• Unsettled Youth: Spitzer Observes A Chaotic Planetary System

  
  Science nature & education - science-nature.marc8.com — Authority: 153
  Before our planets found their way to the stable orbits they circle in today, they wiggled and jostled about like unsettled children. Now, NASAs Spitzer Space Telescope has found a young star with evidence for the same kind of orbital hyperactivity. Young planets circling the star are thought to be disturbing smaller ...

• Antimatter from lightning flashes the Fermi space telescope

  
  symmetry breaking — Authority: 550
  Violent and massive events in our universe create brilliant gamma-ray displays that will keep the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope busy for a decade. But recently, Fermi has turned its eyes back to Earth, where it can see evidence of Terrestrial Gamma Flashes, or TGFs, which are believed to originate at the tops of ...

  …at the University of Helsinki earlier this week when people had a chance to visit the 175 years old observatory. You foreigners might now think that Finnish astronomy is very primitive but observations are no longer done from this site. There is too much light pollution to allow scientific work. What used to be at ...

• Millisecond pulsar timing could find gravitational waves

  
  symmetry breaking — Authority: 550
  The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has found a new set of millisecond pulsars, which are typically very hard to find with other observatories such as radio-telescopes. Detailed gamma-ray observations of these objects could even provide evidence for gravitational waves.

• Fermi telescope detects gamma rays from starburst galaxies

  
  symmetry breaking — Authority: 550
  “Starburst” galaxies--sites of high numbers of star births and subsequent star deaths--have revealed themselves in gamma rays for the first time to the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Combined with data from the VERITAS and HESS observatories, scientists are piecing together clues about the inner workings of some ...

  Nearby galaxies undergoing a furious pace of star formation also emit lots of gamma rays, say astronomers using NASAs Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Two so-called "starburst" galaxies, plus a satellite of our own Milky Way galaxy, represent a new category of gamma-ray-emitting objects detected both by Fermi and ...
