TerraSAR-X Image Of The Month: The Nazca Lines In Peru
Bonn, Germany (SPX) Jul 06, 2010
From the ground, the famous Nazca lines in Peru don't look like much. It is only when you look at them from a height that the mysterious drawings on the stony desert floor come to life. The German Aerospace Center, TerraSAR-X radar satellite has seen them from space, providing a new view of this 2000-year-old World Heritage Site. The geoglyphs show up as dark grooves in the ground in the v ... more

Planck All-Sky Image Depicts Galactic Mist Over The Cosmic Background
Paris, France (ESA) Jul 06, 2010
An all-sky image from Planck's recently completed first survey highlights the two major emission sources in the microwave sky: the cosmic background and the Milky Way. The relic radiation coming from the very early Universe is, to a large extent, masked by intervening astronomical sources, in particular by our own Galaxy's diffuse emission. Thanks to Planck's nine frequency channels, and t ... more

Saturn System Moves Oxygen From Enceladus To Titan
Washington DC (SPX) Jul 05, 2010
Complex interactions between Saturn and its satellites have led scientists using NASA's Cassini spacecraft to a comprehensive model that could explain how oxygen may end up on the surface of Saturn's icy moon Titan. The presence of these oxygen atoms could potentially provide the basis for pre-biological chemistry. The interactions are captured in two papers, one led by John Cooper and another led by Edward Sittler, published in the journal Planetary and Space Science in late 2009. Cooper and Sitt ... read more
