The weight and grinding movement of glaciers has carved distinctive valleys and fjords into Earth's surface. Because Mars lacks similar landscapes, researchers believed ancient ice masses on the Red Planet must have been frozen firmly to the ground. New research suggests they were not stuck in place, but just moved very slowly.
Motion is part of the definition of a glacier. On Earth, meltw ... more |

Eruption of a solar filament produces a coronal mass ejection, which is a major driver of space weather. Understanding how filaments erupt is thus essential for space weather forecasting.
Both observations and simulations suggest that filament eruption is closely related to magnetic flux emergence. It is thought that eruption is triggered by magnetic reconnection between a filament and an ... more |

Compared to most other wavelengths, astronomy has a blind spot in the area of far-infrared radiation. A far-infrared space telescope can only utilize its full sensitivity with an actively cooled mirror below 4 Kelvin (-269 C). Such a telescope doesn't exist yet, which is why there has been little worldwide investment in the development of corresponding detectors.
In 2004, SRON decided to b ... more |
