New, Improved Data from the Milky Way Galaxy

Hot gas, dust and magnetic fields mingle in a colorful swirl in this new map of our Milky Way galaxy. The image is part of a new and improved data set from Planck, a European Space Agency mission in which NASA played a key role.

Three of Jupiter's Largest Moons Parade Across its Banded Face

These new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope images capture a rare occurrence as three of Jupiter's largest moons parading across the giant gas planet's banded face. Hubble took a string of images of the event which show the three satellites -- Europa, Callisto and Io -- in action.

Star Formation May Be More Recent Than Previously Predicted

The latest data release from the ESA satellite Planck consortium – just published in Astronomy and Astrophysics – reveals a surprise: star formation in the Universe may be more recent than previously indicated by the analysis of Planck’s predecessor, the NASA WMAP satellite. The observation was made possible by the new maps of Planck’s low-‐frequency instrument (LFI), produced by the Trieste Data Processing Centre run by INAF-‐OATS in collaboration with the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) and the LFI Consortium.

New Possibilities for Manipulating Electrons on Tips of Graphitic Nanocones

One of the ways of improving electrons manipulation is though better control over one of their inner characteristics, called spin. This approach is the object of an entire field of study, known as spintronics. Now, Richard Pincak from the Slovak Academy of Sciences and colleagues have just uncovered new possibilities for manipulating the electrons on the tips of graphitic nanocones.

Planck Data Confirms Theory of Quantum Origin of Structure in the Universe

Viatcheslav Mukhanov, cosmologist at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich, models the first instants after the creation of our Universe. Data from the Planck telescope have now confirmed beyond any reasonable doubt his theory of the quantum origin of structure in the Universe.

Turbulence May Influence Evolution of the Ophiuchus Molecular Cloud

Molecular cores are dense condensations within molecular clouds, in which stars are born. Guoyin Zhang et al. obtained 350 ìm dust continuum data using the SHARC-II camera at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) telescope. A 350 ìm map covering 0.25 deg2 of the Ophiuchus molecular cloud was created by mosaicing 56 separate scans.

Boise State Professor Explores Distant Galaxies for Greater Understanding of Planet Formation

As Pluto learned in 2006, planetary status — like fame of any kind — can be painfully fleeting. Especially in today’s world, where new planets are being discovered at an incredible rate, and the very definition of a planet is in flux.
