Washington (AFP) June 9, 2009A pair of pioneering astronomers revealed Tuesday how they used a supercomputer to show that a nearby black hole is vastly more massive than scientists ever imagined. The black hole at the heart of the relatively close Messier 87 Galaxy (M87) weighs in at 6.4 billion times the mass of our Sun, according to US astrophysicist Karl Gebhardt and Germany's Jens Thomas, who say it's the largest ... more  
Paris, France (SPX) Jun 09, 2009Euroconsult has announced that an estimated 1,185 satellites will be built and launched for the period 2009-2018, an increase of about 50% compared to the previous decade (1999-2008). Market revenues generated from the manufacturing and launch of these satellites are forecast to grow by the same rate, reaching $178 billion for the period 2009-2018 according to Euroconsult's just-released " ... more 
Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 09, 2009Astronomers Karl Gebhardt (The University of Texas at Austin) and Jens Thomas (Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics) have used new computer modeling techniques to discover that the black hole at the heart of M87, one the largest nearby giant galaxies, is two to three times more massive than previously thought. Weighing in at 6.4 billion times the Sun's mass, it is the most ... more  
Minnetonka MN (SPX) Jun 09, 2009When NASA Kennedy Space Centers fire safety experts decided to replace the fire suppression system in the giant twin crawler transporters, they turned to the next generation firefighting system for enclosed spaces � a clean, compact, cost effective, safe and simple system called Stat-X. Designed and manufactured by Fireaway LLC, a Minnesota-based company that specializes in suppressing fires ... more |

Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 09, 2009Gamma-ray bursts, with their ability to pierce through gas and dust to shine brightly across the universe, are revealing areas of intense star formation and stellar death where astronomers have been unable to look - the dusty corners of otherwise dust-free galaxies. The conclusion comes from a survey of "dark" gamma-ray bursts - bright in gamma- and X-ray emissions, but with little or no ... more  
Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 09, 2009Ohio State University researchers have found a way to measure distances to objects three times farther away in outer space than previously possible, by extending a common measurement technique. They discovered that a rare type of giant star, often overlooked by astronomers, could make an excellent signpost for distances up to 300 million light-years - and beyond. Along the way, they also ... more 
Troy NY (SPX) Jun 09, 2009Lunar eclipses are well-documented throughout human history. The rare and breathtaking phenomena, which occur when the moon passes into the Earth's shadow and seemingly changes shape, color, or disappears from the night sky completely, caught the attention of poets, farmers, leaders, and scientists alike. Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new method for using ... more 
Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 09, 2009Radio astronomers have directly measured the distance to a faraway galaxy, providing a valuable "yardstick" for calibrating large astronomical distances and demonstrating a vital method that could help determine the elusive nature of the mysterious Dark Energy that pervades the Universe. "We measured a direct, geometric distance to the galaxy, independent of the complications and ... more |
