The first direct evidence of the Big Bang and cosmic inflation announced
2014-03-17 17:55:51| Extremetech
Astrophysicists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center have observed gravitational waves -- the first ever direct evidence of the Big Bang, the theory that the entire universe sprung into existence from a tiny spot in the universe 13.8 billion years ago. The significance of this discovery is comparable in importance to CERN's confirmation of the Higgs boson in 2012, and there is already talk of a Nobel prize for Harvard's new findings.

Astronomers using the combined power of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have discovered a far-flung trio of primitive galaxies nestled inside an enormous blob of primordial gas nearly 13 billion light-years from Earth.

Kepler's Search for Life: Cosmic Haystack Just Got a Lot Bigger
2013-11-06 01:12:35| TechNewsWorld
Around a fifth of the Sun-like stars in the Milky Way are orbited by Earth-sized planets capable of sustaining life, suggests a study of data obtained by NASA's Kepler and the Keck Observatory. Those planets, up to twice Earth's size, are orbiting their stars in the so-called habitable zone -- that is, the range of orbits that would permit liquid water to exist on the surface.
Scientists will use cosmic rays to peer inside Fukushima reactor

Muons created in the upper atmosphere will let researchers from Los Alamos National Labs see the state of the heavily shielded core of the damaged and dangerous Fukushima reactor. The researchers are using cosmic rays to create what is essentially an X-ray of the core's damage.
