Distribution of Gravitational Wave Sources Predicted
December 2, 2010 — A pair of neutron stars spiraling toward each other until they merge in a violent explosion should produce detectable gravitational waves. A new study predicts for the first time where such mergers ... > full story -
Physicists Create Supernova in a Jar
December 2, 2010 — A team of physicists has mimicked a supernova -- an explosion of a star -- in miniature. In a certain type of supernova, the detonation starts with a flame ball buried deep inside a white dwarf. The ... > full story -
Discovery Triples Number of Stars in Universe
December 1, 2010 — Astronomers have discovered that small, dim stars known as red dwarfs are much more prolific than previously thought -- so much so that the total number of stars in the universe is likely three times ... > full story -
Astronomers Use Moon in Effort to Corral Elusive Cosmic Particles
November 30, 2010 — Radio telescopes normally can't detect neutrinos, but astronomers aimed Very Large Array antennas at the Moon in an innovative effort to detect radio "flashes" caused by the interaction of cosmic ... > full story -
Physicists Make Atoms and Dark Matter Add Up
November 29, 2010 — Physicists have proposed a unified explanation for dark matter and the so-called baryon asymmetry -- the apparent imbalance of matter with positive baryon charge and antimatter with negative baryon ... > full story -
Thin Air: Oxygen Atmosphere Found on Saturn's Moon Rhea
November 28, 2010 — NASA's Cassini spacecraft has detected a very tenuous atmosphere known as an exosphere, infused with oxygen and carbon dioxide around Saturn's icy moon Rhea. This is the first time a spacecraft has ... > full story -
Shrouded Burst of Stars: Spitzer Reveals a Buried Explosion Sparked by a Galactic Train Wreck
November 28, 2010 — Astronomers using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have found a stunning burst of star formation that beams out as much infrared light as an entire galaxy. The collision of two spiral galaxies has ... > full story -
Astronomers Probe 'Sandbar' Between Islands of Galaxies
November 28, 2010 — Astronomers have caught sight of an unusual galaxy that has illuminated new details about a celestial "sandbar" connecting two massive islands of galaxies. The research was conducted in part with ... > full story -
Large Hadron Collider Experiments Bring New Insight Into Primordial Universe
November 26, 2010 — After less than three weeks of heavy-ion running, the three experiments studying lead ion collisions at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have already brought new insight into matter as it would have ... > full story -
Sewage Water Bacteria: 'Missing Link' in Early Evolution of Life on Earth?
November 26, 2010 — A common group of bacteria found in acid bogs and sewage treatment plants has provided scientists with evidence of a 'missing link' in one of the most important steps in the evolution of life on ... > full story
