Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer Arrives At Launch Site
Paris, France (ESA) Aug 27, 2010
One of the most complex space scientific instruments ever built, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) arrived at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, escorted by astronauts who will fly with it on the Space Shuttle in February 2011. The antimatter hunter AMS-02 began the first stage of its voyage to the International Space Station (ISS) from Geneva international airport, in Switzerland

Shrinking Atmospheric Layer Linked To Low Levels Of Solar Radiation
Boulder CO (SPX) Aug 27, 2010
Large changes in the Sun's energy output may drive unexpectedly dramatic fluctuations in Earth's outer atmosphere, new research indicates. A new study links a recent, temporary shrinking of a high atmospheric layer with a sharp drop in the Sun's ultraviolet radiation levels. The research, led by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the University of Colorad

WISE Captures The Unicorn's Rose
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 27, 2010
Unicorns and roses are usually the stuff of fairy tales, but a new cosmic image taken by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Explorer (WISE) shows the Rosette nebula located within the constellation Monoceros, or the Unicorn. This flower-shaped nebula, also known by the less romantic name NGC 2237, is a huge star-forming cloud of dust and gas in our Milky Way galaxy. Estimates of the nebula's dista

Kepler Discovers Multiple Planets Transiting A Single Star
Huntsville AL (SPX) Aug 27, 2010
NASA's Kepler spacecraft has discovered the first confirmed planetary system with more than one planet crossing in front of, or transiting, the same star. The transit signatures of two distinct Saturn-sized planets were seen in the data for a sun-like star designated "Kepler-9." The planets were named Kepler-9b and 9c. The discovery incorporates seven months of observations of more than 15

Japan develops 'touchable' 3D TV technology
Tokyo (AFP) Aug 26, 2010
A Japanese research team said Thursday it had developed the world's first 3D television system that allows users to touch, pinch or poke images floating in front of them. "It is the first time that you can feel images in the air," said Norio Nakamura, senior scientist with the research team at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology.

Sunlight Spawns Many Binary And 'Divorced' Binary Asteroids
Berkeley CA (SPX) Aug 27, 2010
The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is often depicted as a dull zone of dead rocks with an occasional wayward speedster smashing through on its way toward the sun. A new study appearing in the journal Nature paints a different picture, one of slow but steady change, where sunlight gradually drives asteroids to split in two and move far apart to become independent asteroids among the

NASA/NOAA Study Finds El Ninos Are Growing Stronger
Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 27, 2010
A relatively new type of El Nino, which has its warmest waters in the central-equatorial Pacific Ocean, rather than in the eastern-equatorial Pacific, is becoming more common and progressively stronger, according to a new study by NASA and NOAA. The research may improve our understanding of the relationship between El Ninos and climate change, and has potentially significant implications for lon

The Strange Case Of Solar Flares And Radioactive Elements
Stanford CA (SPX) Aug 27, 2010
It's a mystery that presented itself unexpectedly: The radioactive decay of some elements sitting quietly in laboratories on Earth seemed to be influenced by activities inside the sun, 93 million miles away. Is this possible? Researchers from Stanford and Purdue University believe it is. But their explanation of how it happens opens the door to yet another mystery. There is even an o

Opportunity Stops To Check Out Rocks
Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 27, 2010
Opportunity has paused in her trek toward Endeavour crater to examine an exposed outcrop of rock that is of interest to the science team. On Sol 2336 (Aug. 19, 2010), the rover performed a 7-meter (23-foot) backward turn with a forward bump to approach the outcrop contact. On the next sol, Opportunity performed a short turn to place surface targets within reach of the robotic arm (Instrume

Some Asteroids Live In Own Little Worlds
Boulder CO (SPX) Aug 26, 2010
While the common perception of asteroids is that they are giant rocks lumbering about in orbit, a new study shows they actually are constantly changing "little worlds" that can give birth to smaller asteroids that split off to start their own lives as they circle around the sun. Astronomers have known that small asteroids get "spun up" to fast rotation rates by sunlight falling on them, mu

Nebrera veu inevitable un referèndum sobre la relació amb Espanya
La hipòtesi de celebrar un referèndum oficial sobre la independència continua generant reaccions i posicionaments de tots els partits catalans. Avui ha estat el portaveu parlamentari de CiU qui ha explicat que el seu partit no considera prioritària la celebració d'una consulta perquè cal passar per fases prèvies. En canvi, l'ex-diputada del PP i presidenta de la nova formació, Alternativa de Govern, Montserrat Nebrera, ha considerat que serà inevitable que Catalunya celebri un referèndum on pregunti quina relació s'ha de mantenir amb Espanya.
L'emergència del moviment de les consultes, l'aparició de noves formacions que propugnen la independència de Catalunya, i la condició d'ERC de celebrar un referèndum durant la pròxima legislatura per arribar a pactes de govern després de les eleccions al Parlament de la tardor ha fet que tots els partits s'hagin posicionat sobre aquesta possibilitat. El PSC va respondre que els ciutadans exerceixen el dret de decidir a les eleccions. ICV prioritza una reforma de la Constitució espanyola al referèndum en el qual, segons el seu parer, caldria oferir altres opcions que la independència. El PP sempre ha negat el dret de Catalunya a l'autodeterminació. I les noves formacions independentistes, Reagrupament i Solidaritat Catalana, promouen la declaració unilateral d'independència al Parlament com a pas previ a la celebració d'un referèndum.
Oriol Pujol (CiU) considera prioritari 'treure Catalunya del sot'
En una entrevista a TV3, Oriol Pujol ha assegurat que l'aparició de noves candidatures independentistes no ha modificat el discurs de CiU, i ha apostat per treure primer Catalunya del 'sot' en què es troba, a nivell polític però sobretot econòmic. En aquest sentit, davant de declaracions com les de l'ex-consellera convergent Carme-Laura Gil en defensa d'una CiU independentista, Pujol ha opinat que 'sortir del sot no passa per començar a fer una consulta demà passat, l'any vinent o d'aquí a dos anys'. El problema de Catalunya, segons ell, és la situació anímica del país, que l'autoestima està baixa. 'I ara resulta que els que han estat al capdavant del país alguns d'ells ens ho volen resoldre amb un referèndum demà passat? Això requereix fases prèvies', ha remarcat en referència al concert econòmic.
Montserrat Nebrera (Alternativa de Govern) considera que el referèndum s'ha de fer més endavant
L'ex-diputada del PP al Parlament i impulsora d'Alternativa de Govern, Montserrat Nebrera, considera que serà inevitable que Catalunya celebri un referèndum on pregunti quina relació s'ha de mantenir amb Espanya, però demana més temps de maduració, perquè la ciutadania sàpiga què vol dir votar cadascuna de les opcions que es plantegin. 'Estic convençuda que aquesta pregunta al final s'haurà de fer, però per fer-la cal seriositat, responsabilitat, i cal que la gent sàpiga perfectament què és el que fa quan li pregunten i què és el que respon quan respon', ha argumentat. Nebrera ha iniciat des de Granollers el curs polític sense saber si es presentarà a les eleccions.
