supplies for the international space station (ISS). A Progress M-53 spacecraft will be launched with 2.5 tonnes of supplies on a Soyuz-U rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, on June 17. A militar...

Data from the Sloan Sky Survey show that quasars and galaxy associations are random. There's no solid evidence for any non-AGN process behind QSO phenomena, just random statistical coincidences. This is another, and hopefully final, nail in the coffin for the Steady State theory. Cr...
