Bonn, Germany (SPX) Dec 09, 2009An international research team led by Makoto Kishimoto from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn presents some of the first long-baseline interferometric measurements in the infrared towards nearby Active Galactic Nuclei with the Keck interferometric telescope in Hawaii. The team finds the measurements to indicate a ring-like emission from sublimating dust grains, and its ... more  
Paris, France (ESA) Dec 09, 2009The new Wide Field Camera 3 aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has taken the deepest image yet of the Universe in near-infrared light. The faintest and reddest objects in the image are likely the oldest galaxies ever identified, having formed between only 600-900 million years after the Big Bang. In 2004, Hubble created the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), the deepest visible-light ... more  
Washington DC (SPX) Dec 09, 2009When the LCROSS rocket stage slammed into Cabeus crater on October 9, creating an impact plume of material that had not seen sunlight for possibly billions of years, it conclusively proved that water ice exists in the dark recesses of the Moon's polar craters. The LCROSS findings delighted William Feldman, a senior scientist at the Tucson-based Planetary Science Institute. "What got me ... more |
