Satellite finds a star about to explode

On January 9, astronomers used a NASA X-ray satellite to spy on a star already well into its death throes, when another star in the same galaxy started to explode. The outburst was 100 billion times brighter than Earth's sun.

Less than 1 percent of the stars in the universe will die in a supernova
Chances of simultaneous supernovae so close to each other around 1 in 10,000

We know it was Martian ice because it has disappeared

Watch this time lapse photo swap and see how the Martian ice disappeared into the thin Martian air. Phoenix has now already proven and found (water ) ice on Mars.

Can rugged alien life forms exist on Mars?

Extremophiles, organisms that thrive in very inhospitable places compared to human life habitats have been discovered in many places in the oceans, in hots pools, arid places and more. Perhaps martian organisms may be hardy enough to survive the Martian weather.

That white substance was most likely Mars ice

Scientists say refering to the white materials found in a ditch that the Phoenix lander dug.

Looking for Planet or Plutoid X beyond Pluto

The definitions for planet and small planets have changed. But there is still thought to be a body smaller then our earth outside of Pluto that has disrupted the area. The search goes on for planet X.

say what?Pluto -It's not a planet, it's a Plutoid

PLUTOID: In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) announced that Pluto is not a planet. So what is it? After two years of careful deliberation, the IAU has an answer: Pluto is a plutoid. The IAU offers "the plutoid" as a serious new category of celestial body.]

Mysterious clouds 45 and 70 km above the surface of Venus,

Mysterious clouds 45 and 70 km above the surface of Venus, obscure us from seeing Venus' surface by using our telescopes. This nice article explains the structure of the atmosphere and much more detailed information along with photos.

Saturn's beautiful ring system

Galileo first spied the rings of this planet with his effective but first crude telescope. The Cassini spacecraft, orbiting Saturn, continues to provide breathtaking closeups of the this ringed planet. (if you did not already now, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus also have rings but not as extensive as Saturn's).

There might be ice on Mars

There might be ice that was exposed when soil was blown away as NASA's Phoenix spacecraft landed on Mars last Sunday, May 25. The possible ice appears in an image the robotic arm camera took underneath the lander, near a footpad.
