Most Powerful Eruption In The Universe Discovered
Astronomers have found the most powerful eruption seen in the Universe using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. A supermassive black hole generated this eruption by growing at a remarkable rate. This discovery shows the enormous appetite of large black holes, and the profound impact they have on their surroundings - Chandra X-ray Observatory Center
 
All NASA Elements In Place For Space Shuttle Return To Flight
NASA marked a major milestone for the Space Shuttle's Return to Flight, as the redesigned External Tank rolled out today [Jan. 6] from the barge that carried it to the agency's Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Fla - NASA
 
Substructure Maps Show That Dark Matter Clumps In Galaxies
Hubble Space Telescope data, analyzed by a Yale astronomer using gravitational lensing techniques, has generated a spatial map demonstrating the clumped substructure of dark matter inside clusters of galaxies - Yale University
 
NASA Swift Mission Turns On And Sees A Blast Of Bursts
The NASA-led Swift mission opened its doors to a flurry of gamma ray burst action. Scientists were still calibrating the main instrument, the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT), when the first burst appeared on December 17 - NASA
 
The Distance To A Stellar Youngster
For the first time, astronomers in Mexico and the United States have determined the precise distance to the young star T Tauri. The newly measured parallax places the star about 460 light-years from Earth, in line with previous but less direct estimates - Astronomy

Culminating more than four years of processing data, NASA and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency have completed Earth's most extensive global topographic map - NASA/JPL
 
Hubble: Keep Both Options Open
Even though astronomers argue the Hubble Space Telescope requires a manned servicing mission (or something similar) to make necessary repairs, yesterday, NASA approved MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (MDA) of Brampton, Ontario, to pursue a design concept for a possible robotic mission - Astronomy
 
Astronomy Consortium Chooses Haleakala As Site For The Advanced Technology Solar Telescope
Today, the world's largest instrument for studying the sun and its complex magnetic field, the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) is one step closer to reality, and to a location on Haleakala, Maui - University of Hawaii Instutute for Astronomy
