Robots are set to probe the narrow shafts of the Great Pyramid to try to solve one of the mysteries of the 4 500-year-old structure.
This week, Zahi Hawass, an Egyptologist, will inspect a robot designed to climb the two narrow shafts which might lead to an undiscovered chamber in the pyramid of [b...
Lunar swirls are strange markings on the Moon that resemble swirling cream in coffee. They seem to be curly-cues of pale moondust, twisting and turning across the lunar surface for dozens of miles. Each swirl is utterly flat and protected by a magnetic field.
One of the swirls, [url=http://www...

Title: SPITZER/IRAC-MIPS Survey of NGC2244: Protostellar Disk Survival in the Vicinity of Hot Stars Authors: Zoltan Balog, James Muzerolle, G. H. Rieke, Kate Y. L. Su, Eric T. Young We present the results from a survey of NGC 2244 from 3.6 to 24 micron with the Spitzer Space Telescope. The 24micron-...
Beta Canis Minoris (HD 58715) is a blue-white slowly pulsating Be star located about 162 light-years away in the constellation of Canis Minor. RA: 07h 27m 09.04174s, Dec: +08° 17' 21.5368"
IC 2157 (also Trumpler 4, Collinder 80 and OCl 465) is a magnitude +8.4 open cluster located over 6650 light-years away in the constellation Gemini. It's location is easily identified by being approximately one degree SE of M35; however it appears as a relatively poor concentration of stars with a p...
NGC 2158 (also OCL 468) is a magnitude +8.6 open cluster located over 11,000 light-years away in the constellation Gemini. The open cluster was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel using a 47.5 cm (18.7 inch) f/13 speculum reflecting telescope at Datchet, Berkshire, on the 1...
A superb object for small telescopes, the open star cluster Messier 35 in Gemini ranks as one of the most beautiful objects in the heavens. Even a modest scope reveals curved strands of stars twisting about a sparse central region, like bursting fireworks on a dark summer night. [url=http://www.on...
NGC 2175 (also known as OCL 476 or Cr 84) is a magnitude +6.8 open cluster embedded in a diffusion nebula, and located about 6,350 light years away in the constellation Orion. The surrounding nebula is catalogued as Sharpless 2-252. There is some equivocation in the use of the identifiers NGC 2174 and...
