Students at St Andrews University have helped discover a new planet bigger than Jupiter. PhD students Grant Miller and David Brown used Scotland's largest optical telescope, the 0.9m diameter James Gregory telescope at the campus observatory, to confirm the presence and measure the diameter of...
The Earth Observation Research Centre (EORC) of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has started to release image data of a high-resolution global precipitation distribution map in quasi real time (about four hours after observations) on the Internet. The map is composed by the EOR...
Black hole winds pull the plug on star formation Combining infrared observations from ESA's Herschel space observatory with new data from the Japanese/US Suzaku X-ray satellite, the astronomers detected the winds close to the central black hole as well as their global effect in pushing galactic...
