A planetary scientist said Thursday that some gullies lining the sides of impact craters on Mars may have been caused by dry landslides, not running water. Gwendolyn D. Bart of the University of Arizona in Tucson said she thinks it might be premature to conclude that certain recent Martian gullies � made within the last million years on the sides of some craters � were carved by water.

    Astronomers Weigh 'Adopted' Twin Brown Dwarfs
    Washington DC (SPX) Mar 16, 2006
    Astronomers for the first time have precisely measured the mass of a pair of elusive brown dwarfs, and the data from the twin objects - not quite big enough to be stars, but too large to be planets � match well with theoretical predictions.

    Deriving The Shape Of The Galactic Stellar Disc
    Padua, Italy (SPX) Mar 17, 2006
    While analysing the complex structure of the Milky Way, an international team of astronomers from Italy and the United Kingdom has recently derived the shape of the Galactic outer stellar disc, and provided the strongest evidence that, besides being warped, it is at least 70% more extended than previously thought.

    Moonquakes
    Notre Dame IN (SPX) Mar 16, 2006
    NASA astronauts are going back to the moon and when they get there they may need quake-proof housing. That's the surprising conclusion of Clive R. Neal, associate professor of civil engineering and geological sciences at the University of Notre Dame after he and a team of 15 other planetary scientists reexamined Apollo data from the 1970s.

    Integral Looks At Earth To Seek Source Of Cosmic Radiation
    Madrid, Spain (SPX) Mar 17, 2006
    Cosmic space is filled with continuous, diffuse high-energy radiation. To find out how this energy is produced, the scientists behind ESA's Integral gamma-ray observatory have tried an unusual method: observing Earth from space.

    Integral Catches Stellar 'Corpses' By The Tail
    Utrecht, The Netherlands (SPX) Mar 17, 2006
    Tiny stellar 'corpses' have been caught blasting surprisingly powerful X-rays and gamma rays across our galaxy by ESA's gamma-ray observatory Integral. This discovery links these objects to the most magnetically active bodies in the Universe and forces scientists to reconsider just how dead such stellar corpses really are.
