NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope Discovers Extrasolar Planet Lacking Methane. Wednesday, April 21, 2010. PASADENA, Calif. - NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has discovered something odd about a distant planet - it lacks methane, an ingredient common to many of the planets in our solar system. In this case, we expected to find methane not because of the presence of life, but be...

Extrasolar Planets: Is densest Kuiper belt object a wayward asteroid?
http://extrasolar-planetz.blogspot.com/2010/04/is-densest-kuiper-belt-object-wayward.html
Current Planet Count: 442 Stars with Planets: 363 Hot Jupiter's: 89 Gas Giants: 271 Earth Like Planets: 0. Saturday, April 10, 2010. Is densest Kuiper belt object a wayward asteroid? Saturday, April 10, 2010. Quaoar, a large object in the outer solar system, is mostly made of rock, unlike its icy neighbours (Illustration: NASA/G. Bacon/STScI). Quaoar's high density suggests it is made almost entirely of rock, unlike its neighbours, which are a mixture of ice and rock, the researchers conclude. They s...

Herschel Space Observatory Cast: Planck sees tapestry of cold dust
http://herschel-cast.blogspot.com/2010/03/planck-sees-tapestry-of-cold-dust.html
Herschel Space Observatory Cast. Wednesday, March 17, 2010. Planck sees tapestry of cold dust. Credits: ESA and the HFI Consortium, IRAS. Giant filaments of cold dust stretching through our Galaxy are revealed in a new image from ESA’s Planck satellite. Analysing these structures could help to determine the forces that shape our Galaxy and trigger star formation. Planck is principally designed to study the biggest mysteries of cosmology. How did the Universe form? How did the galaxies form? 8220;What mak...
