(PhysOrg.com) -- A star's spectacular death in the constellation Taurus was observed on Earth as the supernova of 1054 A.D. http://www.physorg.com/news178220365.html Space & Earth Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:40:06 EST news178220365 An exciting new astrophysics mission led by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., will provide a revolutionary window into the universe. Named the Gravity and Extreme Magnetism Small Explorer (GEMS), the satellite will be the first to systematically measure the polarization of cosmic X-ray sources. http://www.physorg.com/news168623210.html Space & Earth Tue, 04 Aug 2009 16:47:27 EST news168623210 A small, dense object only twelve miles in diameter is responsible for this beautiful X-ray nebula that spans 150 light years. At the center of this image made by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is a very young and powerful pulsar, known as PSR B1509-58, or B1509 for short. The pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star which is spewing energy out into the space around it to create complex and intriguing structures, including one that resembles a large cosmic hand. http://www.physorg.com/news157996137.html Space & Earth Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:49:37 EST news157996137 (PhysOrg.com) -- Thanks to data from ESA's Integral gamma-ray observatory, scientists have been able to locate where particles in the vicinity of the rotating neutron-star in the Crab Nebula are accelerated to immense energies. http://www.physorg.com/news139233709.html Space & Earth Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:01:49 EST news139233709
