| Felix Baumgartner successfully lands after highest freefall from edge of space Posted: 14 Oct 2012 02:06 PM PDT After flying to an altitude of 39 kilometers (24 miles) in a helium-filled balloon, Felix Baumgartner completed Sunday morning a record breaking jump for the ages from the edge of space, exactly 65 years after Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier flying in an experimental rocket-powered airplane. The 43-year-old Austrian skydiving expert also broke two other world records (highest freefall, highest manned balloon flight).  |
| Solar wind particles likely source of water locked inside lunar soils Posted: 14 Oct 2012 01:28 PM PDT The most likely source of the water locked inside soils on the moon's surface is the constant stream of charged particles from the sun known as the solar wind, new research suggests.  |
| X-ray satellites monitor the clashing winds of a colossal binary Posted: 12 Oct 2012 11:26 AM PDT The hottest and most massive stars don't live long enough to disperse throughout the galaxy. Instead, they can be found near the clouds of gas and dust where they formed -- and where they will explode as supernovae after a few million years. They huddle in tight clusters with other young stars or in looser groupings called OB associations, a name reflecting their impressive populations of rare O- and B-type stars.  |
