(PhysOrg.com) -- Bring together a small group of highly motivated researchers, grant them full access to laboratory and production facilities, remove all administrative distractions, and let them work intensively for four to six months. That's what 'StarTiger' is all about! http://www.physorg.com/news179761936.html Space & Earth Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:20:01 EST news179761936 (PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists using a continent-wide array of radio telescopes have made an extremely precise measurement of the curvature of space caused by the Sun's gravity, and their technique promises a major contribution to a frontier area of basic physics. http://www.physorg.com/news171028283.html Physics Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:52:11 EST news171028283 Montana State University scientists are involved in a new space mission to figure out how energy is transferred through the sun's atmosphere. http://www.physorg.com/news170957674.html Space & Earth Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:00:01 EST news170957674 Two MIT Alumni Association groups led by MIT professors were rewarded with clear skies - just barely - for the total eclipse of the sun on July 22, possibly the most-watched eclipse in history. The eclipse path crossed much of Asia and the western Pacific, and the period of totality, when the sun's disk was completely obscured by the moon, was the longest of the 21st century. http://www.physorg.com/news168187350.html Space & Earth Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:50:02 EST news168187350 The Hinode satellite observing our sun captured images of the moon traversing the face of the sun during a solar eclipse this week. http://www.physorg.com/news167659283.html Space & Earth Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:20:02 EST news167659283 Scientists at this observatory outside Hangzhou joined residents and tourists across China and India in observing the longest total solar eclipse in a century and probably the most-viewed ever. http://www.physorg.com/news167475651.html Space & Earth Wed, 22 Jul 2009 10:01:16 EST news167475651 (AP) -- From the Ganges River in India to remote islands of the Pacific, the sun rose Wednesday only to vanish again, allowing the stars to twinkle into view in the longest total solar eclipse this century will see - a celestial show that inspired awe and fear in millions across Asia. http://www.physorg.com/news167459787.html Space & Earth Wed, 22 Jul 2009 05:37:11 EST news167459787 One one-thousand, 2 one-thousand, 3 one-thousand, 4 one-thousand...

New research from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen indicates that the Stone Age graves' orientation in the landscape could have an astronomical explanation. The Danish passage graves are most likely oriented according to the path of the full moon, perhaps even according to the full moon immediately before a lunar eclipse. The results are published in the scientific journal Acta Archaeologica. http://www.physorg.com/news148829398.html Other Sciences Thu, 18 Dec 2008 13:29:58 EST news148829398 On Friday, August 1st, millions of people in Greenland, Siberia, Mongolia and China -especially China -are going to witness a total eclipse of the sun. The Moon's cool shadow will sweep across the landscape, silencing wildlife with sudden darkness, filling the sky with the sun's ghostly corona, transforming ordinary folks into life-long eclipse chasers. Mainstream media gives this sort of thing saturation coverage. http://www.physorg.com/news136646510.html Space & Earth Wed, 30 Jul 2008 14:21:50 EST news136646510 On 1st August 2008 there will be a total eclipse of the Sun, visible from Canada, northern Greenland, Svalbard, the Barents Sea, Russia, Mongolia and China. From the whole of the British Isles observers will see a partial solar eclipse, with between 1/10th and 1/3rd of the Sun obscured by the Moon. http://www.physorg.com/news136197476.html Space & Earth Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:37:56 EST news136197476
