GOCE Satellite Determines Gravitational Force In The HimalayasMunich, Germany (SPX) May 10, 2010 ESA's GOCE satellite has been orbiting the Earth for more than a year and surveying its gravitational field more accurately than any instrument previously. The goal of the researchers - including scientists at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) - is to determine the gravitational force in precise detail even in pathless places like the Himalayas. Evaluations of the first data from the satellite indicate that current models of the gravitational field in some regions can be fundamentally rev ... read more |

Washington (AFP) April 16, 2010As ash from an Iceland volcano snarled air travel across Europe, experts said an eruption of the 'supervolcano' at the Yellowstone national park would be deadly, though it is unlikely any time soon. "The next major eruption for Yellowstone, if you have a guess, is probably thousands of years in the future," Bill Burton, a vulcanologist with the US Geological Survey, told AFP. The volcano ... more  
Bangalore (IANS) Apr 15, 2010India Wednesday readied itself to join the elite space club by firing for the first time its own cryogenic rocket engine to launch an advanced communication satellite. "The 29-hour countdown began 11.27 a.m. at Sriharikota for launching the geo-synchronous satellite launch vehicle (GSLV-D3) Thursday at 16:27 IST with a geo-stationary satellite (GSAT-4) as its main payload," Indian Space Re ... more  
Paris, France (ESA) Apr 15, 2010Polar skies glowed with ghostly auroras last week during the biggest geomagnetic storm of 2010. The event owed its origin to a solar eruption a few days earlier - revealed here in high-speed detail by ESA's small Sun-watcher Proba-2. Eruptions like this one have several components, most notably solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). Solar flares are caused by sudden impulsive rele ... more |
