Physics and Astronomy |Making note of the ‘unusual’ rocks he later found on the car’s hood, Garchinski chalked the incident up to vandalism and filed a police report. It wasn’t until two weeks later that his mother,...
Earth Sciences |"We knew there was ice below the surface at high latitudes of Mars, but we find that it extends far closer to the equator than you would think, based on Mars' climate today," said Shane...
Earth Sciences |The research team, including CSIRO scientist Dr Rob Hough, was led by Professor Phil Bland of Imperial College London. The remarkable "detective" work was detailed in a paper publish...
Earth Sciences |Meteorites are the only surviving physical record of the formation of our Solar System and by analysing them researchers can glean valuable information about the conditions that existed when the early...
Earth Sciences |"Glycine is an amino acid used by living organisms to make proteins, and this is the first time an amino acid has been found in a comet," said Dr. Jamie Elsila of NASA's Goddard Space F...
Physics and Astronomy |The joint NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens mission has revealed details of Titan's geologically young surface, showing few impact craters, and featuring mountain chains, dunes and even "lakes&qu...
Earth Sciences |The research, published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), was led by James Kennett, professor emeritus at UC Santa Barbara, and Douglas J. Kennett, first author,...

Earth Sciences |And he credits another WUSTL professor for the fact that the astronauts even collected the moon rocks in the first place.Randy L. Korotev, Ph.D., a research professor in the Department of Eart...
Physics and Astronomy |The team has found that radioactive nuclei found in the earliest meteorites, dating back billions of years, could have been delivered by a nearby dying giant star of six times the mass of the sun. ...
Physics and Astronomy |The team used numerical simulations to show that some comet-like objects residing in a disk outside the original orbit of the planets were scattered across the solar system and into the outer asteroid...
Physics and Astronomy |Yesterday (2 July 2009) the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) - the American mission which left Cape Canaveral on 18 June 2009 with the aim of preparing a manned return to the moon - transmitted the ...
Physics and Astronomy |"Our data suggest significant potential in nickel stable isotopes for identifying and quantifying methanogenesis on the early Earth," said Vyllinniskii Cameron, recent Penn State Ph.D. recip...
