(PhysOrg.com) -- New observations solve longstanding mystery of tipped rotation. In addition to shedding light on how binary stars form, the explanation knocks down a possible challenge to Einstein's theory of relativity. http://www.physorg.com/news172409177.html Space & Earth Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:26:54 EST news172409177 Astronomers are announcing today that a sequence of images collected with the Smithsonian's Submillimeter Array (SMA) clearly reveals the presence of a rotating molecular disk orbiting the young binary star system V4046 Sagittarii. The SMA images provide an unusually vivid snapshot of the process of formation of giant planets, comets, and Pluto-like bodies. The results also confirm that such objects may just as easily form around double stars as around single stars like our Sun. http://www.physorg.com/news163865079.html Space & Earth Wed, 10 Jun 2009 19:30:03 EST news163865079 The large and beautiful image displays the full variety of this impressive skyscape, spattered with clusters of young stars, large nebulae of dust and gas, dust pillars, globules, and adorned by one of the Universe's most impressive binary stars. It was produced by combining exposures through six different filters from the Wide Field Imager (WFI), attached to the 2.2 m ESO/MPG telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory, in Chile. http://www.physorg.com/news153673752.html Space & Earth Thu, 12 Feb 2009 15:09:49 EST news153673752 Researchers have discovered evidence that blue stragglers in globular clusters, whose existence has long puzzled astronomers, are the result of 'stellar cannibalism' in binary stars. In other words, binary stars are eating each other and turning into a blue straggler. http://www.physorg.com/news151160938.html Space & Earth Wed, 14 Jan 2009 13:08:58 EST news151160938
