A new analysis of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, the famous "echo" of the Big Bang, has revealed strange anomalies that may challenge the popular "inflation" model of the early universe - Astronomy
 
'Solar Ultrasound' Waves Discovered By Satellite
The Sun's atmosphere is filled with ultrasound-like waves that may help solve decades-old mysteries about the Sun and space weather, according to Southwest Research Institute scientists who found the waves in data from NASA's TRACE spacecraft - Spaceflight Now
 
Sun Storm Hits Comet
Eruptions of matter from the surface of the Sun can create chaos in a comet's tail, astronomers have found. They have shown that three different coronal mass ejections in 2002 caused wobbles in the tail of comet Ikeya-Zhang - Nature
 
ESA Astronaut Roberto Vittori To Fly To The ISS On Italian Soyuz Mission ENEID
Roberto Vittori will be the next ESA astronaut to fly to the International Space Station, on the 10-day Italian Soyuz mission, scheduled to be launched on 15 April next year from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan - ESA
 
Hubble Gets A Shot In The Arm
The smoldering controversy over the future of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has flared up again. On December 8th, after a six-month study, a blue-ribbon panel of experts recommended that NASA should do exactly what agency administrator Sean O'Keefe has said he won't do: return Space Shuttle astronauts to the orbiting observatory to make repairs and upgrades - Sky and Telescope
