The SECCHI team has obtained images of the density enhancements whose prior existence was known only from point measurements by in situ spacecraft. The team’s…
Observing the universe in the infrared light portion of the spectrum is important because many objects scientists want to observe in space are far too cold to…
It is one of the first cases that scientists have found where light can directly produce such a physical transition without changing the material’s temperature.
MIRI is one of four sophisticated instruments onboard which will study the early universe and properties of materials forming around new born stars in…
The results are published in the 7 December issue of the journal Science. Data from Hinode, a Japanese (JAXA) mission with ESA participation, shows that…
Depending upon their proximity to a host star, giant Jupiter-like planets have atmospheres which are either stable and thin, or unstable and rapidly expanding….
The lunar poles are very interesting for future science and exploration of the Moon mainly because of their exposure to sunlight. They display areas of…
The motor delivered a mean thrust of about 190 tonnes for a nominal duration of 111 seconds. This is roughly one third of the thrust delivered by each of…
The potential range of applications is huge, including homeland security, medical diagnostics such as breadth analysis, pollution monitoring, and environmental…
Professor Robert Cernik and colleagues from The School of Materials have built a prototype colour 3D X-ray system that allows material at each point of an…
An early present for astronomers, the cloud suggests that hot gas from many star-forming regions leaks into the interstellar medium. The Orion nebula is the…
The HRSC took these pictures on 25 June 2006 in orbit 3155, with a ground resolution of approximately 16 m/pixel. Noctis Labyrinthus lies at approximately 6.5°…
The automatic deployment of these metallic blue 'wings' and the activation of the on-board navigation systems will transform the 20-tonne Automated Transfer…
The Venus Express space mission was launched in November 2005 and entered in planetary orbit in April 2006. Since then it has been regularly sending data and…
The systems are around the young stars UX Tau A and LkCa 15, located in the Taurus star formation region just 450 light years away. Using a telescope that…
“We are seeing this object in the early stages of stellar birth,” said U. of I. astronomy professor Leslie Looney, the lead author of a paper accepted for…
