| Astronomy: World's first interferometric image at 500 GHz with ALMA Band 8 receivers Posted: 02 Sep 2013 07:15 AM PDT ALMA opens another window to the universe in the 500 GHz frequency band. Astronomers successfully synthesized the distribution of atomic carbon around a planetary nebula NGC 6302 in test observations with the ALMA Band 8 receiver. |
| Van Allen Probes mark first anniversary with new discoveries and new investigations Posted: 02 Sep 2013 07:12 AM PDT One year after their launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Aug. 30, 2012, NASA's twin Van Allen Probes have already fundamentally changed how we understand the Van Allen radiation belts above our planet. Data from the probes have already led to several significant discoveries, some made just days after the special twin spacecraft soared into orbit. The mission has answered one long-standing question about the nature and behavior of the belts, and revealed that the outer belt can split into two separate belts. |
| NuSTAR delivers the X-ray goods Posted: 02 Sep 2013 07:06 AM PDT NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, is giving the wider astronomical community a first look at its unique X-ray images of the cosmos. The first batch of data from the black-hole hunting telescope was made publicly available Aug. 29, via NASA's High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center, or HEASARC. |
