Martian surface morphology records a complex, changeable geologic history that suggests the planet may have been more hospitable to life during its early history. While the present atmosphere is predominantly CO2 and only about 1% of the density of Earth's atmosphere, but robot...
Title: The Nuclear Outflow in NGC 2110 Authors: D.J. Rosario (UCO/Lick), M. Whittle (UVa.), C.H. Nelson (Drake), A.S. Wilson (UMd.) We present a HST/STIS spectroscopic and optical/radio imaging study of the Seyfert NGC 2110 aiming to measure the dynamics and understand the nature of the nuclear...
The dwarf elliptical galaxy M110 (aka NGC 205) is a member of the local group of galaxies, and a satellite of the Andromeda spiral galaxy .
M110 is about 2.9 million light years away,and is only about 15,000 light-years acros...
NASA's Swift Mission Probes an Exotic Object: Kicked Black Hole or Mega Star? An international team of researchers analysing decades of observations from many facilities, including NASA's Swift satellite, has discovered an unusual source of light in a galaxy some 90 million light-years away. T...
Fermilab physicists discover "triple-scoop" baryon Three-quark particle contains one quark from each family. Physicists of the DZero experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have discovered a new heavy particle, the b (pronounced "zi...
Voyagers detect birth pains of stars Far beyond the orbit of Pluto, the two ageing Voyager spacecraft have detected ultraviolet light that confirms that a type of radiation known as Lyman-alpha emissions come from parts of the Milky Way where stars are born. It isn't a surprising find, but it's impo...
According to new research lightning produces a thermonuclear reaction, which generates a large amount of neutrons.
To produce a thermonuclear reaction, it is necessary, to have nuclei with a large quantity of neutrons available, for example, deuterium nuclei, and these nuclei should poss...
