New Analysis of Viking Mission Results Indicates Presence of Life on Mars
Pullman WA (SPX) Jan 10, 2007Dirk Schulze-Makuch of Washington State University and Joop Houtkooper of Justus-Liebig-University, Giessen, Germany, argue that even as new missions to Mars seek evidence that the planet might once have supported life, we already have data showing that life exists there now-data from experiments done by the Viking Mars landers in the late 1970s. CU-Boulder Proposal Selected As Finalist For Mission To Probe Past Climate Of Mars 
Boulder CO (SPX) Jan 10, 2007NASA has selected a team led by the University of Colorado at Boulder as one of two finalists for an orbiting space mission slated to launch in 2011 to probe the past climate of Mars, including its potential for harboring life over the eons. NASA Awaits New FIRST Robotics Season

New Evidence Of Extrasolar Asteroid Belt
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 10, 2007Providing the best evidence yet for an asteroid belt beyond the solar system, new measurements pinpoint the location of such a disk of warm dust surrounding the star Zeta Leporis. As the January 6, 2007 issue of Science News reports, this dust lies about the same distance from Zeta Leporis as the solar system's asteroid belt lies from the sun. Triple Interactions Of Supermassive Black Holes To Be Common In Early Universe 
Evanston IL (SPX) Jan 09, 2007New cosmological computer simulations produced by a team of astronomers from Northwestern University, Harvard University and the University of Michigan show for the first time that supermassive black holes (SMBHs), which exist at the centers of nearly all galaxies, often come together during triple galaxy interactions. New Stars Shed Light On The Past 
Baltimore MD (SPX) Jan 09, 2007A new image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows N90, one of the star-forming regions in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The rich populations of infant stars found here enable astronomers to examine star forming processes in an environment that is very different from that in our own Milky Way. |
