Astronomy and Space News - Astro Watch: Russian Proton-M Rocket Destroyed Over Siberia
http://www.astrowatch.net/2015/05/russian-proton-m-rocket-destroyed-over.html
Sunday, May 17, 2015. Russian Proton-M Rocket Destroyed Over Siberia. A Russian State Commission has begun the process of determining the reasons for the anomaly. ILS will release details when data becomes available. In parallel with the State Commission, ILS will form its own Failure Review Oversight Board (FROB). The FROB will review the commission’s final report and corrective action plan, in accord with U.S. and Russian government export control regulations. Some experts suppose that one of the cause...

Astronomy and Space News - Astro Watch: New theory points to ‘zombie vortices’ as key step in star formation
http://www.astrowatch.net/2013/08/new-theory-points-to-zombie-vortices-as.html
Wednesday, August 21, 2013. New theory points to ‘zombie vortices’ as key step in star formation. But for the protostar to grow bigger, the spinning disk needs to lose some of its angular momentum so that the gas can slow down and spiral inward onto the protostar. Once the protostar gains enough mass, it can kick off nuclear fusion. 8220;After this last step, a star is born,” said Marcus, a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. 8220;Current models show that because the gas in the disk is...

Astronomy and Space News - Astro Watch: Spektr-RG Astrophysics Observatory to Be Launched in 2016-2017
http://www.astrowatch.net/2015/05/spektr-rg-astrophysics-observatory-to.html
Sunday, May 17, 2015. Spektr-RG Astrophysics Observatory to Be Launched in 2016-2017. The payload of Spektr-RG was ultimately limited to two instruments: eROSITA (Extended Röntgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array) Wolter telescopes provided by the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (Germany) and ART-XC Coded-mask telescopes built by IKI/VNIIEF (Russian Federal Nuclear Centre).

http://www.astrowatch.net/2015/05/nasa-seeks-additional-information-for.html
Monday, May 18, 2015. NASA Seeks Additional Information for Asteroid Redirect Mission Spacecraft. The RFI is not a request for proposal or formal procurement and therefore is not a solicitation or commitment by the government. Deadline for submissions is 45 days after public posting of the RFI. The full RFI is available at: http:/ www.nasa.gov/feature/arm-spacecraft-bus-request-for-information. Future SEP-powered spacecraft could pre-position cargo or vehicles for future human missions into deep space, e...

SabinFotaastrofotografie: astronomy.ro first meeting
http://sevenastronomy.blogspot.com/2013/05/astronomyro-first-meeting.html
Duminică, 12 mai 2013. Astronomy.ro first meeting. Și am fost la Plaiul Lisei, o locaţie superbă din judeţul Braşov pentru prima întâlnire astronomy.ro. A fost o ocazie excelentă pentru a lega noi prietenii și a cunoaște oamenii pasionați de astronomie de pe forum pe care îi cunoșteam doar după nickname-uri. Cu această ocazie am avut posibilitatea să testez noua achiziție, Ultimate 600D de la JTW Astronomy. Cristi Dănescu (jimao) - Sistemul ASCOM și automatizarea unui observator,. Zona Cygnus şi Lyra.

Astronomy and Space News - Astro Watch: Magnetar Near Supermassive Black Hole Delivers Surprises
http://www.astrowatch.net/2015/05/magnetar-near-supermassive-black-hole.html
Friday, May 15, 2015. Magnetar Near Supermassive Black Hole Delivers Surprises. In 2013, astronomers announced they had discovered a magnetar exceptionally close to the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Using a suite of space-borne telescopes including NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. Magnetars are dense, collapsed stars (called " neutron stars. That possess enormously powerful magnetic fields. At a distance that could be as small as 0.3 light years. The inset contains Chandra's cl...

Astronomy and Space News - Astro Watch: Star Formation and Magnetic Turbulence Seen in the Orion Molecular Cloud
http://www.astrowatch.net/2015/05/star-formation-and-magnetic-turbulence.html
Monday, May 18, 2015. Star Formation and Magnetic Turbulence Seen in the Orion Molecular Cloud. Our Galaxy is pervaded by a diffuse mixture of gas and dust that occasionally becomes denser, creating giant gas clouds where stars can form. While present only in traces, dust is a crucial ingredient in these interstellar clouds. It also shines brightly at some of the wavelengths that were probed by Planck, so astronomers can use these data to learn more about the cradles of star formation. The emission from ...
