Updated: 2012-08-29 19:32:14Tom Banks has long been skeptical of the popular picture of the string theory landscape — the idea that there is some extremely large (10500 or more) number of phases of string theory, representing different ways to compactify the extra dimensions, and that all these phases are dynamically connected to each other, possibly by cosmological [...]More Galaxy Zoo News from China

I’m Joel Miller, I’m just about to start year 13 at The Marlborough School, Woodstock, and I am here at Oxford University working on mergers from the Galaxy Zoo Hubble data as part of my Nuffield Science Bursary. I have/will be looking at the data and plotting graphs to see how the fraction of galaxies [...]An anniversary Voorwerpje
Updated: 2012-08-16 14:24:16Following on the heels of the 5th anniversary of Galaxy Zoo itself, this week marks five years since Hanny pointed out the Voorwerp. To help celebrate the occasion, we have new Hubble data on another of its smallar relatives. This time the telescope pointed toward SDSS J151004.01+074037.1 (SDSS 1510 for short). This has a type [...]

The July 2012 of the Naked Astronomy podcast includes an interview I did with them (at the UK National Astronomy meeting this spring) about Galaxy Zoo and why it’s such a great way of learning about galaxies in the universe.

Updated: 2012-08-05 20:22:02, Akeno Giant Air Shower Array From Wikipedia , the free encyclopedia Jump to : navigation search The Akeno Giant Air Shower Array AGASA is a very large surface array designed to study the origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays It covers an area of 100 km 2 and consists of 111 surface detectors and 27 muon detectors . Array experiments such as this one are used to detect air shower . particles The array is operated by the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research University of Tokyo at the Akeno Observatory edit Results The results from AGASA were used to calculate the energy spectrum and anisotropy of cosmic rays . The results helped to confirm the existence of ultra-high energy cosmic rays 5 10 19 eV such as the so-called Oh-My-God particle that was observed by the Fly's Eye experiment run by
