Most Earth-Like Exoplanet Started Out As A Gas GiantWashington DC (SPX) Jan 07, 2010 The most Earth-like planet yet found around another star may be the rocky remains of a Saturn-size gas giant, according to research presented at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Washington, DC. "The first planets detected outside our solar system 15 years ago turned out to be enormous gas giants in very tight orbits around their stars. We call them 'hot Jupiters,' and they were ... read more |

Washington DC (SPX) Jan 06, 2010In their quest to find solar systems analogous to ours, astronomers have determined how common our solar system is. They've concluded that about 15 percent of stars in our galaxy host systems of planets like our own, with several gas giant planets in the outer part of the solar system. "Now we know our place in the universe," said Ohio State University astronomer Scott Gaudi. "Solar system ... more

Los Alamos NM (SPX) Jan 06, 2010Pulsars are neutron stars that emit amazingly regular, short bursts of radio waves, so regular that they were originally thought to be signals from little green men! Though their discovery over 40 years ago was very widely reported and resulted in a Nobel Prize, the reasons how and why they send these bursts has remained a mystery; to quote Jean Eilek of NRAO, "we know why they pulse, but why do ... more |

Pasadena CA (JPL) Jan 06, 2010Spirit remains embedded at the location called "Troy" on the west side of Home Plate. Attempts to extricate Spirit have been complicated by the loss of functionality in the right-rear wheel and the lack of meaningful functionality with the right-front wheel. On Sol 2126 (Dec. 26, 2009), an extrication drive was commanded with all six wheels, although performance was not expected from the r ... more 
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jan 06, 2010In two new videos from NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft, bright flashes of light known as sun glints act as beacons signaling large bodies of water on Earth. These observations give scientists a way to pick out planets beyond our solar system (extrasolar planets) that are likely to have expanses of liquid, and so stand a better chance of having life. These sun glints are like sunshine glancin ... more 
Washington (AFP) Jan 4, 2010NASA's Kepler space telescope has discovered five new planets beyond the solar system, the US space agency said Monday, just 10 months after Kepler launched into space to find Earth-like planets. The discovery of the five exoplanets "contributes to our understanding of how planetary systems form and evolve from the gas and dust disks that give rise to both the stars and their planets," NASA' ... more |
