Asteroid Found In Gravitational Dead ZoneWashington DC (SPX) Aug 13, 2010 There are places in space where the gravitational tug between a planet and the Sun balance out, allowing other smaller bodies to remain stable. These places are called Lagrangian points. So-called Trojan asteroids have been found in some of these stable spots near Jupiter and Neptune. Trojans share their planet's orbit and help astronomers understand how the planets formed and how the solar system evolved. Now Scott Sheppard at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism and Cha ... read more |

Washington (AFP) Aug 11, 2010Astronauts aboard the International Space Station were preparing Wednesday to conduct a second spacewalk to repair a failed cooling system on the orbiter, NASA said. Once outside the station, spacewalkers Doug Wheelock and Tracy Caldwell Dyson will work towards unhooking and removing the busted module that has caused the cooling problem before they can attach a replacement. "If all goes ... more  
London (UPI) Aug 10, 2010 British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking says the human race must expand into outer space in the coming century or face possible extinction.

Spirit In Sweep And Beep ModePasadena CA (JPL) Aug 09, 2010 Spirit remains silent at her location called "Troy" on the west side of Home Plate. No communication has been received from the rover since Sol 2210 (March 22, 2010). It is likely that Spirit has experienced a low-power fault and has turned off all sub-systems, including communication and gone into a deep sleep, trying to recharge her batteries. There is the additional risk that the rover may trip a mission clock fault. If that happens, the rover would lose track of time and remain asleep un ... read more |
