Herschel telescope shows galactic star formation is slowingNoordwijk, Netherlands (AFP) May 6, 2010 The formation of new stars in galaxies like the Milky Way has declined five-fold in the last three billion years, initial findings of the European Space Agency's Herschel telescope showed Thursday. While scientists already knew that star formation was more prolific billions of years ago, the Herschel telescope has for the first time been able to start measuring the rate of decline, scientist Steve Eales said at the launch. Three billion years ago "galaxies were forming stars at ... five times t ... read more |

Into The DeepMoffett Field CA (SPX) Apr 29, 2010 There's a glut of research on climate change. Seemingly every day some new study comes out demonstrating the latest scientific understanding of changes to the Earth's systems. But the foundation of much research of this type is measurement, and there are, of course, severe limits to what can be measured. Improvements to our measurement abilities goes a long way towards improving and expanding climate change research. Which is why a new technology that fuels ocean robot exploration has been getting ... read more |
