New Findings Show Some Type Ia Supernovae Linked to Novae


In the August 24 issue of the journal Science, astronomers for the first time show at least some that thermonuclear (Type Ia) supernovae eats from a regular nova. The results of the study, led by Ben Dilday, a postdoctoral researcher in physics at UC Santa Barbara and at Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network (LCOGT), are surprising because earlier indirect - but strong - evidence had pointed to the merger of two white dwarf stars as the Originators of Type Ia supernovae other.

NASA Curiosity Rover Begins Trek Eastbound on Martian Surface


NASA's Mars Curiosity rover has set off from its surrounding area landing on a trek to a science destination about a quarter mile (400 meters) away, where it may begin using its drill.

The rover drove eastward About 52 feet (16 meters) on Tuesday, its 22nd Martian day after landing. This third drive was longer than Curiosity's first two drives combined. The previous drives tested the mobility system and positioned the rover to examine an area scoured by exhaust from one of the Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft engines That Placed the rover on the ground.
