Small, rocky planets that could resemble the Earth or Mars may be forming around a star in the Pleiades star cluster. One of the stars in the cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters, is surrounded by an extraordinary number of hot dust particles that could be the "building blocks of planets". picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

A ragged company of stars is rushing through the chaotic core of our galaxy, travelling faster than can easily be explained. The new measurement of its path, made with the 10-metre Keck telescope in Hawaii, US, also deepens a mystery surrounding the Milky Way's central black hole. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

The giant galaxy Messier 87 has finally been sized up, but outer parts that should have been there are missing, scientists now find. The galaxy is smaller than expected. picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

The mathematics children are being taught these days isn't what it used to be. Now it's down to cluster problems, lattice methods and partial quotients methods. They're confusing, awkward and not at all good for children. picked by TheStep 2 years ago

A rare, timely conjunction of ground-based instrumentation and a dozen satellites has helped scientists better understand how electrons in space can turn into ‘killers’. ESA’s Cluster constellation has contributed crucially to the finding. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

The region where you choose to live reflects your personality, according to a study by Cambridge University, because people with similar characters tend to cluster together. picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago

The Hubble Space Telescope has provided evidence representing a major upset for conventional theories that propose a single period for star birth. The European Space Agency said the telescope, observing globular cluster NGC 2808, has shown three separate generations of stars formed early in the cluster's life. picked by AutumnLotus 3 years ago

A "most secret" War Office file released today, entitled "research into the use of anthrax and other poisons for biological warfare", shows that scientists at the Porton Down military science park in Wiltshire were testing the use of poisoned darts to be dropped in cluster bombs. picked by kakana 5 months ago

As white dwarfs form, they get a "kick" that propels them to speeds of thousands of miles per hour, new evidence from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows. Astronomers used Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys to look at the distribution of white dwarfs in the ancient globular cluster NGC 6397, a dense swarm of hundreds of thousands of stars. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

An international team of researchers led by a UC Riverside astronomer has completed the largest ever survey designed to find very distant clusters of galaxies. Named the Spitzer Adaptation of the Red-sequence Cluster Survey, "SpARCS" detects galaxy clusters using deep ground-based optical observations from the CTIO 4m and CFHT 3.6m telescopes, combined with Spitzer Space Telescope infrar... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago

By studying in great detail the 'ringing' of a planet-harbouring star, a team of astronomers using ESO's 3.6-m telescope have shown that it must have drifted away from the metal-rich Hyades cluster. This discovery has implications for theories of star and planet formation, and for the dynamics of our Milky Way. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

A 7-year-old Cleveland girl died Sunday from an E. Coli infection that local health officials say could be linked to a massive ground beef recall issued today by an Illinois-based company. Health officials did not identify the girl or provide details of the circumstances that led to her death. But Cleveland Health Director Matthew Carroll said the case might be the latest in a cluster of E. Coli... read full post picked by TraumaMamma 6 months ago
