Frozen water on asteroids may be more common than previously thought, according to new research that will help to support the idea they might have carried the key ingredient for life to the Earth. Water ice and organic molecules that help to form the basis of life have been discovered on a second aster...

Title: Asteroseismic analysis of Kepler target KIC 2837475 Author: Wuming Yang, Zhijia Tian, Shaolan Bi, Zhishuai Ge, Yaqian Wu, Jinghua Zhang The ratios r01 and r10 of small to large separations of KIC 2837475 primarily exhibit an increase behaviour in the observed frequency range. The cal...

Title: 3He-rich SEP Events Observed by STEREO-A Authors: R. Bucik, U. Mall, A. Korth, G. M. Mason, R. Gomez-Herrero Using the SIT (Suprathermal Ion Telescope) instrument on STEREO-A we have examined the abundance of the rare isotope 3He during the rising activity phase of solar cycle 24 between Ja...

E. Beshore (MT Lemmon Survey) announced the discovery of a new comet on May 06, 2008. The cometary nature of the magnitude 14 object was confirmed by other observers. The preliminary orbital elements of comet C/2008 J2 (Beshore) indicate a perihelion passage on October 07, 2008, at a distance of...

The 18 - 41 metre wide asteroid 2007 RO17 will make a close pass (42.6 LD, 0.1096 AU) travelling at 8.68 km/second, to the Earth-Moon system on the 12th August 2015 @ 19:02 UT ±12:13. See more The Lunar Distance (LD), the distance between Earth and the Moon, equals 384,401 km, (or 0.00256 AU).

Astronomers came within minutes of alerting the world to a potential asteroid strike last month. On 13 January, 2004, a 30m object, 2004 AS1, was predicted to have a one-in-four chance of hitting the planet within 36 hours. It could have caused local devastation and the researchers contemplated a c...
