Pan-STARRS begins search for killer asteroids
The first Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System telescope, Pan-STARRS 1, is now fully operational, tracking the sky for "killer" asteroids and comets.
An impact on Jupiter that was captured on camera by amateur astronomers Anthony Wesley and Christopher Go was apparently nothing more than a giant meteor, according to the latest Hubble Space Telescope observations of the gas giant.
Professor Richard Harrison of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratories talks to Astronomy Now about the origin of the solar wind, and how the latest solar mission, the Solar Dynamics Observatory, will teach us more about solar storms that threaten Earth.
The idea of a Universe dominated by dark energy and dark matter has been thrown into jeopardy by a reassessment of observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation.
New findings on Saturn’s hydrocarbon-shrouded moon Titan reveal anomalies that although are likely explained by chemical processes, still leave the room open for the possibility of life.
Five days before it will fall into the Australian outback, Japan's returning Hayabusa asteroid mission finished targeting the landing site Tuesday in a final planned ion engine burn.
Analysis of all 79 star systems known to have transiting exoplanets has revealed that only two could definitely not support life as we know it, according to astronomers at the Open University whose work will appear in an upcoming edition of Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
August, 15, 1977: a pulse of radio waves at 1,420MHz radiates down from space to be received by the Big Ear radio telescope in Ohio for 72 seconds. Then: nothing. Sporadic searches of the area since have failed to find this interstellar radio chorus. It’s origins remain a mystery.
Analysis of data collected by the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit in 2005 has confirmed the discovery of carbonates in an outcrop at the base of the Columbia Hills with Gusev Crater.
Details in the structure of a distant quasar revealed
Using the German and Netherlands LOFAR telescope stations, astronomers have for the first time produced a high resolution image of a distant quasar at metre radio wavelengths.
By comparing two Hubble images taken ten years apart, astronomers have measured the tiny motions of hundreds of young stars in a massive star cluster, finding that they move in quite an unexpected way.
Computers catching humans in galaxy classifications
An artificial neural net that mimics the network of neurons in the human brain has proven itself 90 percent as accurate as users of Galaxy Zoo when it comes to classifying galaxies, according to new research from scientists at the University of Cambridge and University College London.
