ABC NewsRadio axes StarStuff program – why?
By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt
ABC NewsRadio, Australia’s only 24 hour continuous news service, has axed one of its longest running programs because it wants to divert funding elsewhere. The program? StarStuff, the only space, science, astronomy and cosmology show on Australian radio. What a shame!

Astronomers hit Einsteinian jackpot
By: William Atkins
An international team of scientists used the Hubble Space Telescope to find a never-before-seen double Einstein ring. The important discovery helps astronomers learn more about dark matter, dark energy, and curved space of the universe.

Building blocks of life found around star HR 4796A
By: William Atkins
A new U.S. study has found complex organic molecules, tholins, in the dust cloud around the star HR 4796A. The important conclusion of these researchers is that this discovery provides good evidence that living organisms are common throughout planetary systems.

Aliens could see Earth as haven for life
By: William Atkins
According to a study performed by U.S. and Spanish astronomers, alien astronomers could “hypothetically” identify Earth as a planet orbiting the Sun and observe our planet with clouds and oceans—just like we are trying to do with planets circling other stars.

Black hole inside “death star galaxy” fires on sister galaxy
By: William Atkins
According to NASA, a black hole at the center of a large galaxy is assaulting its smaller sister galaxy with a jet full of deadly radiation. The two galaxies, called 3C321, are in orbit about each other.

Hubble snaps brilliant image of young star cluster inside NGC 3603
By: William Atkins
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has produced an image of a star cluster that contains stars with different masses but similar ages. The stars have evolved differently, making it easy for scientists to learn more about the various life-stages of stars from one location.

Hubble loses another gyroscope but keeps on ticking
By: William Atkins
On September 1, 2007, gyroscope Gyro 2 failed on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). With a NASA repair mission scheduled for August 7, 2008, Hubble will have to operate until that time with only two gyros.

Lucky camera, Palomar telescope takes sharper space photos than Hubble
By: William Atkins
The Lucky Imaging System (“Lucky”), developed by U.S. and U.K. astronomers, uses a new adaptive optics system, which is able to take out much of the distortion from Earth’s atmosphere, in order to produce some of the best digital images from ground telescopes.

FOR THE FIRST TIME: Water found on planet outside of our solar system
By: William Atkins
Lowell Observatory astronomer states he has found water vapor in the atmosphere of a large gaseous planet. This discovery is the FIRST TIME that water has been found on any planet outside of the Earth’s solar system. And, water is thought to be fundamental to the existence of life.
