    Farewell, silent Philae | Rosetta - ESA's comet chaser
    http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2016/07/26/farewell-silent-philae/
    Tomorrow, 27 July 2016 at 09:00 UTC / 11:00 CEST, the Electrical Support System Processor Unit (ESS) on Rosetta will be switched off.
    The ESS is the interface used for communications between Rosetta and the lander, Philae, which has remained silent since 9 July 2015.

    Comet Lovejoy shows asymmetric behavior at perihelion
    http://phys.org/news/2016-07-comet-lovejoy-asymmetric-behavior-perihelion.html
    Indian astronomers have recently conducted spectrographic observations of long-period Comet Lovejoy to study its gas emission.
    They found that this comet showcases an asymmetric behavior at perihelion and an increase in the activity during the post-
    perihelion phase. The findings were detailed in a paper published July 22 on the arXiv pre-print server.

    Named after a true renaissance man of Russia, the Mikhailo Lomonosov satellite will search for most elusive physical phenomena
    far above it in the Universe and below it in the Earth's atmosphere. After a decade in development, Lomonosov became the primary
    payload to be launched during the first mission from Russia's new Vostochny spaceport.

    Seven new embedded clusters detected in the Galactic halo
    http://phys.org/news/2016-07-embedded-clusters-galactic-halo.html
    A team of Brazilian astronomers, led by Denilso Camargo of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Porto Alegre,
    has discovered seven new embedded clusters located unusually far away from the Milky Way's disc. The findings, presented
    in a paper published July 3 on arXiv.org, could provide new insights on star cluster formation.
    Embedded clusters are stellar clusters encased in an interstellar dust or gas, consisting of extremely young stars. They
    are crucial for astronomers to better understand star formation and early stellar evolution. Studying these clusters could
    reveal the origin of stellar masses as well as the origin and evolution of protoplanetary disks, where planet formation
    processes take place.

    A Pulsar and a Disk
    http://aasnova.org/2016/07/25/a-pulsar-and-a-disk/
    Recent, unusual X-ray observations from our galactic neighbor, the Small Magellanic Cloud,
    have led to an interesting model for SXP 214, a pulsar in a binary star system.

    The energy distribution of the X-ray emission from SXP 214 over time. Dark shades or blue colors indicate high counts, and light
    shades or yellow colors indicate low counts. Lower-energy X-ray emission appeared only later, after about 20 ks. [Hong et al. 2016]

    Just-so black holes | Harvard Gazette
    http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2016/07/just-so-black-holes/
    Astronomers Aaron Smith and Volker Bromm of the University of Texas at Austin, working with Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics,
    have discovered evidence for an unusual kind of black hole born extremely early in the universe. In new research they show that a recently discovered
    source of intense radiation is likely powered by a “direct-collapse black hole,” a phenomenon predicted by theorists more than a decade ago.

    The work was published this month in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

    Before animals, evolution waited eons to inhale
    http://phys.org/news/2016-07-animals-evolution-eons-inhale.html
    A couple of times in four billion years, evolution has slowed to a crawl.
    And an eon or so has passed before more complex life forms, such as simple animals, could arise.
    Evolution may have been waiting for a decent breath of oxygen, said researcher Chris Reinhard. And that was hard to come by.
    His research team is tracking down O2 concentrations in oceans, where earliest animals evolved.
    By doing so, they have jumped into the middle of a heated scientific debate on what rising oxygen did, if anything, to charge
    up evolutionary eras. Now, Reinhard, a geochemist from the Georgia Institute of Technology, is shaking up conventional thinking
    with the help of computer modeling.

    A state-of-the-art telescope to study light with wavelengths of about one millimetre,
    shining from some of the coldest objects in the Universe, ALMA is a cooperation of
    the European Southern Observatory (ESO), together with its international partners.
    The site of ALMA is the 5000-m altitude Chajnantor plateau in northern Chile, one of
    the driest places on Earth.

    http://www.nasa.gov/...oddard/2016/astronomers-discover-dizzying-spin-of-the-milky-way-galaxy-s-halo
    Astronomers at the University of Michigan’s College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) discovered for the first time that the hot gas in the halo of
    the Milky Way galaxy is spinning in the same direction and at comparable speed as the galaxy's disk, which contains our stars, planets, gas, and dust. This
    new knowledge sheds light on how individual atoms have assembled into stars, planets, and galaxies like our own, and what the future holds for these galaxies.
