Chandra Independently Determines Hubble Constant
Cambridge MA (SPX) Aug 09, 2006Cambridge MA (SPX) Aug 09, 2006 A critically important number that specifies the expansion rate of the Universe, the so-called Hubble constant, has been independently determined using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This new value matches recent measurements using other methods and extends their validity to greater distances, thus allowing astronomers to probe earlier epochs in the evolution of the Universe. NASA And Air Force Form Aeronautics Project 
Washington (UPI) Aug 08, 2006NASA and the U.S. Air Force have announced formation of an aeronautics research partnership. NASA Administrator Michael Griffin and Secretary of the Air Force Michael Wynne signed a Memorandum of Understanding Monday during a Pentagon ceremony.
