Spirit Sees Dustier Sky
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jul 30, 2007As of Thursday, July 26, NASA rovers Spirit and Opportunity are both enduring levels of reduced power supply. The rovers can survive at these levels, but NASA continues to sharply restrict their activities. Spirit is under the dustiest sky ever seen at that location. Sunlight at Spirit's location is more obscured than current conditions for Opportunity, though not as severe as what Opportunity f ... more Exploring The Comets Of Sol 
Cameron Park CA (SPX) Jul 30, 2007Since 1986, four different comets -- Halley, Borrelly, Wild 2 and Tempel 1 -- have been examined in impressive detail by a wide variety of American, European and Russian spacecraft, including one that has actually returned a small dust sample to Earth and another that crashed a large piggyback spacecraft into a comet's nucleus to try and reveal some of its subsurface structure. And in 2014, the ... more Killer Electrons In Space Are Now Less Mysterious 
Paris, France (ESA) Jul 30, 2007A 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. 'Killer' electrons are highly energetic, negatively charged particles found in near-Earth space. They can critically, and even permanently, damage satellites ... more Scaled Composties Explosion Toll Rises To Three 
Los Angeles (AFP) Jul 27, 2007A rocket exploded Thursday at an airport in the California desert, killing two people and seriously injuring four others, firefighters said CNN television reported that a third person had died but authorities would not immediately confirm the report.

New Delhi (AFP) July 28, 2007India's top nuclear scientist on Saturday hailed a nuclear pact with the United States as "a very good deal" that should satisfy both countries. The long-delayed accord announced on Friday in Washington allows US exports of civilian nuclear fuel and technology to India for the first time in 30 years -- a move intended to reverse sanctions imposed on the Asian giant for its nuclear tests. ... more Fossils Older Than Dinosaurs Reveal Pattern Of Early Animal Evolution On Earth 
Chicago IL (SPX) Jul 29, 2007The abundant diversity of characteristics within species likely helped fuel the proliferation and evolution of an odd-looking creature that emerged from an unprecedented explosion of life on Earth more than 500 million years ago. University of Chicago paleontologist Mark Webster reports this finding in the July 27 issue of the journal Science. "From an evolutionary perspective, the more variable ... more Cluster Reveals How The Sun Shakes Magnetic Field Of Earth 
Paris, France (ESA) Jul 29, 2007Space is a hostile region for both astronauts and satellites. One constituent of this hazardous environment around the Earth are very energetic electrons, which are able to perturb or permanently damage satellites. Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) waves, which travel along the Earth's magnetic field lines, are a prime candidate for generating these killer electrons, but the source of these waves remain ... more New Clues To Ozone Depletion 
London UK (SPX) Jul 29, 2007Large quantities of ozone-depleting chemicals have been discovered in the Antarctic atmosphere by researchers from the University of Leeds, the University of East Anglia, and the British Antarctic Survey. The team of atmospheric chemists carried out an 18-month study of the make-up of the lowest part of the earth's atmosphere on the Brunt Ice Shelf, about 20 km from the Weddell Sea. They found ... more Climate Change Sucks Water From China's Two Longest Rivers 
Beijing (Xinhua) Jul 27, 2007Climate change linked to the contraction of wetlands at the source of China's two longest rivers, the Yangtze and the Yellow River, has reduced the volume of water flowing in the rivers, said Chinese scientists. Scientists from the Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) studied changes over the past 40 years to the wetlands on the cold Qinghai-T ... more
