Now, new observations by an international team, including University of Vermont astrophysicist Joanna Rankin, make these bizarre stars even more puzzling.The…
The record-breaking balloon, carrying the Super Trans-Iron Galactic Element Recorder (Super-TIGER) experiment, has been afloat for 46 days and is on its third…
But how can the solar atmosphere get hotter, rather than colder, the farther you go from the Sun's surface? This mystery has puzzled solar astronomers for…
In order to better understand star formation, astronomers need telescopes that can observe at longer wavelengths, such as the submillimetre range, in which the…
The study, published today, 22 January, in IOP Publishing's journal Environmental Research Letters, assesses the impact of dissolving the naturally occurring…
University of Leicester planetary scientists have found new evidence suggesting auroras – similar to Earth's Aurora Borealis – occur on bodies outside our…
W50 is one of the largest supernova remnants ever viewed by the VLA. At nearly 700 light years across, it covers two degrees on the sky – that's the span of…
Scheduled to launch in April 2013, the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) will make use of high-resolution images, data and advanced computer models…
Now the team is exploring how those particles stack up as they reach the drop’s edge, and they discovered that different particles make smoother or rougher…
The planet Earth will die – if not before, then when the Sun collapses. This is going to happen in approximately seven billion years. In the universe however…
“Most of the Saturnian satellites – Titan's siblings – have thousands and thousands of craters on their surface. So far on Titan, of the 50 percent of the…
The iconic image traveled nearly 240,000 miles in digital form from the Next Generation Satellite Laser Ranging (NGSLR) station at NASA's Goddard Space Flight…
Most people are familiar with the concept of RADAR. Radio frequency (RF) waves travel through the atmosphere, reflect off of a target, and return to the RADAR…
“Completing Aft Optics System performance testing is significant because it means all of the telescope's mirror systems are ready for integration and testing,”…
Professor Oka's research team succeeded to develop the conceptual nuclear reactor design of high plutonium breeding by light water cooling for the first time…
