Washington DC (SPX) Jul 06, 2009With NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, astronomers now are getting their best look at those whirling stellar cinders known as pulsars. In two studies published in the July 2 edition of Science Express, international teams have analyzed gamma-rays from two dozen pulsars, including 16 discovered by Fermi. Fermi is the first spacecraft able to identify pulsars by their gamma-ray ... more 
Paris, France (ESA) Jul 06, 2009Last night, the detectors of Planck's High Frequency Instrument reached their amazingly low operational temperature of -273.05 degrees C, making them the coldest known objects in space. The spacecraft has also just entered its final orbit around the second Lagrange point of the Sun-Earth system, L2. Planck is equipped with a passive cooling system that brings its temperature down to about ... more  
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil (XNA) Jul 06, 2009Brazil plans to expand its Alcantara aerospace base in the north by building 12 more rocket launching pads at there, the government said Wednesday. Defense Minister Nelson Jobim described the project as one of "international importance." "we must not be naive. There are nations who are seeking to prevent Brazil from entering the exclusive circle of nations that launch rockets," Jobim said. ... more 
Manoa HI (SPX) Jul 06, 2009Two University of Hawaii at Manoa astronomers have found a binary star-disk system in which each star is surrounded by the kind of dust disk that is frequently the precursor of a planetary system. Doctoral student Rita Mann and Dr. Jonathan Williams used the Submillimeter Array on Mauna Kea, Hawaii to make the observations. A binary star system consists of two stars bound together by ... more |
