Newly Discovered Planet Could Hold WaterParis, France (ESA) Mar 19, 2010 The Corot satellite strikes again with another fascinating planet discovery. This time, the newly discovered gas giant planet may have an interior that closely resembles those of Jupiter and Saturn in our own Solar System. Very few planets are temperate enough to allow the presence of liquid water, but the newly discovered Corot-9b is one of them.

Interrogating The AsteroidGreenbelt MD (SPX) Mar 17, 2010 Meet asteroid 1999 RQ36, a chunk of rock and dust about 1,900 feet in diameter that could tell us how the solar system was born, and perhaps, shed light on how life began. It also might hit us someday. "This asteroid is a time capsule from before the birth of our solar system," said Bill Cutlip of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., one of the leaders of Goddard's effort to propose a mission called OSIRIS-REx that will return a sample from RQ36. If selected, Goddard will pr ... read more |
