The white dwarf acting as a magnifying glass in space

Astronomers have observed a white dwarf, a dense, compact, burnt-out star acting as a magnifying glass for another star that it is orbiting. Nature reports that physicists Ethan Kruse and Eric Agol from the University of Washington in Seattle, noticed an increase of 0.1 per cent in the larger star’s brightness every 88 days that lasted for 5 hours.  Using data from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft they observed that the star’s gravitational effect...

Cassini satellite discovers evidence of ocean on Saturn’s moon Enceladus

SCIENTISTS have uncovered a vast ocean beneath the icy surface of Saturn’s little moon Enceladus. Italian and American researchers made the discovery using Cassini, a NASA-European spacecraft still exploring Saturn and its rings 17 years after its launch from Cape Canaveral. This new ocean of liquid water  as big as or even bigger than North America’s Lake Superior is centred at the south pole of Enceladus and could encompass much if...

A telescope bigger than a galaxy!!

A friend of mine advised me of this story this morning and really is pretty awesome. Astronomers have figured out how to use the gravity of distant galaxies to bend light and magnify images, forming gigantic telescopes that see deeper into the cosmos than ever before. More than 400 years ago, Galileo turned a primitive spyglass toward the sky, and in just a few nights learned more about the unseen heavens than all of the scientists and philosophers...

Space port to open in Sweden

For the first time, traveling to space looks like it's becoming more of a reality for the daily inhabitants of planet earth.   Kurina in Swedish Lapland will be the future home of a 'world-class' spaceport that will offer zero-g and northern lights flights, centrifuge training and more.   The advertisement for the planned space port is pretty cool and I can't help thinking of the movie "Total Recall" for some reason.           To...
