 New Haven CT (SPX) Mar 05, 2019 
For almost a decade, astronomers have tried to explain why so many pairs of planets outside our solar system have an odd configuration - their orbits seem to have been pushed apart by a powerful unknown mechanism. Yale researchers say they've found a possible answer, and it implies that the planets' poles are majorly tilted.
The finding could have a big impact on how researchers estimate t ... more |

 Baltimore MD (SPX) Mar 05, 2019 
A popular theme in the movies is that of an incoming asteroid that could extinguish life on the planet, and our heroes are launched into space to blow it up. But incoming asteroids may be harder to break than scientists previously thought, finds a Johns Hopkins study that used a new understanding of rock fracture and a new computer modeling method to simulate asteroid collisions.
The findi ... more |
