A cynical take on Stargate Universe

After spending the majority of this article tearing Stargate Universe apart, the reviewer admits to being compelled to watch it each week, perhaps because SGU does, after all, fill that void leftover by the demise of BSG http://j.mp/7z7DZw

TV show Flashforward is based on SciFi book of CERN experiment that went wrong

As if mini black holes that will destroy the planet are not enough, CERN is now being blamed for a mass human blackout where everyone sees a glimpse of their future for good or for worse. http://bit.ly/5qKdSH

WISE wll look for Dark Asteroids and Brown Dwarf Stars - NASA mission briefing

The purpose of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer is to find hidden cosmic objects that are not detectable by natural light telescopes within our own Solar System and beyond.

WISE will look for Dark Asteroids within our own Solar System, Brown Dwarf Stars in our solar neighbourhood and Ultra-Luminous Galaxies in Deep Space.

The map generated by WISE will be used as a guide for other Space Telescopes such as Hubble, Spitzer, and upcoming Sofia and James Webb which will look more closely at these objects.

NASA 'A' team maybe given 1000 days to make Project M happen

Rumoured Project M apparently already initiated at Johnson Space Center will aim to send an unmanned lander to the Moon within a very short period of 1000 days by recruiting a group of the best engineers in the world and without involving any major contractors. http://bit.ly/5LtRMR

Pummelling Snowballs likely source of LCROSS water findings

Where did the Moon water come from? The science data is pointing strongly towards Comets because high level readings of volatiles were recorded during observations of the LCROSS lunar impact. http://bit.ly/8pdouJ

Next best thing to watching on IMAX - STS129 HD Shuttle Launch Footage

If your broadband connection is up to it, select the HD and Full Screen mode and turn up the sound very LOUD! to watch this high definition NASA Footage of STS 129 Space Shuttle Atlantis launching from Kennedy Space Center's Pad39a on Monday 16th November 2009.

Holy Cow Thats So Cool! - Space Shuttle Really Trucking!

Not today's launch but happened to stumble across this video which shows a previous launch from a passenger plane. This unique wide field of view amateur footage shows really well how the Space Shuttle punches its way into orbit, which you don't really appreciate from the usual zoomed in shots.

Follow the position of the Space Shuttle whilst in orbit

The Space Shuttle is observable with the naked eye from the ground whilst in orbit, the above graphic shows the current position, but if you would like to know more about when and where to observe the Space Shuttle at your location go to www.n2yo.com

What happened after the booster separation of Ares I-X

Amazing NASA aerial video footage of the Ares 1-X test flight including what happened after the solid rocket booster (SRB) separation. The SRB appears to barge the Orion dummy capsule out of the way, although they probably never touched in reality. The SRB then proceeds on its tumbling freefall trajectory, eventually deploying the drone chute at a relatively low altitude prior to releasing all three of the main parachutes. At this point one of the parachute canopies collapses due to a cord failure and with the parachute still partially attached to the booster it interferes with a second parachute. The resulting 50% loss of drag causes the SRB to splash into the ocean at a much greater vertical and horizontal velocity than normal. This high velocity splashdown is believed to have caused the crease to the Ares I-X outer rocket casing and similar damage has been seen on Space Shuttle boosters following parachute failures.

Star Blast from the Past

The oldest object so far detected in the Universe was recently observed by Astronomers following a gamma-ray burst that was picked up by NASA's Swift Gamma-Ray Telescope.  The after-glow was also observed by Leicester University's Infra-Red telescope in Hawaii.  The object responsible for the explosion was a progenitor star which has since been designated GRB 090423 and is estimated to have exploded 13 billion years ago, a mere 600 million years after the Big Bang occurred. http://j.mp/sDR2H
