...Gamma-ray scientists are starved for information," says Richard Lingenfelter, an astronomer at the University of California at San Diego. Data gathered on such violent but poetic-sounding celestial bodies as neutron stars, supernovas and black holes could force astronomers to revise or even discard popular notions on the origin of the universe...
...skies throughout the electromagnetic spectrum, using X rays, visible light and infrared light. These sensitive instruments were developed by a team of scientists from Germany, the Netherlands, the U.S. and the European Space Agency. The four monitors will all use liquid and solid crystals to record the origin of gamma- ) ray sources. As the rays smash into the crystals, they produce flashes of light called scintillations. Those data will be measured and sent back to earth. One of the instruments will track gamma-ray bursts, events that until recently some scientists did not believe existed. "It's a little like...
...geography could shed light on several geologic mysteries. Researchers have not yet agreed on the origin of the Pacific Ocean. Some have suggested it was formed when Siberia split off from North America; a few even postulated it was created by the moon calving off from the earth long ago. In the new scenario, the ocean would have been created when Antarctica and Australia migrated away from North America 570 million years...
