Astronomers have made use of ESO's Very Large Telescope to detect for the first time in the ultraviolet the carbon monoxide molecule in a galaxy located almost 11 billion light-years away, a feat that had remained elusive for 25 years. This detection allows them to obtain the most precise measurement of the cosmic temperature at such a remote epoch. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

New view of Earth’s inner workings depicts the planet as a living organism where events that happen deep inside can affect what happens at its surface, like the rub and slip of tectonic plates and the rumble of the occasional volcano. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Last night, the detectors of Planck's High Frequency Instrument reached their amazingly low operational temperature of -273.05°C, making them the coldest known objects in space. The spacecraft has also just entered its final orbit around the second Lagrange point of the Sun-Earth system, L2. picked by kakana 5 months ago

The Smart Memory Bra is a new invention that enhances your cleavage when it detects a rise in body temperature - meaning that when things hot up thanks to sexual attraction, breasts could get a surprise boost. picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago

Rising global temperatures may stall for the next decade, with some scientists now believing the natural response of ocean currents will temporarily offset the effects of climate change. German climate scientists say the temperature pause is the result of the slowing of the global currents that transport heat around the planet. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

For centuries, scientists have puzzled over why the toucan's bill is so remarkably large - but now one team thinks it might have an answer.

The oppressive heat that crept over parts of the western United States during the first few days of July 2007 took hold of the entire West during the week of July 4 through July 11. Deep red tones blanket every western state in this land surface temperature image. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Changing magnetic fields in the sun's core can produce small instabilities in the solar plasma. These instabilities might induce localised oscillations in temperature. These oscillations can produce changes in the core temperature in cycles that are either 100,000 or 41,000 years apart which is the time between ice ages. picked by 2manyusernames 3 years ago

In a bid to determine the melting temperature of ice in high atmospheric pressures, scientists have found a sharp increase in the melting curves, which opens up the possibility that water exists as a solid in the deep interior of planets such as Neptune, Uranus and Earth. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago
