Updated: 2012-06-30 22:46:16
A pulsar may have been spotted racing through space at over 6 million miles per hour (9.65 million km/h), setting a new speed record for these curious cosmic objects. If observations are what they appear to be, astronomers will have to recalculate the incredible forces created by supernova explosions.

Here is the first image taken by the newest space mission, NuSTAR, or the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, the first space telescope with the ability to see the highest energy X-rays in our universe and produce crisp images of them. “Today, we obtained the first-ever focused images of the high-energy X-ray universe,” said Fiona Harrison, [...]Galactic Gong – Milky Way Struck and Still Ringing After 100 Million Years
Updated: 2012-06-29 16:44:30
When galaxies collide, stars are thrown from orbits, spiral arms are stretched and twisted, and now scientists say galaxies ring like a bell long after the cosmic crash. A team of astronomers from the United States and Canada say they have heard echoes of that ringing, possible evidence of a galactic encounter 100 million years [...]Teachers: help your kids detect cosmic rays

There’s something about being involved with something , actually doing it for yourself , that gives you a sense of ownership over the knowledge , makes you part of something . bigger Here’s another chance to do that for students across the world : the ERGO telescope project ERGO stands for Energetic Ray Global Observatory and the idea is to build simple cosmic-ray detectorsAldebaran the Hunter

Pondering questions such as What is in an exoplanet name Aldebaran the Hunter Today I was asked to write up a blog post about an African sky story I picked up from my visit to the South African Astronomical Observatory back in 2003. I like collecting new stories about the sky particularly those that aren't from the Greek Roman tradition . It adds some variety and shows that it wasn't just the Greeks and Romans who looked up and made stories about the . sky Are you sitting comfortably Then I'll begin . For the African bushmen the star Aldebaran in Taurus was a hunter . He was married to the daughters of the sky god the Seven Sisters Pleiades One day ,Astronomy in the UK Curriculum

These are nationally defined statements of the minimum that children should learn in each year of school from age 5 16. After news organisations got a sneak preview over the weekend , the official draft for the next version of the curriculum see footnote was released this . morning Yesterday The Guardian had an article that stated that there was to be less emphasis on the scientific method , fewer experiments , and more emphasis on cataloging things . I retweeted that article last night andTransit of Venus 2012

Pondering questions such as What is in an exoplanet name Transit of Venus 2012 Eight years ago on 8th June 2004 I was lucky enough to see the transit of Venus from Jodrell Bank Observatory . The website I made for that is still around . Over the next few hours we'll have another transit of Venus the last until 2117 The transit will be viewable from many places on Earth .

Pondering questions such as What is in an exoplanet name Double Hubble I happened to glance at Twitter this afternoon and saw a tweet from Alberto Conti of the Space Telescope Science Institute about the announcement that NASA has been given two Hubble-sized telescopes . According to articles in the New York Times and Washington Post the US National Reconnaissance Office decided it no longer needed them for looking down and offered them to the space agency for astronomy . Andy Lawrence points out that one of these would be perfect for WFIRST The two telescopes appear to be just that telescopes . They have no astronomical instruments and are on the ground . To use them
